What did I eat?!?
I seriously hope mine was spoiled , because it tasted like vinegar, blue cheese & sauerkraut. It was supposed to Strawberry? Disappointed I wasted$$ on this from Whole Foods.
Yuck
I thought mine was rancid also!!! Terrible taste
Revolting
Looked strange for yogurt. Had brown flecks and drippy consistency. I figured maybe that was the way it was supposed to be. It smelled terrible but tried a bite anyway. It was completely disgusting and first reaction was to quickly spit it out back into the container. My husband just laughed at my expression, it was that bad. Sour vinegar is what it was like, perhaps it was rancid. It’s been 5 hours since I tasted it and even after brushing my teeth and having lunch I still can’t get the smell and taste of it out.
Quality control issues
Like other people I got a rancid container. It is spoiled and tastes like it was sitting out in the sun or something. My young daughter tried it first and told me she didn’t like it. I hope she doesn’t get sick. It seems like this is a very recent problem.
Did I get a bad one? Horrible
Vegan for more than 15 years. I love trying new yogurts out of whatever crazy stuff people are making it out of. I just opened a strawberry and it was brown and stinky but not expiring for a month. I took the tiniest taste and it tasted like blue vinegary cheese. I opened the raspberry one and its pink at least but pretty nasty. Im a big proponent of vegan companies but I dont know whats happening here. The first one was definitely bad, the second didnt smell as bad but there is no way Im eating it. My stomach is doing flip flops and Im hoping I dont end up with food poisoning. I looked this up and someone made a review yesterday describing pretty much what I had. I hope for this companies sake that someone was just mishandling it but, thats obviously not great either. I feel like I should call the natural grocers I bought it at and tell them to open one. Wasting my money was the least bad part of this.
Thank goodness we only purchased one
My wife likes to try various dairy free products so she picked up this yogurt and mixed it with granola. Her reaction during her first bite was to immediately spit it out so I just had to try it myself. It would have to be the most revolting yogurt I’ve ever had. I don’t even know the flavor we immediately threw it out after checking if we purchased expired yogurt. I can’t even describe the flavor – runny, salty, vinegary, and sweet, with bits of rancid in there.
It was so revolting I wanted to see if there were reviews online and had a good chuckle reading through the similar experiences others had.
More delicious and cleaner than any other non-dairy yogurt I have tried.
I love dairy products, but avoid them due to what eating dairy does to my health.
Lavva Yogurt is absolutely delicious and tastier than all other non-dairy yogurts I have tried. Great consistency, super clean on the ingredients side. I can’t wait to try the Mango flavor.
And the price is reasonable!
The best non dairy yogurt!
I love the plain the best. I eat it everyday. I love the texture and taste.
Loved it!
This is a great alternative to yogurt. It is hard to find a yogurt that is sugar free. I tried the plain and was surprised by the flavor at first. It wasn’t bad, just not what I was expecting. After that first spoonful I couldn’t get enough. It was very satisfying. I think the first reaction was because it doesn’t taste like normal yogurt. It is much more complex. I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to try the flavors!
Love the Vanilla!
Vanilla Lavva is exactly what I want to eat in the morning – probiotics (and prebiotic!), no added sugar, delicious vanilla bean taste.

The vanilla flavor is really good. I recently cut out all dairy, processed sugar, and gluten due to an autoimmune diagnosis. It only recently occurred to me that I was no longer getting the probiotics I had been consuming for years eating traditional yogurts and many autoimmune disorders are directly related to gut health. Most plant-based yogurts or water-based Kefirs do not contain 50 billion live probiotic cultures. For me this is a win. The taste and texture of the vanilla I like. It has more of a kefir taste than a yogurt taste, which I don’t mind but could see where others would be put off. Protein is usually quite high in yogurt and this is relatively low but again my goal was increased probiotics, non-dairy, and no added sugars. I’m a fan so far. I bought it at Whole Foods and didn’t find it overly expensive.
