Taste Test: Dannon's Light & Fit yogurt

I am normally something of a yogurt snob. I typically stick to unflavored greek-style yogurt or local stuff made by either Seven Stars Farms or Pequea Valley. However, during my recent stint on the South Beach Diet I found myself needing a sweet treat. I turned to Dannon's Light & Fit yogurt for that snack and was surprised to discover that it was actually fairly tasty.

I had an opportunity recently to check out their newest product, the Dannon Light & Fit 0% Plus and I was impressed at the flavor and quality. I liked the Vanilla flavor the best, it was nearly like pudding (albeit, fat and sugar free pudding) in its flavor and consistency, with Peach coming in a close second. The cool thing about this yogurt is that it packs a nutritionally dense punch in a fairly small package, which makes it good for people who want healthier options in the traditional grocery store.

It's still no substitute for Fage with a fresh summer nectarine, but it does nicely in a pinch.

My favorite quick breakfast is Dannon Light and fit (vanilla) with a handful of frozen Blueberries and a couple of Tbs of Grapenuts. But yes, Fage is the bomb personally I love mine with Honey.
