Millions of people are on the hunt for their holy grail of healthy dairy-free yogurt, and Daiya Coconut Cream Yogurt Alternative is vying for consideration. Daiya’s initial dairy-free yogurt line didn’t quite make the consumer cut, but they’ve completely reformulated for taste and nutrition. They added coconut cream for a better consistency, upped the natural ingredients, and reduced the sugar.
“Consumers are making more mindful choices when it comes to food and we know that sugar reduction is a top priority for them,” said Michael Lynch, Interim CEO at Daiya, in a statement. So they reformulated their yogurt to contain 50 percent less sugar than the average vegan yogurt. Each single-serve contains just 3 to 9 grams of sugars. And they are sweetened solely with cane sugar – no alternative sweeteners added!
Daiya Coconut Cream Yogurt Alternatives Make Nutrition a Priority
We got the chance to try Daiya Duets when they were first released, which combine their coconut cream yogurt with crunchy granola. Those flavors are just a little different than this core line of coconut cream yogurt, but they use the same ingredients and base. And we were were impressed with the pleasing taste and creamy yogurt consistency. We will update with our own rating and review when we try these specific flavors. And you can leave your own rating and review below to help others too!
Plain
This is the lowest sugar, no frills option, and it can be bought in a single-serve cup for a 16-ounce multi-serve tub.
Ingredients: filtered water, coconut cream, pea protein isolate, creamed coconut, potato protein, chicory root extract, cane sugar, vegan natural flavors, potato starch, lactic acid (vegan), rice starch, tricalcium phosphate, tamarind seed gum, locust bean gum, lemon juice concentrate, guar gum, sea salt, vitamin d yeast, l. plantarum, l. casei, vitamin b12. Contains: coconut.*
Nutrition (per 5.3-ounce container): 130 calories, 8g fat, 12g carbs, 1g fiber, 3g sugars (2g added sugars), 6g protein. Fortified with 267mg calcium, 2mcg vitamin D, and 1mcg vitamin B12.
Vanilla Bean
For an added flavor boost, this flavor of Daiya Coconut Cream Yogurt is a bit sweeter than the Plain and it’s whipped with pure vanilla extract. This variety is also available in a 16-ounce multi-serve tub.
Nutrition (per 5.3-ounce container): 170 calories, 7g fat, 21g carbs, 1g fiber, 13g sugars (12g added sugars), 6g protein. Fortified with 266mg calcium, 2mcg vitamin D, and 1mcg vitamin B12.*

Black Cherry

Strawberry
Sweet-tart strawberries are a natural in tangy yogurt, so we have to assume this flavor of Daiya Coconut Cream Yogurt will be popular. But we haven’t tried it yet. Leave a rating and review if you have!

Not edible
Bought 3 flavors, cant eat a spoon of any of them, they smell like chemical play dough full of fruit perfume. Tasted worse
Horrible after taste
I wish I would’ve taken the time to read the ingredients list. Had I read the list, I would have passed on the yogurt due to the chicory root extract alone. That’s probably the main culprit of that horrible after taste.
Best dairy-free yogurt I've tried!
Very thick and creamy, and the flavor is great if you enjoy coconut (which I do). The tang is right on for a yogurt. I love that it’s packed with protein and low in sugar. I don’t mind the fat content, because the protein and fat are super satisfying. I’m not hungry for hours after one of these. So thankful to have found a yogurt that I can digest AND enjoy!
Vanilla Bean Yogurt
Best flavor and texture! I love it!!! Just can’t find it in my area easily right now!😟
I like it!
I love the vanilla bean one in my smoothie or as a snack, haven’t tried other flavours
Best vegan yogurt ever!
All others remind me of dairy products and smell funny…Daiya coconut yogurts are different…soo danm good. Very creamy and absolutely delicious..all of the flavours..although peach n strawberry are a staple…the plain is soooo good and happy about 3g sugar but hardly have them on the shelf:( whoever invented this yogurt put a lot of effort into its perfection…so impressed. Thank you!
These are great
These are my favorite vegan yogurts. The Black Cherry is excellent.
the best vegan yogurt i’ve ever tasted!
i’ve been vegan for a few months now and it was hard to find a good vegan alternative because all the almond ones i tasted sucked and then i found daiya and i was pretty impressed. p.s. i recommend the peach flavor 🙂
Flavourful bites of real wild blueberries
This is my favourite non-dairy yogurt alternative. Love the rich flavours and consistency. Give it a good stir and it’s thick & creamy. The blueberry is my favourite flavour. Plus i can tell that it uses the tiny real wild blueberries, which have more flavour than the large cultivated berries you can buy in stores when in season.
Disgusting
I thought I would try this and I really never take time to review anything. But YUCK. Tastes like playdough. Never again!!!
