12 Yogurt Brands That Use Real Fruit

Yogurt can be a powerhouse for your health, providing your daily dose of vital protein, calcium, and probiotics that help keep your gut (and, by extension, your mood and immune system) in top shape. But not all yogurts are the same, despite what catchy jingles and suave marketing ads may try to sell you. Think about the last time you were at the grocery store. Chances are, you were a little overwhelmed, yes? So many choices. Honestly, these days, standing in front of the yogurt section can feel like trying to decode a secret language. And it kinda is.

Labels shout "natural," "light," or "fruit on the bottom," but too often those colorful cartons hide artificial sweeteners, thickeners, and enough added sugar to rival dessert. Clearly, something is getting lost in translation. So, instead of grabbing what looks like a wholesome choice, only to realize later that it's packed with a ton of extra ingredients (most of which you can't even pronounce), we want to empower you to always know you are reaching for a winner. And while there are guides on plain yogurts, taste-tested and ranked from best to worst, what about those wanting real fruit yogurt options?

We went digging for you to spotlight the yogurts that keep things simple and actually live up to their promise of using real fruit and real ingredients. In other words, every yogurt featured here uses only real fruit. No exceptions. Consider this your cheat sheet to a smarter, simpler spoonful.

Siggi's

If Thor himself needed a breakfast before heading out to swing his mighty hammer, chances are he just might reach for a pot of Siggi's. Born from Icelandic tradition and one man's homesickness, founder Siggi Hilmarsson started making skyr in his tiny New York apartment after realizing American yogurts were far too sweet and artificial for his taste. Armed with a recipe from his mom, he began crafting the thick, tangy skyr he missed from Iceland, using simple ingredients and not a lot of sugar.

Skyr isn't your average yogurt. This dairy product has been an Icelandic staple for centuries. It is made by straining skim milk until it's luxuriously thick and packed with protein in quite a concentrated punch. To give you an idea, it takes about four cups of milk to make just one cup of skyr, which is exactly what explains Siggi's famously dense and creamy texture that customers seem to go crazy over.

Siggi's Fruit Skyr varieties, like the strawberry flavor, keep to that old-world simplicity. This yogurt contains just cultured pasteurized skim milk, strawberries, cane sugar, and fruit pectin. In general, the brand's fruity yogurts are made with the basic building blocks of milk, real fruit puree, and a touch of cane sugar or agave for natural sweetness. You can rely on no artificial flavors or sweeteners, preservatives, or fruity illusions with this Norse brand. This yogurt is made up of just honest ingredients that let the fruit speak for itself.

Fage Total

While some Greek yogurts in the grocery store may not be as Greek as you think, Fage actually hails from Greece. If Greek yogurt had its own Mount Olympus, then Fage would most certainly be sitting right on the throne, à la Zeus. Born in 1926 in a humble Athens dairy shop opened by the Filippou family, Fage (pronounced fa-yeh, meaning "to eat" in Greek) quickly became a household name in Greece. 

The yogurt is beloved for its rich and uniquely creamy texture that one could imagine making even the gods swoon. This includes its real-fruit varieties, which blend real luscious fruit purée and a touch of cane sugar, meaning there are no artificial sweeteners, no thickeners, no stabilizers (and certainly no myths) about what's inside.

Having won over the local market by the 1950s, Fage crossed the Atlantic in the 1990s. The U.S. was officially smitten (we still are). The brand brought not only delicious yogurt, but represented along with it a slower, simpler way of eating that celebrates purity and balance. Crafted through an authentic straining process, Fage's Greek yogurt isn't thickened by shortcuts or additives. It's naturally creamy because it's naturally made. Today, whether you're reaching for Fage's plain or fruit yogurt, you'll find that same devotion to simplicity.  

Brown Cow

Made with non-homogenized milk, Brown Cow lets nature do its thing, so the cream naturally rises to the top. This cream top has become synonymous with customers as being divinely decadent, resulting in an extremely passionate cult following. Don't believe the hype? Give it a stir, and chances are you'll agree that it is among the richest, silkiest yogurts this side of the barnyard.

Not a fan of plain yogurt, even if it is made with whole milk? Not a problem. The strawberry variety of Brown Cow's cream top yogurt is made with whole milk, cane sugar, real strawberries, and honey and maple syrup as natural sweeteners. The result is lush, creamy, and rich enough to feel like a treat (dare we say bordering on dessert). Each spoonful gives you that real fruit flavor that ups the ante from the plain-flavored affairs. You could say this brand takes "back to basics" seriously, with no emulsifiers, stabilizers, or thickeners. You will just find real dairy goodness from cows treated right, and real fruit that tastes like it came straight from the orchard.

