If you're looking for a dairy-free option that rivals popular dairy yogurts in taste and consistency, then this could be your holy grail. Not only does it offer satisfyingly sweet, slightly tangy flavors and the perfect creamy consistency (without carrageenan!), it's also naturally equivalent in protein and calcium. But like those dairy-based yogurts, these are a bit high in sugars (aside from the Simply Plain with just 7 grams per cup).
To note, these have a base of non-GMO, whole soy (not isolates). If the goal was to top one of the biggest dairy yogurt makers, they may have succeeded. Silk Dairy Free Yogurt takes cultured milk beverage to a new sweet and dreamy level. But first, lets address the elephant in the room. Silk Dairy Free Yogurt Alternative is soy-based. Why do I still like it?
It is made with whole, non-GMO soy and not with genetically-modified soy and not soy protein, soy isolates, or soy concentrates. The latter are the types of soy that tend to get a thumbs down from scientific studies when eaten in excess. Fermented soy and whole soy foods actually don’t have a bad rap in the research. Just enjoy in moderation is the mantra I take with all foods! Plus, let’s face it, soy has been largely unbeatable as a base for yogurt substitutes.
