There is huge variation in the nutritional quality of yoghurt alternatives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Soy. Without fortification soy is the most nutritious. Some brands are better than others. Many have a significant amount of added sugar. Check the nutrition information to choose one with the least sugar per 100g. Unlike dairy yoghurt where some/all of the ‘sugars’ are the naturally occurring milk sugar lactose, the ‘sugars’ in soy yogurts are all added. The ingredients list will tell you what sugar is added. Some but not all are calcium fortified, this is preferable where possible.

➡️ Almond. Similar to almond milk, almond milk yoghurt does not have a strong nutritional profile unless it is fortified. The low protein may also mean it doesn’t fill you up for long.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Coconut. As above with almond yoghurt. In addition, coconut yoghurt is high in saturated fat. It has been shown that the saturated fat from coconut is not as detrimental as that from animal products however if you like it then it should be eaten in moderation.
