I have a gut feeling that Lavva Yogurt is exactly what many of you have been looking for. It’s a unique dairy-free blend that has absolutely no added sugars, contains natural prebiotics, and packs in 50 billion live probiotics per serving.
Lavva Yogurt Overflows with Dairy-Free, Low Sugar, Probiotic Nutrition
Lavva Yogurt comes in several flavors, and is made with a base of coconut, pili nuts, and plantains. Coconut provides the creamy finish, plantains offer body and prebiotics, and the pili nuts add richness, minerals, and amino acids. Thanks to this magical combination, Lavva Yogurt is free of carrageenan and gums. It’s also made without any artificial additives, flavors, or colors. Consequently, it suits vegan, paleo, and Whole30 diets.
The vegan probiotic cultures used in Lavva Yogurt are L. Plantarum, S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidobacterium Ssp. (B. Bifidum), L. Rhamnosus, and L. Delbrueckii.

My Favorite
Does one know why WF’s stopped carrying the yogurt? They do still have the milk.
I have had to travel an hour each way to get it… no big deal for something I love- and eat every morning.
I have asked at both WF’s in my city and they have no answers…
Alisa- have you heard anything- or can you find out for us crazy Lavva fans? Has anyone heard anything? Have a great evening!
Response from Go Dairy Free
It is still sold via Whole Foods, but as of May 15, 2021, you will only find it in two Whole Foods regions: Southern Pacific (AZ, SoCal, Southern NV, HI) and Northeast (CT, NJ, NY). Their plant milk is still sold in all regions.
If you are in those regions and not seeing it, it could be temporary supply chain issues. I hope you’re able to find it! They do sell it at Sprouts stores nationwide, and they’ve been working on opening an online store (to ship yogurt direct to customers in the U.S.).
Amazing!
Just purchased the Strawberry and the Mango, I had the Mango today with some raspberries and blackberries! It was delicious! Can’t wait to try the Strawberry.
The best healthy and delicious yogurt I ever had
The best yogurt I had, so creamy and healthy, unfortunately whole foods stop selling it, I traveled 50 miles to buy it because it’s sooo good!
Vanilla Pili Nut
No added sugar! I thought the Vanilla Pili Nut from Sprouts was delicious. I will buy it again.
Mango flavor rocks
I tried a couple other flavors and this was my absolute favorite. I’m really into the salutary benefits of prebiotic and this is an excellent way to get them veganwise.
Smooth, Refreshing & Tasty
Lavva is definitely at the top of my list for non-dairy yogurts. Being vegan for 5 years now, I’ve been excited to try a variety of brands hitting the shelves. Lavva’s texture is perfectly balanced where you have a rich mouthful in every bite (not watery like some other brands), balanced with a light natural blueberry taste. Highly recommend trying! My only suggestion would be to see how you can get your protein content up to match that of Siggi’s plant-based yogurt 🙂
Hideous
Absolutely awful. Tastes like sauerkraut. I had to throw it out – something I never do. I’m not a fan of super-sweet yogurt, but this stuff…YUCK!
Awful
Took two spoonfuls of the raspberry flavor and had to throw it out. Thought I could tough it out and eat the rest but it was really terrible. Glad I only bought two of them.
Best Plant Based Yogurt Ever!
This is the best tasting plant based yogurt ever made! No sugar & all natural ingredients. This product contains No artificial sweeteners or natural flavors which are not good for you ingredients. Thank you Laava for a great tasting & clean yogurt. It is amazing to me how a great tasting yogurt can be made without sugar, bad ingredients & no almonds or cashews. Thank you for not compromising your yogurts with bad ingredients. Love this yogurt!
Addicted
The ingredients and the taste of this yogurt, in particular the raspberry & plain, that sets Lavva as the gold standard of plant based food. I find the raspberry & plain flavors spectacularly phenomenal. The other flavors are okay… However, avoid the blueberry altogether – the color alone looks rather unappetizing & the taste is so so. But Alisa is right, this is exactly what I was looking for.

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.
