So Delicious Soy Yogurt vs Pepsi
I was excited to hear that So Delicious (parent company Turtle Mountain) was introducing soy yogurt, because their soy ice cream is fantastic. I bought my first 6-oz container last night. Review follows:
Bad news first: I was dismayed to see that there are 24 grams of sugar in one 6-oz container of vanilla So Delicious Soy Yogurt. Ounce-for-ounce, that’s 20% MORE sugar than in the same amount of Coke or Pepsi.
Now the good news: if you are a recent convert to soy milk and soy yogurt, and you’re missing a “true dairy” mouthfeel and flavor, So Delicious delivers. The texture looks a bit lumpy on the spoon, but once in your mouth, it feels rich, creamy, and has fresh dairy undertones — one might even say buttery. I don’t know how they do it, but the inulin, pectin, carob bean gum, seaweed gums (carrageenan), and unspecified natural flavors must help.
Congratulations Soy Delicious, and thank you for making these certified Vegan. Now can you do it with a bit less sugar?
To be fair, most other brands have a lot of sugar too. (But not as much as So Delicious.) That’s why I make my own…

Are you serious? That’s super cool! Thanks for the info, I’ll be sure to check it out. I love their raspberry soy ice cream — I like putting it into my smoothie creations
