Trying to find a yoghurt alternative for your toddler that’s plant-based? My daughter has cow milk protein allergy so the quest for a yummy alternative was a must. The good thing is that there are so many options available in the supermarkets. Here are a six yoghurts that we’ve tried. I’ve asterisked our absolute faves.
Please note that I’m not an expert. This post is solely based on my own experience. Do check the labels to ensure that the products are suitable for what you wish to give your little one.
Here are six dairy-free alternative yoghurts for you to check out:

Pros
- This yoghurt is super handy for when you’re on the go. It’s in the very familiar pouch format and also from a reputable brand. We have enjoyed Ella’s Kitchen products. If you’re starting out on your weaning journey, I do recommend ordering their free weaning chart as a great way to get into the swing of things.
- It’s 100% organic dairy free packed full of bananas, apples and coconut milk.
- You can find it pretty much everywhere. It is in the usual baby food aisles across supermarkets like Sainsbury’s, Tescos as well as Boots for example.
Cons
- At just over £1 per pouch, it’s pretty expensive if that’s the only thing you can give your toddler with a dairy intolerance.
2. Petit Filous – Dairy Free Raspberry Yoghurt*

Pros
- Priced at around £2 for a pack of four, this is a more affordable option at around 50p per yoghurt pot.
- Naturally sourced ingredients, dairy free and a great source of vitamin C and D.
- You can find it pretty much in most large supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s, Tescos, Waitrose etc.
Cons
- It isn’t the most portable thing like a pouch can be but this is a very minor hindrance for most mums.
- Although it’s found in most places, I have noticed that it disappears from time to time from the shelves, so online shopping is usually the best to ensure you can always get it.
3. The Collective – Dairy Free Peach & Apricot Suckie

Pros
- Another pouch so it’s easy for on-the-go.
- A reputable brand which lots of mums do talk about and hurrah there are now dairy free options to choose from too.
- There’s a variety of flavours including banana, strawberry and peach and apricot.
- At around 70p per pouch it’s not as expensive as other pouch options.
Cons
- It’s not always that easy to find, especially in all of the flavours. I’ve seen that Waitrose often stock it though.
4. Coconut Collaborative – Dairy Free Yoghurt*

Pros
- They have a kids range which is super exciting. This includes both pouch and yoghurt pot options.
- There is some variety in flavour with apricot flavour in the yoghurt pots or strawberry and banana flavour for the pouches
- Price is okay too with the pouches at around 85p each and the yoghurt pots at £3 so 75p per yoghurt pot.
- They are fortified with Calcium, Vitamin D and Vitamin B12.
Cons
- I came across these by chance in Sainsbury’s so I’m not sure how easily stocked they are at all supermarkets.
5. Actimel Dairy Free Yoghurt Shots*

Pros
- I like how these are ‘shots’ which my little one loves to drink from with a straw
- There are a few flavours, you can choose from mango and passionfruit or blueberry
- With based of roasted almonds and oats, these shots are packed with cultures, and also vitamins B6 and D for immune support.
- At around £3.45 for a pack of 6, they work out at 58p per yoghurt shot
Cons
- Only available in the adult version, hopefully a version will come out in their kids range.
- They go very fast and as they are more liquid like a drink than a thicker yoghurt, one just doesn’t seem to satisfy my little one like a pot of yoghurt would.

Pros
- They have a range of flavours in these to choose from including strawberry, raspberry, peach and passionfruit as well as coconut and lemon.
- Around £1.29 for a pack of two so 65p per yoghurt pot.
Cons
- The large pots are far more easier to find than these smaller twin packs.
- They are intended for adults than children so the quantities may be too much in one pot.
- The twin packs are found in a select number of supermarkets. They cite on their website that you can find it in supermarkets such as Asda or Waitrose.
What other dairy-free yoghurts have you tried? One thing I’d say is I’m not a big fan of soya-based yoghurts hence why the majority of these are either almond or coconut…
