Abby – my youngest daughter – has a knack for creating fun and simple recipes, like this 3-ingredient homemade vanilla yogurt. She’s been experimenting with stevia in search of creative ways to craft something sweet without adding sugar.
We all really love Stonyfield Vanilla Organic Yogurt, but I only buy it occasionally because of the sugar content. So Abby started experimenting. The other day, she came to me and said, “Mom, this yogurt I mixed up tastes just like the Stonyfield Vanilla yogurt we like!” Honestly, I was a bit skeptical – but she was right! This three-ingredient take on their vanilla yogurt tastes just like the real thing.
It’s simply a mixture of whole, plain yogurt, liquid stevia and vanilla extract. How easy is that?

Well done Abby! I enjoy the same with greek yogurt and a scant 1/2 tsp of honey or maple syrup instead of the stevia, I’m not a fan of the aftertaste of sugar substitutes. I know my version isn’t sugar free but it has a lot less sugar than the sweetened store bought brands.
PS – I’ve been making a lot of your Mango Lassi smoothie and turning it into popsicles. Hubs has a horrible sweet tooth and this small amount of frozen smoothie hits the mark. Thanks!
Yum!!! Way to go Abby!!!!
Great recipe! Love when my daughter gets in the kitchen too. 🙂
I was just reading up on healthy fats, and best low-carb yogurts and thought…. Why can’t I just get plain whole milk yogurt, and add stevia and vanilla extract? BOOM. Found your post. So glad to hear you guys tried this and especially the result! Stonyfield Vanilla has always been our favorite as well, but I took the same issues with it… TOO MUCH SUGAR!! Your daughter is a genius, and I will be trying this ASAP! I am also going to try my hand at my own fruit version……
I just started Keto, which is very low-carb (<30g net carbs per day), but raspberries have a naturally LOW net-carb count due to their high levels of fiber. I'm going to mash them up, add a little stevia, and add them to this recipe to see how it tastes!
The addition of raspberries sounds perfect! 🙂
