These Low-Sugar Yogurt Brands Can Help You Cut Calories Without Sacrificing Flavor
If getting healthy in 2025 is at the top of your wish list, there's a good chance you're being more critical when shopping at healthy grocery stores. If you're trying to lower body fat and get lean, reducing how much sugar you eat on the reg and upping protein is a great place to start. You don't need to go cold turkey; instead, make swaps like Coke for healthy soda alternatives and fruit-at-the-bottom yogurt cups for low-sugar yogurt.
Doing so can promote weight loss, improve heart health, and help regulate blood sugar. Low-sugar yogurts, in particular, make a great treat if you're looking to cut down on sugar, but don't want to forgo sweet treats altogether.
"Yogurt is considered a good source of protein, calcium, vitamin D, and live active cultures (probiotics)," says Jessica Crandall, RD, founder and owner of Vital RD. "You can include it in a healthy diet plan by adding it to any meal or having it as a snack. I recommend using it for breakfast and topping with fruit, or as a dip that you can season and use with vegetables. You can also add it in smoothies as a healthy base or in baked goods, such as muffins, to add moisture."
Here's a look at some of the best low-sugar yogurts on the market and tips on what to look for when you're heading into the grocery store.

What to Look for in Low-Sugar Yogurt
As with any food product, not all low-sugar yogurt options are made equal. To find the best low-sugar options, be on the lookout for the following:
- Skip the Artificial Sweeteners: On the quest to find the best low-sugar yogurts on the market, it's easy to look for buzzwords like "sugar-free." While this might sound good in theory, there's a good chance sugar-free options are packed with artificial sweeteners. "Try to limit added sugar which can come from sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, honey, agave, and cane sugar," Crandall says.
- Opt for Plain Options: "I recommend sticking with plain yogurt and adding your own fruit to keep the sugar content low," Crandall says. "Or if you prefer a flavored yogurt, look for minimal added sugar and real fruit that sweetens it instead of added sugar."
- Pay Attention to the Amount of Sugar: If the yogurt you're choosing does have sugar, learn to read labels and pay attention to the amount. "Aim for a yogurt with as little sugar as possible–ideally under 10 grams per 6 oz container," Crandall adds.
- Check for Protein: Unless you're eating a low-sugar yogurt packed with live active cultures, there's a good chance you're just eating empty calories. Crandall suggests opting for an option like Greek yogurt that packs a good punch of protein into a tiny amount of food.
