Yoghurt is a very healthy food, and you can still get the ‘live cultures’ without the dairy or refined sugar. Sojade are for our money, the best yoghurts you can buy in Europe. You’ll find them in good indie health stores or farm shops, or buy online. These yoghurts are way and above the main brands, made by a small French company that grow organically and even have a solar panel on their roof to power the plant. The company gave up plastic lids a long time ago, so now all the pots are easy to recycle.
The yoghurts are available in plain, but you’ll also find many fruit flavours (in far more varied flavours than the big brands). Try:
- Strawberry
- Raspberry
- Blueberry
- Lemon
- Peach
- Greek-style
Cocos Organic offers a high-coconut content yoghurt, made ethically at the company’s own factory in Kent, free from dairy, soy, gluten and refined sugar. Certified organic and vegan, the range includes natural, vanilla, mixed berry, strawberry and mango passionfruit.
make your own vegan yoghurt
Freshly Fermented vegan yoghurt starter is the result of months of research, it needs a thickening agent but contains live bacteria that ferments on heating. They recommend using a brand yoghurt-making device. One 1g sachet (and 2g of tapioca starch) makes 1 litre of yoghurt.
