The Why: It’s reasonably low in calories, tastes very good, and has fiber that we desperately need. The yogurt is a combined effort from General Mills’ Yoplait and Fiber One brands. This yogurt is only 80 calories for a container, which fits in perfectly as a mid-afternoon snack. Must people don’t realize that by not eating a snack the research shows that they overeat during other meals.

The Health Bonus: Fiber, fiber, fiber. We do not get enough fiber. This yogurt offers 5 grams of fiber or 20% of the recommended Daily Value Provides a good source of calcium (10% of the daily recommended value) and vitamins A and D. Oh, and we almost forgot, it also contains active yogurt cultures including L. Acidophilus (probiotics). To read more about healthy bacteria click here: www.dietdetective.com/content/view/1185/159/

What We Liked Best: Great creamy taste (just like the package says), the fiber and low calorie combo.

What We Liked Least: Some of the ingredients. We wish that food companies would catch on and try to offer more natural ingredients. So if you’re a purist, and want to avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup and the artificial sweetener Aspartame – this product is not for you.

What It Replaces: High calorie snacks, high fat yogurts with added sugar.

The Price: Each six-pack has a suggested retail price of $3.29

Other Offerings: Strawberry, Vanilla, Peach and Key Lime Pie.

Where to Buy: Dairy aisle of grocery stores nationwide