Noosa

Created by Australian expats in Colorado, Noosa – which is the name of an actual town in Queensland — is a brand that specializes in whole milk yogurt, blending its Aussie inspiration with Rocky Mountain milk for an irresistibly smooth spoonful. Each tub of Noosa is sweetened with wildflower honey and purée made from real fruit. For example, the strawberry variety is swirled with a purée that contains the likes of real strawberries, lemon juice, a gentle touch of cane sugar. The result is a luscious, dessert-like texture that somehow manages to feel both indulgent and wholesome at the same time.

Because Noosa uses whole milk, it's packed with nutrients such as calcium, protein, and healthy fats. Even beyond the health talk, Noosa is simply a joy in a jar. It's thick without the tang of Greek yogurt that some are not fans of, creamy without compromise, and so delicious that some people eat it daily, almost making one want to hoard it from grocery shelves just to ensure they will always have their fix. (Other people, not us, of course...)

Icelandic Provisions

Inspired by Iceland's enigmatic spirit, Icelandic Provisions makes skyr the old-fashioned way and bills itself as the only brand making skyr in North America with an original Icelandic recipe. This means consumers won't be fed any artificial sweeteners, colors, preservatives, or gimmicks. What consumers can expect instead is a delicious mix containing the likes of milk, fruit, and a touch of cane sugar or fruit and vegetable juice concentrate to balance the tang.

Icelandic Provisions also offers flavors featuring unique ingredients, such as lingonberry. The taste is also not syrupy, which makes sense since the sweetness comes from real fruit, not engineered, saccharin-laced science. Each spoonful delivers a satisfying density that keeps you full longer than typical yogurts, with a protein boost fit for the needs of an avid Arctic explorer.

The brand's food philosophy is based on core fundamentals: simple, straightforward ingredients that create an authentic Icelandic experience. This is yogurt for people who expect substance and performance, not flash, yet still crave good taste. Fans rave about it online, so if you're looking for a new flavor-packed yogurt to slip into your daily routine, Icelandic Provisions might be your spirit skyr.

Nancy's

Meet Nancy's, a family-owned, organic yogurt brand based in Eugene, Oregon, that believes that good food should nourish both the body and soul. Its organic yogurt pouches are the ultimate parenting hack, featuring portable (and at least more spill-proof than most) handheld packets of smooth and creamy goodness packed with probiotics, real fruit, and even a few hidden veggies. Take the Nancy's Blueberry Spinach Organic Whole Milk Yogurt Pouches, for instance. Kids think they're simply slurping a sweet treat, but parents know their bambinos are actually also getting nutrient-rich spinach purée, blueberry purée, and live yogurt cultures that support digestion and immunity.

Despite this sneaky slipping in of veggies, Nancy's is all about keeping things real. Case in point: The real fruit purée and organic sugar in its strawberry-banana flavor provide a natural sweetness without overdoing it. Plus, these pouches fit perfectly between soccer practice and piano lessons, keeping energy up and minimizing the odds of hangry, mid-afternoon temper tantrums (the kids', not yours). More praise? It's delicious enough that even the adults sneak a pouch now and then. No artificial sweeteners, no preservatives, not even a spoon required. You just grab, squeeze, and go. Suck it, spoon yogurts.

Forager Project

If you've ever dreamed of a world where dairy is reinvented without losing its soul, Forager Project has already built it. This family-made brand is rooted in one word: "forage," which means to seek nourishment from the earth itself. And that rings true to the fundamentals of the brand founded by Stephen Williamson and his family.

What you need to know before eating plant-based yogurt is that some simply do not measure up when it comes to the health benefits provided. Luckily, this brand proudly boasts nutrition by the spoonful. Forager Project Organic Strawberry Dairy-Free Yogurt blends cashews and coconut cream into a silky base with real organic strawberries, plus a bit of cane sugar for balance. Fermentation isn't an afterthought here, either, but an integral part of the process from the very beginning. The live cultures work in harmony, creating a tangy, well-rounded flavor that feels alive, not manufactured.

Each bite reminds you that "plant-based" doesn't have to mean giving up indulgence. From soil to spoon, Forager Project is out to convince the world, one spoonful at a time, that great food doesn't have to come from a cow. It can come from curiosity, craftsmanship, and a coconut or two.

Liberté Méditerranée

While we may have had those unfortunate moments of purchasing grocery store European-style yogurt that's a total miss, rest assured that this next entry is a big hit. Say bonjour to Liberté Méditerranée, a luxurious yogurt that was inspired by the Statue of Liberty (yes, really), and combines the elegance of French tradition with proud Canadian craftsmanship. Talk about a multi-cultural dairy treat.

