Best Rated Yogurt Products: 6 Top Scores Ranked

Yogurt is one of the easiest aisles to shop well, and one of the easiest to get wrong. Two tubs sitting side by side can look nearly identical on the front label while differing by a wide margin in added sugar, ingredient length, and protein per serving.

This ranking lists six of the highest-scoring yogurt products in our database, ordered from the top score of 96 down to 90. Scores reflect nutrition data and ingredient quality from the product label, weighted for things like added sugar, saturated fat, sodium, protein, and the presence of additives. A high score means a product compares well against others in the same category. It does not mean the product is right for every shopper, every diet, or every health situation.

Use the score as a starting filter, then check the panel for the details that matter to you.

What separates a strong yogurt from an average one:

• Plain beats flavored. Every product in this ranking is plain. Flavored cups commonly carry most of their sugar as added sugar, which is listed on its own line of the Nutrition Facts panel.
• Short ingredient lists. Chobani Greek Yogurt Non-Fat Plain, at 92, lists only cultured pasteurized nonfat milk. That is a NOVA group 1 food; see our NOVA classification guide for how those groups work.
• Protein density. Strained styles such as Greek yogurt and skyr concentrate protein. The Chobani entry shows about 10.7 g protein per 100 g.
• Fat is a preference, not a verdict. Whole milk and non-fat versions both score well here. Choose based on your overall saturated fat intake.
• Sugar context. In plain yogurt, the sugar listed is naturally occurring lactose, not added sugar. The %DV explainer helps you judge how much a serving contributes.

For official definitions of added sugars on the label, see the FDA Nutrition Facts guidance.

How to choose your tub

A quick checklist for the dairy case:

1. Start with plain, then sweeten at home with fruit if you want.
2. Read the ingredient list. Milk and live cultures is the benchmark.
3. Compare added sugars grams, not total sugars.
4. Check protein per serving if satiety is your goal.
5. Pick the fat level that fits the rest of your day.

These six scored well because they keep things simple, not because any single yogurt is right for everyone. Container sizes, cultures, and price vary widely between Costco, Target, and Whole Foods, so compare the panel rather than the front of the tub. Scanning with Osana makes that comparison quick while you are standing in the aisle.
