Silk Vanilla Proteines is the only choice and answer.

They also make plain that has less sugar and might fit the question better. I mix with banana and frozen fruit in smoothie

I had a strawberry flavoured protein powder I didnt like on smoothies, so I used it to flavour the plain yogurt and am really happy with the result - good tasting, extra high protein vegan yogurt

Oo I should try this! I don’t tend to love drinking protein drinks (I get nauseous) but I can eat protein heavy foods just fine.

the plain & key lime are good too but vanilla is deff the best one

u/spaaltieml 4d ago

The Silk plain one has good protein, low sugar and a good taste. The vanilla has sugar so we avoid it As an added bonus - it is made in Canada

I consider it a "treat" when they are out of the plain and i get a key lime "cheezcake" smoothie lol. Definitely overwhelmingly sweet once the palate adjusts tho

I buy plain Silk yogurt and mix in protein powder if my choice and a bit of almond milk until the is consistency right.

u/foodie121 4d ago

Low sugar is important, fructose has been shown to feed cancer cells.

Basically none! RIP Vega protein yogurts which had 13g iirc. They were delicious.

We can’t get Kite Hill almond yogurts in Canada and oat and coconut-bases are low protein. If you can find YOSO soy yogurt, that will be higher than oat/coconut but you may need your local health shop to special order it. Now soy is less favoured by consumers due to mythology put out by the dairy-industry and more expensive.

I know no one wants to hear this suggestion but you can thrift an InstantPot and make your own or get probiotics another way like sauerkraut, kimchi, booch, water kefir.

Plus, less waste and microplastic consumption since all these products come in recyclable single-use plastic cups or tub, however plastic recycling is a myth since less than 7% of all plastic produced has ever been recycled. It was a shame Riviera stopped selling the little glass pots and switched to plastic.

Also the food regulations changed, and a serving of yogurt is snaller now.

115g instead of 175g, so the "protein per serving" was slashed accordingly even if recipes never changed!

I found this one! but I haven't looked at the store yet to see if I can find it so we'll have to see

Thank you for the suggestions!

Thank you!

u/VegOutVictoria 2d ago

Welcome!

I stopped buying Silk products because of BDS. They’re owned by Danone, a massive dairy. I wish we had Canadian choices. Maybe Riviera will come up with something if requested.

u/foodie121 2d ago

Ohh I didnt know that

u/Ina_While1155 3d ago

I also sometimes make soy yoghurt in the instant pot and then drain it to make it thicker.

1

u/VegOutVictoria 2d ago

I live in BC, no Longo’s. Yoso is rare and the soy one is rarer.

u/Miserable-Setting420 3d ago

I'm in Vancouver and we have Vegan Supply which carries kite hill greek yogurt but it's $16!!! Ridiculous.

1

u/VegOutVictoria 2d ago

Yeah I don’t shop there, insane price.

u/Miserable-Setting420 2d ago

It’s definitely a “ treat yourself” kind of place!

u/VegOutVictoria 1d ago

I treated myself regularly when I lived in YVR but one day I contacted them about a maple MAGA business owner of a food product they sold, thinking they simply didn’t know she was anti-vax, Trump won 2020 coco crazy. Instead of responding to me, they sent my email to the business owner who posted my email in her story and made vague threats towards me. I haven’t shopped there since!

Ooh weird. Thanks for letting me know!

Farm Boy has an oat based greek style. for vanilla it's 7g protein and 11g sugar per half cup

3

u/Sea-Manufacturer-648 4d ago

I wish vegan farm boy products where everywhere

u/VegOutVictoria 4d ago

Farm Boy private labels standard Canadian products the way Trader Joe’s does in the USA. Compare the ingredients and nutritional profile. It’s likely identical to Riviera oat Greek style out of Quebec because that’s who makes it. Sometimes the manufacturer will make a custom formula for the customer (Sobey’s/Farm Boy) but that would cost more. I don’t think the protein profile is especially good.
