Plain yogurt
Dannon Plain Whole Milk Yogurt
The highest-rated yogurt Consumer Reports has tested, ahead of 144 others including Fage and Chobani. Milk and cultures, at about half the price of the Greek brands.
Worth knowing
- Thinner than Greek or Icelandic yogurt.
- Dannon's low-fat and nonfat plain versions rated lower.
Ingredients
Cultured grade A milk, Live and active cultures (S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. acidophilus), Vitamin D3.
What we ruled out
Flavored yogurt with more than 6 g of added sugar a serving. The healthiest yogurts in Consumer Reports' test also tasted best, and they had the least added sugar.
Also good
Trader Joe's Organic Plain Whole Milk Yogurt. A runner-up to Dannon in Consumer Reports' ratings, and a top plain whole milk yogurt in its 2017 test.
365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Plain Whole Milk Yogurt. Also a Consumer Reports runner-up and a 2017 top performer, but it adds pectin.
Oikos Plain Whole Milk Greek Yogurt. Consumer Reports' top plain Greek yogurt in 2017, if you want it thick.
