    Lavva Yogurt Overflows with Dairy-Free, Low Sugar, Probiotic Nutrition

    By Alisa Fleming on February 19, 2020 Dairy-Free Yogurt Reviews, Product Reviews

    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 (Review) - Dairy-free, Vegan, Paleo-Friendly, Whole30-Approved Yogurt with No Sugar Added and 50 Billion Live Probiotics. 5 Flavors - we have the ingredients & more information

    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 family loves Lavva – especially the milk and plain yogurt. We live in the Chicago area and haven’t been able to find any Lavva for a while now.

    I love love love Lavva Yogurt and plant milk. If I could get their other products I would but the stores here in Northern Virginia only carry a few products. They have it in Wegmans, Mom’s, Whole Foods, and Sprouts. Lately (Feb-March 2022), every place has been sold out. I found online via search that they can’t get the coconut water they usually use due to supply chain issues. I truly hope they come back because this is the best non-dairy and sugar free yogurt that I have found.

    There have been reports that it is missing from shelves, but it isn’t discontinued yet. We have reached out to the company to learn more.

    Same thing happened to me- I’ve been eating Lavva original for a few years now- I buy it by the case!
    My last case had some serious green/blue mold growing on the tops- it was pretty yucky! I reached out, sent pictures, but never heard back. I threw them all away.
    I have had 2 cases since and no issues. The same thing has happened to me with Culina- I guess no preservatives? Poor temperature control while traveling? I don’t know- but yuck! Gross and scary- but, I’m still eating it every day- and I love it! But… every time I peel back the clear wrapper…. I’m nervous! ha ha

    Lavva is my favorite non-dairy yogurt on the market today, but earlier this month I found mold growing in it. It was a brand new, previously unopened yogurt that was not past its expiration date. It smelled strongly of mold when I opened it and then I found a mold growth sitting on top of the yogurt. Really unpleasant experience. I submitted a customer complaint to them but never heard back, so, not that impressed right now.

    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!

    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!

      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.

    2. linda on October 30, 2018 4:30 pm

      I just tried this yogurt yesterday and, I wasn’t disappointed. however, I do agree that is a bit pricey

    3. Ana on July 27, 2018 8:53 pm

      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.

    4. Nina on July 26, 2018 8:40 am

      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!

    5. Nora on July 17, 2018 10:42 am

      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??

    6. Piley on July 15, 2018 5:16 pm

      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.

      • Alisa Fleming on July 15, 2018 5:58 pm

        Thanks for sharing your feedback on this Piley and for giving me a giggle! Cornmeal and mustard? Now that is interesting.

    7. Kristin on July 1, 2018 9:36 am

      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.

    8. PJ on May 14, 2018 5:54 pm

      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.

    9. Christine - Jar Of Lemons on March 27, 2018 9:38 am

      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!

    10. Taylor Kiser on March 27, 2018 7:14 am

      Sounds and looks so delicious! I’ll have to try this yogurt soon!

    11. Lorie on March 26, 2018 7:37 pm

      No added sugar?! Yogurts, dairy and nondairy are always packed with added sugars so these are amazing!!!

    12. Sarah on March 26, 2018 5:58 pm

      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.

      • Alisa Fleming on April 11, 2018 4:59 pm

        I’m on the hunt for it too!

    13. Virginia on March 23, 2018 5:56 pm

      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

      • Alisa Fleming on March 23, 2018 7:04 pm

        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.
