Review: Dannon Light and Fit 0% Plus Yogurt
Posted by Kelley Smith on Fit Fare
I’ll admit it, I’m a yogurt snob. I’m picky about my yogurt. There I said it. Not just any yogurt will do. When I made a decision to live a more healthful life, yogurt started playing a big part in my new nutrition plan. I tried many kinds of yogurts to make sure I got just the right taste and consistency. I finally found my favorite and it’s by Dannon. So when the opportunity came to review a new yogurt product from Dannon, I said “Ooo-oooo Sign me up!”
Dannon’s new product has the tag line of “Light. But Not Light on Nutrients.” They could have also added “But not light on taste.” This stuff is so good. It’s creamy, dreamy good and full of fruit. It doesn’t have a tangy, strong “yogurty” taste like some brands. This tasty yogurt could be enjoyed by most anyone. Even those who might not be big yogurt fans.
According to a survey conducted by Dannon, women are committed to managing their weight. But sadly these same women also don’t have much knowledge of how to achieve their healthy diet goals. Or they sometimes turn a blind eye to what they eat on a day to day basis. In fact, according to the survey, 46% of the women do not think about the loss of essential nutrients when they cut calories from their diet. They are willing to sacrifice health for slimness. In reality, slashing calories will help you lose weight, but if you take out all the healthy nutrients in a diet, all you get is a slimmer but very unhealthy body. And folks, that won’t last long.
Dannon hopes this version of their yogurt will help women make wise nutritional decisions. 0% Plus has 50% more fruit than their regular Light and Fit 6oz. nonfat yogurt, which is also a favorite of mine. And this new version also includes healthy doses of calcium, Vitamin D and B2 in its 60 calorie, 4oz cup.
A good yogurt should be versatile. I ate the strawberry yogurt straight from the cup as part of a healthful breakfast. It rocked! Then I tried the peach flavor in a smoothie for a light slurpy lunch. Whoohooo, Dannon Light and Fit 0% Plus continued to rock! My only complaint is that the blueberry flavor doesn’t have as much fruit as the other flavors. But still, this yogurt snob approves and recommends that you give this new 0%+ variety a try.
