Dannon's has plain yogurt with live culture that shouldn't have any sugar in it. I am pretty sure that sugar is not needed to make yogurt.

My husband eats plain yogurt every day with some pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds etc. on top. You can also add a few drops of vanilla extract, or any other flavored extract, to change the taste.

Dannon plain has 12g of sugar. Ive checked a lot of the brands too...all have sugar. Not as an added ingredient, but it is listed on the nutritional label.
i belive because milk naturally contains sugar.

Dannon also makes a vanilla with splenda-if you can eat splenda. Somtimes I get an organic plain yogurt and put cocoa powder(no sugar) in it.

The plain yogurt comes in a larger container. Dr F says no slenda or other chemical sweateners. Our system is already stressed, it doesn't need any more to filter. I get it at Walmart.
You can add berries and vanilla or cinnamon. Dr F says other fruit has too many carbs.
Hope this helps Jack.

That's it. There is a low carb by Blue Bunny with 5 g of sugar, but it also has Splenda.

Does everything just have to taste sweet?? I like plain yogurt with salt and pepper in it...maybe a little chopped cilantro.
Dannon yogurt doesn't have all the good stuff in it. I buy stonyfield farms whole milk plain yogurt, reserve half a cup as a starter, get half a gallon of whole milk to about 90 or no more than 100 degrees, mix in the starter, and some whipping cream if you want sour cream on top.
then I dump the whole mess in a wide mouth thermos and put it on the floorboard of the truck cab all day in the hot sun.
tart and tangy...has all the good bacteria and no fillers sugar and crap...and cheap.
I think we need to work around our preoccupation with having everything taste like candy or popsicles...there are other tastes out there just as good or better.

hey, good, I didn't get griped at for once for suggesting that our collective sweet teeth are a bit over the top.
Look on the label what's in Dannon, then look at Stonyfield.
it says it contains cultured pasteurized organic whole milk, natural dietary fiber, pectin, six live active cultures including l. acidophilus, bifidus, l. casei, and l. reuteri
there's just no comparison.

You are right charlie.
For me before getting so sick, i would eat 4 yougurts a day...i loved the acme brand with fruit of course.
So, its a huge switch to the plain for me atleast... i tried it a few months ago...and it was very sour and tart...
I may try it again with some vanilla atted to it.

cave,
Thanks so much for the Indian lasse recipes. I'll try them both.
I discovered lasses during a month in India and really love them and appreciate the different flavors they use. My particular favorite is a mango lasse, which I'm told is just mango juice and plain yogurt.
It's a very sweet drink, though.
This past weekend, I tried a rose lasse at a restaurant -- made with rose water. It was very delicate and refreshing. I suspect there are endless variations, and I'll try the two you posted. Thanks!

I like to add raspberries or strawberries, a shake of stevia and a handful of pecans or walnuts to plain yogurt. I prefer plain organic stoneyfields farms but will buy any plain organic that is in stock.
I have read something about the yogurt exception in a low carb book. It said (I read this ages ago so don't remember exactly) that the cultures in the yogurt eat some of the natural sugars so that you don't actually get all of the grams of sugar or carbs in it.
Somehow this was why plain yogurt with live cultures was allowed in the low carb diet I was reading about and counted as a different carb count.
I don't eat sugar or splenda but do use stevia and don't worry about the natural sugar in yogurt. I haven't had any problems with eating plain yogurt.
I also use plain yogurt in the place of sour cream in many things.