Made in Canada with local Canadian milk, each cup of Liberté Méditerranée yogurt is free of gelatin. Its fruity varieties rely on the addition of real fruit for flavor, with customers claiming that its products boast a texture so rich it's more like silk than yogurt. For example, the strawberry flavor features real fruit, cane sugar, and fruit pectin for that perfect balance of sweet and tart. Meanwhile, the mango variety lists mango purée and pieces in its ingredients, as well as a dash of pumpkin juice for extra color.

Liberté Méditerranée is yogurt for those who appreciate simplicity dressed in style. It's artisanal, authentic, and yes, a little fancy. Eating it feels like a mini vacation to a sun-drenched Mediterranean cafe, spoon in one hand, joie de vivre in the other.

Chobani

We all have our preferred picks of the tastiest way to sweeten plain Greek yogurt, but what if we told you that you can have your Greek yogurt and real fruit, too? Enter Chobani. The brand started with a vision of crafting real yogurt with wholesome ingredients and no artificial preservatives. Fast-forward to today, and business is booming. Think billion-dollar investments in new facilities and an innovative product line.

While Chobani offers several lines of yogurt, each of its fruity varieties prioritizes real fruit. For example, each tub of Chobani Greek Yogurt Mixed Berry variety contains a purée made with a blend of real strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, plus fruit pectin and natural flavors. That means every spoonful offers both a fruity edge and creamy satisfaction, plus 10% of your daily calcium. If your priority is cutting down on sugar, the Chobani Less Sugar range also packs real fruit — such as peach or raspberry — into each tub while incorporating less added sugar.

In addition to increasing the protein content of each tub to help you feel full for longer, the Chobani High Protein line also uses real fruit. The brand prides itself on never having lost sight of its roots, relying on real food made by real people (and we, real people, are eating it up).

Green Valley

For those who love yogurt but can't consume lactose, Green Valley is your dairy dream come true. Crafted in California, this yogurt shows that sensitivity to lactose doesn't have to mean sacrifice. For example, the Green Valley Lactose-Free Organic Strawberry Yogurt is smooth, balanced, and blissfully easy on the stomach while also containing real fruit.

Each cup starts with organic, pasteurized low-fat milk, carefully cultured and blended with real organic strawberries, not the artificial stuff. Meanwhile, pectin gives it that luscious, spoon-coating creaminess, and lactase enzyme makes it gentle on stomachs sensitive to lactose. The result is a naturally complex, fruity flavor that balances the gentle tartness of yogurt cultures. Made with live and active cultures, this yogurt supports a healthy gut. Green Valley's products in general are also minimally processed and FODMAP Friendly certified. Green Valley's approach is simple: make dairy that everyone can enjoy, crafted with care and compassion. Nailed it.

Too Good & Co.

When most yogurts are obsessed with über-sweetness, Too Good & Co. is the quiet minimalist brand making waves on the yogurt aisle. The mission is simple: Create yogurt that's truly good, meaning low in sugar, high in quality, and made with real fruit purée instead of artificial sweeteners.

For example, each cup of Too Good & Co. Blended Mixed Berry Yogurt contains just about 2 grams of total sugar per 5.3 ounces. That's not a typo. Tasting almost "too good" to be true, it's yogurt that feels indulgent without taking a huge chunk out of your daily recommended sugar intake. The secret lies in the brand's ultra-filtered milk, which naturally reduces a lot of its sugar. Add in real blueberry, strawberry, and raspberry purée, and you get a light, tangy yogurt that tastes wholesome, not chemical.

A welcome outlier in the world of trends and "zero sugar" buzzwords, Too Good & Co. is the rare brand that quietly does it right, naturally. There is no aspartame, sucralose, or erythritol, just smooth yogurt made from simple ingredients and a touch of innovation.

La Fermière

We all have our little secrets for turning everyday yogurt into a gourmet treat, but what if all along, all it took was giving yogurt a French twist? Ooh là là — this one's for the romantics. Born in the sun-drenched hills of Provence, La Fermière brings French savoir-faire to American dairy aisles, complete with a nod to its iconic terracotta and glass pots. One look and you know this yogurt will be an "udderly" French experience.

Crafted with whole milk and cream sourced from local dairies in New York and California, La Fermière's fruit-on-the-bottom varieties are the very definition of artisanal dairy desserts. The fruit layer features real fruit and cane sugar, with no artificial flavors or colors, gelatin, corn syrup, or added preservatives. Each spoonful is creamy, rich, and just the right amount of sweet. From Provence to your fridge, La Fermière turns every bite into a sensory escape, à la sunshine, cream, and fruit harmonizing in perfect French rhythm. Simply put, c'est magnifique!
