While it’s not hard to find a low-carb, low-sugar yogurt, finding one that’s also keto-friendly can be a challenge. Keto yogurts are high in fat and protein and low in carbs, which means the ones that make the cut can be pretty plain. Sure, we all love the fruity flavor, but added sugar will raise your blood sugar levels and take you out of ketosis. So, the question becomes: What yogurt is a good fit for a keto diet and also tastes good? “Keto-friendly yogurt should have no sugar added (or be sweetened with monk fruit, stevia, or erythritol) and contain fewer than 5 grams of carbs per serving,” says Heather Hanks, MS, CAM, Medical Solutions BCN—Nutritionist and Medical Advisor. “Stay away from ‘sugar free’ yogurts that are sweetened with artificial sugars such as sucralose or aspartame. Greek yogurt is preferable because it tends to be lower in sugar, lactose, and carbs than whole milk yogurt.” Here’s a list of the top options.
