Dannon Light & Fit™ Nonfat Yogurt with Splenda® Review

Yogurt

Being my guy is Diabetic, I’m always looking for tasty foods and drinks he can have that won’t raise his blood sugar levels. Low-sugar yogurt is one healthy food he can eat, but Guy doesn’t like some of the brands he’s tried. So, I’ve had trouble getting him to eat it. I found another kind of yogurt recently I thought he’d like. Read this Dannon Light & Fit™ Nonfat Yogurt with Splenda® review and find out all about this product!

Price and Availability
I bought a Family Pack that contains 12- 4 ounce cups of Dannon Light & Fit™ Nonfat Yogurt with Splenda® at Wal-Mart. The price was $4.88 which I thought was a pretty good value, even though the cups are only 4 ounces each.

Product Description
The Family Pack I chose contains 3 flavors of this yogurt- Strawberry, Raspberry and Blueberry. You can buy individual cups of Dannon Light & Fit™ Nonfat Yogurt with Splenda® in these flavors. I believe the other available flavors are Blackberry Pie, Cherry Vanilla, Lemon Chiffon, Orange Mango, Peach, Strawberry Banana, Strawberry Kiwi, Vanilla and White Chocolate Raspberry.

1. It contains 60% less calories than regular lowfat yogurt.
2. This non-fat yogurt is Kosher.
3. It contains active yogurt cultures including L. Acidophilus. This yogurt “meets National Yogurt Association Criteria for Live and Active Culture Yogurt.”