I just tried this yogurt yesterday and, I wasn’t disappointed. however, I do agree that is a bit pricey
I tried the strawberry, and immediately checked the expiration date because I thought it had spoiled. After reading some of the reviews, I see other people felt the same way. The sour taste is out of control. Totally inedible!!!! I can’t even comment on the texture, which I didn’t notice because the taste was overwhelmingly disturbing. How is this on the market? It’s hidious!! I bought 3 other flavors, but I intend to return them to Whole Foods.
I LOVE THIS YOGURT!!!! The plain is the best. I tried the strawberry and the tanginess (which i love in most cases) overpowered the strawberry flavor. However the plain is awesome. I love tangy yogurt and this hits the nail on the head. Reminds me of a thinner version of skyr in terms of tang. Not sure what one person was talking about as far as grittiness goes, maybe just their particular batch or a flavored variety but the plain and the strawberry had NO grittiness. Completely and lusciously smooth. I am mostly paleo although I consume grains in moderation as a treat but I’m strictly dairy free, organic, and clean ingredient eating as much as possible and Lavva has been one of the only yogurts to hit the mark. In the 16 oz tubs I can justify the purchase because I like it so much. The other yogurt I’ve tried and love is Anita’s but the cost is way too high so I had to stop buying. My favorite old way of eating yogurt was with a dash of honey and that’s what i do to doctor up the plain. I add a touch of honey, some fruit (cherries right now are my fav) and hazelnuts with a pinch of vanilla powder. DELISH!
Tried the raspberry. The texture was fine after dumping some of the liquid out. However, the taste was a bit too salty and too sour for me. I like my yogurt tangy but this was too much. And why put salt in it??
I found this at Whole Foods, and I was so happy to find a new vegan “yoghurt” choice, but then I tasted it. OMG, this is TERRIBLE! It tastes like someone spilled cornmeal and mustard in it. I thought the blueberry that I started with had gone bad, so I tried the strawberry–it was creamier, but nearly as inedible. I passed it around to three other family members, and no one survived. From five years old to fifty, the opinion was unanimously against this product. I honestly cannot imagine how this is considered desirable in any way other than on paper. Reality is a different story entirely.
Thanks for sharing your feedback on this Piley and for giving me a giggle! Cornmeal and mustard? Now that is interesting.
I have recently gained interest in consuming less dairy, and with that, found this dairy alternative yoghurt. While I understand it will never replace traditional yoghurt with dairy, the zest in this yoghurt, from the lime I am assuming, is inedible. I could not even close my mouth when I was chewing, it was just way too sour. It’s such a pity because I didn’t mind the texture, but I won’t be trying this again. I tried the raspberry flavor.
I do appreciate the no sugar as most yogurts, dairy or non-dairy, are loaded with sugar. However, I found the Lavva to be inedible. It has a weird grainy texture and an earthy taste I just couldn’t stomach, even with fruit and nuts added. I threw it away after a couple of bites. It is honestly the WORST non-dairy yogurt I’ve tried since going vegan.
I’ve never tried this yogurt, but it looks delicious! All of the flavors sound amazing, but especially the Pineapple flavor. Yum! Will have to try it!
Sounds and looks so delicious! I’ll have to try this yogurt soon!
No added sugar?! Yogurts, dairy and nondairy are always packed with added sugars so these are amazing!!!
I haven’t seen this one yet. I’ll have to check it out and see if I can find it and give it a try as we’re still on the hunt for one that my oldest loves.
I’m on the hunt for it too!
Our family has tried Lavva recently as well and we love love love it! I agree with the tartness (which is a plus in my book), and the texture is perfectly creamy. At its current price point, it will definitely be in the “treat” category for us, but well worth it for an amazing dairy-free alternative
Thanks for chiming in on this Virginia! I agree on the price – I haven’t found it in my local area yet, But $2 or more for a single dairy-free yogurt always makes me think twice.
