Plant-based dairy options are no longer a niche. Across England, more people are choosing yoghurt made from plants, not milk, for reasons that span flavour, health, and ethics. Among the brands leading the way, Sojade stands out. This French maker offers organic soya yoghurts that are smooth, satisfying, and kind to the planet.
Sojade keeps things simple. Good ingredients, careful production, and flavours that feel familiar. If you want a yoghurt that supports your goals, whether that means better digestion, a lower carbon footprint, or less plastic, this is a smart place to start.

What Makes Sojade Yoghurts Special?
Sojade is made in France by a company with deep roots in organic food. The brand focuses on responsible sourcing and low-impact production, with a clear eye on taste and texture. You get a yoghurt that is gentle on the stomach, rich in plant protein, and free from lactose.
The soya beans are grown to organic standards. That means no synthetic pesticides and careful crop management. The company buys beans that do not come from cleared rainforest land. This protects habitats and helps keep deforestation-linked emissions out of the supply chain.
Protein and fat are well balanced. Soya yoghurt offers a steady dose of plant protein, a low saturated fat content, and the lift of live cultures from fermentation. Many people who struggle with dairy find soya yoghurt easier to digest.
Packaging matters too. The brand has moved away from unnecessary plastic, with lids and materials chosen to reduce waste. You will often find Sojade on the shelves of independent health food shops, which support small businesses and bring in thoughtful plant-based products.
Sustainable Production and Ethical Sourcing
- Renewable energy: Sojade yoghurts are produced in a French site that uses on-site renewable power, including solar. Cutting fossil energy use reduces the factory’s carbon footprint.
- Organic soya farming: Certified organic fields rebuild soil health and support biodiversity. The supply chain avoids soya tied to rainforest damage. That means no reliance on deforestation hotspots.
- No dairy in the process: Plant-based yoghurt keeps cows out of the equation. That supports better animal welfare, and it reduces methane emissions linked to conventional dairy herds.
Together, these steps create a smaller footprint from field to spoon.
Health Benefits of Soya Yoghurt
Soya yoghurt is more than a dairy swap. It brings a useful set of nutrients and live cultures.
- Protein: Soya offers all essential amino acids in practical amounts per serving. It keeps you fuller for longer and supports muscle repair after exercise.
- Live cultures: Fermentation adds beneficial bacteria. They can support gut balance and help with digestion, especially if lactose upsets your stomach.
- Low saturated fat: Soya yoghurt is low in saturated fat compared to many dairy yoghurts. A lower saturated fat intake supports heart health when combined with a balanced diet.
- Digestibility: No lactose, no problem. Many people find plant-based yoghurt gentler day to day.
For bone health, pair soya yoghurt with calcium-rich foods. Good partners include fortified plant milks, tahini, almonds, or leafy greens.
Exploring Sojade’s Range of Flavours
Sojade is best known for clean, simple flavours that let the yoghurt shine. You can spoon it straight from the pot, stir it into porridge, or use it in savoury recipes. The range stretches from plain and unsweetened to fruit-led pots for easy breakfasts.
Some retailers also stock thicker, strained styles from plant-based makers. These mimic Greek-style or skyr-like textures if you enjoy a denser spoonful. They pair well with cooking and high-protein snacks.
The brand also extends into broader plant-based foods, such as fermented or cultured dairy alternatives, which sit well beside yoghurt in a plant-first kitchen.
Fruit-Infused Soya Yoghurts for Everyday Enjoyment
Fruit flavours bring variety without fuss. The base stays creamy and mild, while the fruit adds brightness.
- Strawberry: Light and fresh, great for children and quick breakfasts. Try it with sliced banana or a sprinkle of oats.
- Blueberry: Known for antioxidants. Works well with toasted seeds or a swirl of almond butter.
- Raspberry: A vivid, tangy note that cuts through granola. Perfect in overnight oats or a simple parfait.
- Cherry: Deeper and richer, with a dessert-like feel. Lovely with dark chocolate shavings or crushed pistachios.
Serving ideas:
- Spoon over granola for crunch.
- Blend into smoothies with frozen fruit and spinach.
- Use as a dessert topper with stewed apples or poached pears.
- Stir into warm porridge for a silky finish.
Labels are clear and simple. Many fruit pots focus on natural ingredients and a short list you can read in seconds.
Creamy Specialties: Greek and Skyr Styles
If you prefer a thick yoghurt, look for strained, Greek-style or skyr-inspired plant options when available. These styles remove more whey during fermentation or straining. The result is a spoon that holds its shape and feels indulgent.
How to use them:
- Greek-style soya yoghurt makes a great base for dips. Fold in garlic, lemon, and herbs for a dairy-free tzatziki effect.
- Skyr-inspired pots are high in protein, which suits gym-goers and anyone trying to manage hunger between meals.
- Both styles work in baking, from muffins to loaf cakes, adding moisture without extra saturated fat.
Want a thicker texture from plain soya yoghurt? Strain it at home through a clean cloth in the fridge for a few hours. You will get a dense, spreadable result that behaves like labneh.
Health, Environment, Compassion
Moving to non-dairy yoghurt is a simple step with a wide ripple. You support your own health with easy-to-digest protein and live cultures. You cut your carbon footprint compared to dairy and reduce reliance on livestock. You also back a supply chain that protects forests and soils, not just profits.
Sojade brings these benefits together. Organic sourcing, renewable energy at the factory, and packaging that avoids needless plastic show a consistent approach. Buying from independent shops keeps money in local communities and rewards stores that curate high-quality plant-based choices.
Supporting Your Health and Wellbeing
- Lower risk of lactose issues: No lactose, so less discomfort for many people.
- Balanced energy: Protein helps steady appetite, so you are less likely to snack on sugary foods.
- Gut support: Live cultures can help maintain a healthy gut environment.
Simple ways to add it to your day:
- Swap dairy yoghurt for soya yoghurt in breakfast bowls.
- Use it as a creamy dressing base with lemon and mustard.
- Stir into soups just before serving for a silky texture.
- Replace cream in curries to lighten the dish without losing richness.
Protecting the Planet and Animals
- Lower water use: Growing soya for yoghurt tends to use less water than producing dairy yoghurt.
- Fewer emissions: Plant-based production avoids methane from dairy herds and supports a smaller carbon footprint.
- No animal exploitation: A plant-only process means better outcomes for cows and calves.
- Packaging progress: Lids and pots are moving toward lower plastic and better recyclability, which reduces waste.
Each pot is a small vote for biodiversity, cleaner energy, and more responsible food systems.
