Why this list, and how we chose— expand
The "no added sugar" yogurt aisle is smaller than it should be. Most "kids yogurt" pouches and cups add 7–12g of sugar on top of the 6g of natural lactose — pushing a single serving past 15g of total sugar, which is most of a child's daily American Heart Association allowance (25g for ages 2–18, zero for under 2) in one snack. This hub answers a strict question — only yogurts showing 0g on the Added Sugars line — so if you instead want the broader shopping list ranked by grams, including flavored picks at 1–3g added sugar, that is a different question, answered by our Low-Sugar Yogurt for Kids hub.
Of the 89 yogurts in our catalog, 2% contain more than 5g of added sugar per serving. Average added sugar across the category sits near 1.5g per serving, driven up by the kid-marketed sweetened tubes and pouches. The single highest-sugar yogurt in our pool is Activia Activia Strawberry Probiotic Yogurt at 14g.
For this hub we filtered to Tier A and Tier B only — yogurts with 0g of added sugar confirmed on the nutrition label. That yields 3 sugar-free options (less than 0.5g total sugar, mostly plant-based unsweetened) and 49 with zero added sugar but natural lactose intact (plain dairy yogurts). We excluded "low sugar" options at 1–3g added sugar to stay aligned with the search intent: parents looking for "no added sugar yogurt" want the clean nutrition label, not a slightly-less-sweet version.
A few brands dominate this list. Stonyfield YoBaby and Siggi's Plain are the most widely-distributed whole-milk yogurts with 0g added sugar. Fage Total (5% whole-milk Greek) is the go-to higher-protein plain pick. For plant-based, Forager Project unsweetened cashew yogurt and Kite Hill unsweetened almond yogurt are the cleanest dairy-free options. For older kids who want flavored yogurt with no added sugar, look for "Whole Milk Plain" plus a drizzle of real fruit at home — the prepackaged "kids yogurt" with cartoon characters on the label almost never clears Tier B.
Below is every yogurt in our database with 0g of added sugar on the label, sorted by total sugar (lowest first). Plain whole-milk dairy and unsweetened plant-based picks share the list.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What yogurts have no added sugar?
- Stonyfield Organic Plain Whole-Milk Yogurt, Siggi's Plain, Fage Total 5% Whole-Milk Plain, Forager Project Unsweetened Cashew Yogurt, and Kite Hill Unsweetened Almond Yogurt all have 0g added sugar on the label. Most flavored "kids yogurts" with characters on the package add 7–12g per serving.
- Is plain whole-milk yogurt good for kids?
- Plain whole-milk yogurt is the AAP-preferred option for kids ages 1–2 (whole milk fat supports brain development). It has 0g added sugar — the only sugar listed comes from natural lactose. Add fresh fruit at home for sweetness rather than buying pre-flavored versions.
- How much sugar should kids yogurt have?
- Aim for 0g added sugar (Tier A or B). The 6g of total sugar on a plain whole-milk yogurt label is natural lactose and counts separately from the AHA's 25g/day added sugar limit. Avoid yogurts with >5g added sugar per serving (Tier E).
- Are Greek yogurts lower in sugar than regular yogurt?
- Plain Greek yogurt typically has less total sugar than plain regular yogurt because the straining removes much of the whey (which contains lactose). Plain Fage Total has 4–5g total sugar per serving vs 8g for plain regular yogurt. Both have 0g added sugar.
- Is Stonyfield YoBaby a good first yogurt?
- Stonyfield Organic YoBaby Plain Whole-Milk Yogurt is a common first yogurt — 0g added sugar, whole milk fat for brain development, USDA Organic, and live probiotics. The flavored YoBaby variants add 8g of sugar per serving — stick with plain.
