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!

What Others Are Saying ...
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.
They ruined the Greek style yogurt
They changed the formula as others have mentioned. It used to be thick and very much in the Greek style. Now it’s thin and runny. The flavor does not taste natural and it leaves a chalky feel on the tongue. Who in QC approved this change? I was told by customer service that it was to add more protein. I think protein could have been added without changing the texture. It’s disgusting.
I was excited to try it and surprise! All I can say is YUK!
I’ve heard good things about this yogurt and was excited to try it. Needless to say I wasted my money because the greek plain one is nasty! It’s like I’m eating chalk and chemicals! I gave it a fair try by adding honey and nuts and nope. Just can’t do it. I’d give it 0 stars if I could.
New recipe is awful
They changed this and the protein yogurt recipes. They used to be wonderful and thick. Now they are soupy and taste like tangy chalk. I used to love it, but wouldn’t recommend it anymore. And if you’re expecting thick greek style yogurt, you’re going to be disappointed.
Wrong consistency
Idk about anyone else but this did not have the thick consistency of Greek yogurt as marketed. It was just regular wet yogurt. I mean, the flavor was tangy like I wanted. I never had the old formula. But if I’m buying a Greek style yogurt I expect it to be Greek style
Best of the bunch
I have tried many plant-based/vegan yogurts and the best of the bunch (notwithstanding soy yogurt which is still the best but is hard to find and often only the sweetened varieties) is Kite Hill: both the plain unsweetened and the unsweetened plain Greek style. I don’t prefer yogurt presweetened, so both of these have a nice tang. The initial flavor is a little off-putting (thus I subtracted a star) but both are creamy with a nice yogurt-y finish. The original Kite Hill is now creamier with a much better consistency. The Greek style is like Fage—nice and thick, very tangy and preloaded with soy protein. Both have zero added sugar and the original is low sodium. I really like both of these!
leave out the mystery starch
too starchy…get rid of all starches
Tastes like paste
I was hopeful but it was disappointing. It tastes like paste to me.
The New Formula taste like mold!
I used to love the old Greek Style yogurt, it was actually my favorite. I bought the new formula without even noticing and I tried it with some somewhat old granola I had in my pantry. The second I tried it I had to spit everything out because it tasted like mold but I thought it was the granola so I threw it all out. (rip granola 😢) I went to try the yogurt again the next day and turned out it was the yogurt that tasted moldy. It’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tasted! Who at headquarters tastes and approves the final product and wth is going on with their taste buds?! I literally thought I had just gotten a bad container until I read other reviews. Anyway I’m sad that my favorite yogurt was ruined, it’s such a travesty.
"New formula" is terrible
Just spent $40 on plain and vanilla because I really used to like this stuff. Didn’t notice the “New Formula” notice on the label. They took out the pectin, locust bean gum, and agar thickeners (so now you have to stir it because it separates) and they added “Soy Protein Isolate” as the second ingredient instead (to give it that wonderful chalky/powdery taste) so that they don’t have to concentraye the almond milk for the rich, thick protein boost of Greek yogurt. I want my money back.
