If you use stevia, start with just a little and taste as you add more. The amount you need depends on your brand and type of sweetener, which can vary on potency.The unsweetened vegan yogurt can be made at home, or purchased. The nutritional values here are based on a flax milk yogurt, such as the one made by Good Karma. Silk also makes a plain soy based yogurt that is low fat.
