I did find one coconut Greek yogurt, but it was nearly 300 Kcal for 6 ounces, which makes it more like a dessert than part of a snack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I could only find two options that fit each requirement. The first is Daiya Greek yogurt, the well-known vegan dairy-substitute brand, and the second is Thrive Greek-style yogurt.
