Head-to-Head Breakdown
Strengths & Weaknesses
Kite Hill Greek-Style Plain Almond Milk Yogurt
- VegNews Editors' Pick and Making Thyme's top texture score (9/10), with multiple reviewers calling it the closest thing to dairy Greek yogurt available
- 17g protein per serving (per packaging) beats most dairy Greek yogurts, making it a serious post-workout option that happens to be plant-based
- Short, clean ingredient list with almond milk base keeps saturated fat low (unlike coconut-based competitors that can hit 10-21g per CSPI)
- Eleat's panel found the texture 'unpleasant' in the regular (non-Greek) style, and the brand's quality varies significantly between product lines
- Contains both almonds and soy (per packaging), ruling it out for anyone with tree nut or soy allergies. That's two of the top eight allergens in one product
- At ~$5.49/16oz vs Silk's ~$3.99/24oz, you're paying significantly more per ounce. The price gap adds up for a weekly grocery staple
Silk Dairy-Free Soymilk Yogurt Alternative
- CSPI's top nutritional pick with 6g protein and 15% DV calcium per serving, the best nutrition-per-dollar in the category at ~$4.49 for 24oz
- VegNews readers voted it #2 overall (2025), and Sporked testers were 'genuinely surprised it was dairy-free' by the soy version's dairy-like tang
- Available at every major grocery chain in America, B Corp certified, and the plain variety has only 4g added sugar
- Milk Free Mom declined to recommend it due to a longer additive list than premium brands like Kite Hill or Forager
- Making Thyme only scored flavored versions 6/10 for taste, calling vanilla 'way too sweet' at 16g sugar per serving
- Soy base is a dealbreaker for people with soy allergies or those specifically avoiding soy for dietary reasons
The Verdict
Our Bottom Line
Kite Hill won because it solved the two problems that sink most vegan yogurts: protein and texture. The Greek-style plain hits 17g protein per serving, which is competitive with dairy Greek yogurt and leagues ahead of the 1-2g you get from coconut-based competitors. That matters. Half the people buying yogurt are eating it for the protein.

The Greek-style plain hits 17g protein per serving, which is competitive with dairy Greek yogurt and leagues ahead of the 1-2g you get from coconut-based competitors. That matters. Half the people buying yogurt are eating it for the protein.
- You want plant-based yogurt that actually beats dairy Greek yogurt on protein (17g vs the typical 12-15g)
- Texture is your top priority, and you've been disappointed by thin, grainy, or gummy vegan yogurts before
- You're willing to pay a premium ($5.49/16oz) for the closest thing to dairy yogurt currently available
- You eat yogurt as a meal component (bowls, smoothies, savory cooking) rather than just a snack
- Low saturated fat matters to you, ruling out coconut-based options
Silk Dairy-Free Soymilk Yogurt Alternative
Silk won the value pick because no other vegan yogurt delivers this much nutrition for this little money. At ~$3.99 for 24oz, it costs roughly 40% less per ounce than Kite Hill. The soy base gives it 7g protein per serving (triple what coconut yogurts offer) and 15% DV calcium. CSPI named it their top nutritional recommendation for plant-based yogurt, specifically praising the soy version's balance of protein, calcium, and low added sugar in the plain variety (just 4g).
- You buy yogurt weekly and price adds up: Silk saves you roughly $78/year over Kite Hill at one tub per week
- You want solid protein (6g) and calcium (15% DV) without paying premium prices
- You need something available at any grocery store, not just Whole Foods or natural food chains
- You prefer the familiar tang of soy-based yogurt, which multiple reviewers called the closest to dairy
- B Corp certification and corporate responsibility factor into your purchasing decisions
