We recently updated our Kite Hill Almond Milk Yogurt post, and I realized that we didn’t have one up for their Greek-Style yogurt. It’s a very similar product, but Kite Hill Greek Style Yogurt boasts a richer consistency, higher fiber, and even more protein. It also comes in two unsweetened varieties for yogurt lovers who are shunning both dairy and sugar.
Kite Hill Greek Style Yogurt was launched near the end of 2017, and still hasn’t gained huge distribution. But you can find it at many natural food stores in the U.S.
Kite Hill Greek Style Yogurt is in the Thick of Dairy-Free Alternatives
Kite Hill’s Greek Style Yogurt is similar to their Classic Almond Yogurt line, but it’s free of xanthan gum, and contains tapioca starch and pectin for extra thickening power. Even though it’s higher in protein, but lower in fat, it doesn’t seem to contain any added protein. If you’ve tried this product, leave your rating and review below!

Horrible tasting yogurt
This has to be the worst dairy free yogurt I have ever tasted. I tried honey in it and it didn’t help a bit. Will not buy again nor recommend to others.
DO NOT BUY Kite Hill Greek Style Yogurt
I basically just made a donation to Kite Hill when I purchased this because it is inedible. Holy Cow- it tastes pasty as the other reviewers commented and was weirdly sour. Surely Kite Hill has testers before putting this on the market? If they do and those testers approved this, then they should be fired. I really wish I could get my money back.
Needs a lot of help to be palatable...
Holy mackerel, does this stuff taste awful on its own!!! The nutrients are just too good though. If you HEAVILY flavor it, it’s not too bad. I made a dip for some “chicken” nuggets with half yogurt, half Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Sauce and that was actually delicious!!!
So sour- this can’t be right
Omg I don’t understand how they can sell this, it’s insanely bad
So sour!
Awful! I understand that Greek yogurt is tangy, but this is a horrific combination of sour and chalky. Not edible!
Awful
I thought I had a bad container until I read other reviews. Tastes like something that has gone bad. I cannot get this awful taste out of my mouth. YUCK
So bad, so bitter
I was excited about the protein count and lower fat count, but the taste so sooo bitter. Not even sour, just bitter. I added a bunch of cinnamon maple syrup and fruit to make it edible.
The best non-dairy yogurt
I love to make tzatziki and this was the best that is available in my area. The other brands were watery and did not hold up in the recipes I use. Kite was thick and stayed thick in preparation. Very pleased with it.
Cream of the Crop: Kite Hill Greek Style Plant Based Yogurt
I buy the vanilla unsweetened Kite Hill Greek Style. I’ve been using this product for about a year after I realized that most plant-based yogurts have very little protein. I’m older and workout so I specifically look for yogurt with high protein per serving. This has 17g per serving. The taste was aquired and I love it. I use it in multiple ways, with my morning steel cut oats, with my cut up fruit, and straight out of the container. Zero sugar is another plus and very important to me. I switched for awhile to another brand and hurried up and came back to Kite Hill Greek Style. Nothing else was as good or worth the money or space if my refrigerator. Kite Hill works with my GI tract and the added expense is justified because of the high protein content and zero sugar.
Very thick, too sour
They must have fixed the formula, because it’s very thick now. In terms of the Greek yogurt texture, I think it’s got the right thickness and is pretty creamy. My husband thought it wasn’t bad, but a little pasty. He was okay with the taste, but I found it extremely sour. We only tried the unsweetened plain, so the sweetened ones might be mellower.
