Making keto yogurt at home is so simple—you only need two ingredients! It’s thick, creamy, and packed with probiotics, making it a great choice for a quick breakfast or a healthy snack.
I’ll show you exactly how to make homemade low-carb yogurt that tastes amazing and fits perfectly into a keto lifestyle. Enjoy it plain, or add some fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of your favorite sugar-free sweetener for extra flavor!
I used to think I had to give up yogurt completely on keto. Since I was so used to eating low-fat yogurt for breakfast, I assumed it was off-limits. But everything changed when I accidentally discovered that I could make a low-carb yogurt in just one minute—with only two ingredients (and maybe a little sweetener if I wanted).
I’ve always been a huge fan of yogurt because it’s so versatile. You can use it in smoothies, dressings, breakfast bowls, or just enjoy it on its own. But as you may know, we avoid low-fat foods on keto because when the fat is removed, manufacturers add starches and sugar to improve the taste—which means more carbs.
And honestly, isn’t it frustrating how much hidden sugar is packed into foods that are marketed as “healthy”?
I’ve tried a bunch of store-bought low-carb yogurts, but most of them had a weird, chemical aftertaste, and none really tasted that great. I just wanted simple, whole foods without unnecessary additives.
So what did I do? I got creative! My fridge was nearly empty, my stomach was growling, and that’s when I came up with the idea to make my own low-carb yogurt—quick, easy, and actually delicious!
Is Yogurt Keto?
It depends! Some yogurts can fit into a keto diet, but it all comes down to the type you choose. Fruit-flavored yogurts are not keto-friendly because they’re packed with added sugar, which significantly increases the carb count.
However, plain, full-fat yogurt has a lower carb content and can be enjoyed in moderation. According to the USDA, a 6-ounce serving of full-fat Greek yogurt contains about 6 grams of carbs, making it a reasonable option for a low-carb lifestyle. To keep it truly keto, opt for unsweetened, natural yogurt or try making your own low-carb version at home with just two simple ingredients—no hidden sugars or additives!

Ingredients in Keto Yogurt
This easy keto yogurt requires just two simple ingredients, and it tastes amazing! I make it all the time because it’s so creamy, delicious, and versatile.
The two main ingredients you’ll need:
- Sour Cream – The base of this yogurt, giving it a naturally tangy and creamy texture.
- Heavy Whipping Cream – Adds richness and makes the yogurt extra smooth and thick.
- Keto-Friendly Sweetener – Use a liquid or powdered sweetener for the best consistency. This helps balance the tanginess and gives the yogurt a slightly sweet, creamy taste.
To make it flavored you can add 1 /2 teaspoon vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or use flavored stevia instead of the classic one.
How to Serve Keto Yogurt
There are so many delicious ways to enjoy keto yogurt! Here are some of my favorite serving ideas:
- Use it in Smoothies or Breakfast Bowls – Blend it into a keto smoothie or layer it with berries and nuts for a satisfying meal.
- Top with Keto Granola – Add some crunch with a handful of homemade or store-bought keto granola.
- Sprinkle with Nuts & Seeds – Almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, or flaxseeds add texture and healthy fats.
- Add Low-Glycemic Fruits – Berries like blackberries, raspberries, and currants keep it keto-friendly.
- Drizzle with Sugar-Free Sweetener – A little sugar-free maple syrup, keto honey, or vanilla extract enhances the flavor.
- Mix in Chia Seed Jam – One of my favorite toppings! It’s naturally sweet, packed with fiber, and pairs perfectly with the creamy yogurt.

How to Store Keto Yogurt
To keep your homemade keto yogurt fresh and delicious, here’s how to store it properly:
- Fridge – Store your yogurt in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator. It stays fresh for up to 5 days. Stir before serving if any separation occurs.
- Freezer – While you can freeze keto yogurt, the texture may change once thawed. If you want to freeze it, store it in small portions and let it thaw in the fridge overnight before eating.
- Mason Jars or Glass Containers – For the best freshness, store it in glass jars or airtight containers to maintain flavor and prevent absorbing fridge odors.
Proper storage ensures your low-carb yogurt stays creamy, fresh, and ready to enjoy anytime!

If you make it with sour cream is it really yogurt with probiotics or is it creme fraiche? Just wondering. I’m sure I t’s delicious.
Thanks
It only resembles in taste to yogurt 🙂
I love yogurt and I’m struggling because all of the GOOD tasting yogurts are high in carbs. I’m going to try this. Hopefully, it will give me my yogurt fix. Those low sugar or sugar substitutes are just not good. With this I can use sucralose which is my non sugar sweetener of choice. It doesn’t have that lingering after taste that Stevia and others have. Thanks for sharing this.
Sounds amazing- thanks so much- I’m running out to get some creams right now ?♀️ x
Using skinny syrup to flavor the sour cream eliminates the need for any type of sweetener. Just pick your favorite flavor!
Tasted great! Thank you for sharing!!
Looks great!! Can you tell me how much is a serving?? ( I see it yields 2). Also, is there any fiber? Thank you very much! ? ?
Sorry, I just found the Nutritional Analysis, which listed the serving size as 0.5 cup.
Thanks!! ? ? ?
