Hi Carol, I haven't found any low sugar ones. However here
are the stats on the three most common brands,
Silk Stoneyfield Trader Joe's
Fat 2 g 2 g 3 g
Sodium 25mg 35mg 20mg
Fiber 1 g 4 g 2 g
Sugar 22 g 27 g 21 g
Protein 4 g 7 g 6 g
Carbs 31 g 32 g 30 g
Cal 160 160 170
taste 1 3 2
texture 1 3 2
price .99* .99* .99#
*=Jewel on Lincoln Ave.,Chicago
#=Trader Joe's on Lincoln Ave. Chicago
Notes: Silk was no.1 by far and away. Stonyfield was a close
3rd to TJ's. Strawberry was the only flavor tested. Also,
the TJ's does not sell any other brand but their own.Same
with their soy cheeses.

Hey Carol,
I'm lactose intolerant and diabetic, so I also have to watch the sugar content in my soy yogurt...I never buy the Wholesoy or Silk brands, because they have added sugars in them. The brand I buy is Wildwood, and I get the plain, unsweetened kind, which has only a few grams of carbohydrates in it, and several grams of fiber. I'm not sure if you have a store that carries it (I live in California, and the Whole Foods in my hometown does) but if you can't find it, you can probably order it online.
Hope that helps!

It looks like making your own might be the best option. It's actually ludicrously simple. If you use PLAIN/natural, unsweetened soy milk you obviously control the amount of carbohydrate & sugars.

Hi Julia,
Thanks for your thought. I've heard of Wildwood, but have not seen it in my regular grocery store (they have an organic section). I'd have to search the health food stores to see if they carry it.
I just ordered a yogurt maker and I am going to try and make it myself. If that doesn't work out, I will look for the Wildwood yogurts.
Thanks again,
Carol

Wow Bob!! Thanks for the info. That just goes to show that almost all of the soy yogurts have alot of sugar and there isn't a large selection of them. I got a suggestion to buy a yogurt maker (which I did) or try Wildwood yogurts. Hopefully the yogurt maker does the trick.
Thanks again for the info,
Carol

Hi Carol, You're welcome! Wildwood tastes very tart! Almost
as tart as a lemon. I've never heard of a mechanical yogurt
maker, ice cream machines, yes, but never a yogurt maker.Is it
like an ice cream machine? -Bob
