To offset its natural [[sour]]ness, yogurt is also sold sweetened, sweetened and flavored or in containers with fruit or fruit jam on the bottom. The two styles of yogurt commonly found in the grocery store are set-style yogurt and Swiss-style yogurt. Set-style yogurt is poured into individual containers to set, while Swiss-style yogurt is stirred prior to packaging. Either may have fruit added to increase sweetness.

[[Lassi]] is a common Indian beverage made from stirred liquified yogurt that is either salted or sweetened with sugar commonly, less commonly honey and combined with fruit pulp to create flavored lassi. Consistency can vary widely, with urban and commercial lassis having uniform texture through being processed, whereas rural and rustic lassi has discernible curds or fruit pulp.~~<ref name=cloake/>~~

Large amounts of sugar – or other [[sweetener]]s for low-energy yogurts – are often used in commercial yogurt. Some yogurts contain added [[modified starch]], [[pectin]] (found naturally in fruit) or [[gelatin]] to create thickness and creaminess. This type of yogurt may be marketed under the name Swiss-style, although it is unrelated to conventional Swiss yogurt. Some yogurts, often called "cream line", are made with whole milk which has not been homogenized so the cream rises to the top. In many countries, sweetened, flavored yogurt is common, typically sold in [[single-use|single-serving]] [[plastic cup]]s. Common flavors may include [[vanilla]], [[honey]], and [[toffee]], and various fruits. In the early 21st century, yogurt flavors inspired by desserts, such as chocolate or cheesecake, became common. There is concern about the [[#Nutrition|health effects of sweetened yogurt]] due to its high sugar content, although research indicates that use of sugar in yogurt manufacturing has decreased since 2016 in response to [[World Health Organization|WHO]] and government initiatives to combat [[obesity]].
