Yoghurt alternatives

Trying to eat amore plant-based diet, and trying to take my lactose intolerance seriously, so I need to look into alternatives to my go-to breakfast of Greek yoghurt.

My local shops do have Alpro's plain soya yoghurts, and those little coconut ones (Coconut Company?), but do those 400-500ml pots exist in any other flavour than plain, and/or from any other ingredient than soya? If you know of some, do you know where they're usually sold?

Most larger supermarkets I've been in have a few flavours of Alpro.

Most of them do own brand dairy free too - usually soya I think.

Provamel is another brand - usually see in Holland and Barrett and indie health food stores.

Thanks. I'll go have a look around a larger store - our selection might just be a bit slim as the store isn't that large.

Let me know if you find anything as tasty as Greek yogurt!

Koko is the nicest I've found. It's live, so good for digestion and coconut based. Asfaik without checking, it's soya free. Comes in big pots and I buy it at Tesco.

I like the alpro vanilla one, with added fruit from the freezer. I can’t really taste any difference.

Thanks all. I found a larger selection in a large Tesco. I can say that I loved Coyo (a very thick texture similar to Greek yoghurt), but how much?! [show] - it'll definitely be a treat rather than a staple. Also found Alpro with flavours. I still have the plain soya left in my fridge. I think I'm going to experiment with overnight oats recipes.

The nicest I've found is a vanilla Coconut Colloborative one, sold in big pots in my local Waitrose. Tesco do a plain version, which isn't as good but I still like it better than Koko. It's expensive enough to be an occasional treat though. Tesco oatly creme fraiche is also nice, although obviously not actually a yoghurt and with no live bacteria.
