you either like it or hate it
exactly what i was looking for – creamy, natural, plant-based and delicious. i don’t need my yogurt tastes like “real” yogurt, it’s probiotic and healthy breakfast or snack alternative, it just needs to be tasty and healthy. both criteria are met.
Sour
Tastes nothing like vanilla. The lemon and lime juice in the vanilla is overpowering. I’ll be throwing the rest out, can’t even eat it
Horrible Taste
I was not expecting this to taste that good but it is horrible. It has a weird cheesy taste to it and it is not good at all.
I'd give this 0 stars if I could
I’ve had to convert over to dairy free diet because I’ve become lactose intolerant within the last couple of years. I’ve tried a few dairy free yogurt options, and have really liked a few of them because they just taste that good. Picked a few up from my local Albertson’s because they were on deal, and the ingredients looked alright to me. Opened one, almost wanted to [be sick]. Forced myself to finish it. Thought that maybe that certain container had gone bad, because I actually opened it on that exact same date. So decided to try another flavor the next day. Shortly after I got up from the table, it, along with the other 3 or 4 I picked up from Albertson’s, found themselves in the trash. I’ve never tasted anything worse in my life, and will never, ever, eat this yogurt again. Even if someone offers it to me for free.
Me encanto!
Esta muy bueno, esta claro que es un poco agrio pero pasa.
English Translation: It’s very good, of course it’s a bit sour but it was expected.
Sour and acidic
I tried the original flavor of this yogurt and as other reviews have noted, it’s basically inedible. Maybe it’s the unnecessary addition of lime juice, but this yogurt was so sour and acidic that I could barely eat it – it tasted as though it had spoiled. I tried anyway because I didn’t want to waste my money. Almost immediately after finishing the container I [was sick] (I’m guessing because my empty stomach couldn’t handle the acidity).
Definitely won’t be repurchasing!
Amazing!!
Just tried the blueberry flavor – and loved it! Yes – it does not taste like “regular” yogurt, do not expect that. It is tangy, has a subtle natural sweetness, and the underlying taste of coconut. It does not have the refined sugar or artificial sweetener taste that many people are used to. Very excited to try other flavors soon!
It's okay.
For having no added sugar, it’s not bad, but it does still contain 7g of sugar (original version). There are other dairy free yogurts that contain this same amount (which seems high to me) and taste a lot better. This one is super sour, which makes it somewhat believable as a yogurt, but it verges on being overly sour. The lime really comes through, and even adding things to it makes it taste almost like vinegar. I added apples and granola and it’s doable if you’re good at handling sour things, but it’s not my favorite and I likely won’t purchase again. I’ll finish this tub though.It might be good on something you would add sour cream and lime to, like tacos or a burrito bowl.
Love it!
I gave up all sugar, and this one, being sugar free and sweetener free is perfect. Don’t expect a sweet taste when you try it. It is tart, and has some texture to it from the pili nuts. Excellent for those of us who have made the leap to a sugar free diet. And so healthy for you! I add some berries or pomegranate seeds and chopped walnuts to the vanilla.
This ish is Disgusting
I was looking for a low sugar option so bought this to try. I wasn’t turned off by the texture but one bite and I wanted to gag. I tried adding granola but nothing masked the disgusting flavor of this stuff. It has a salty, slightly vinegar flavor that is revolting. It and the other container I bought went in the garbage. I’m glad I only bought two and if zero stars was a viable option that is what I would have picked.

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.
