Product Review: Dannon Light & Fit Yogurt

Laura Brady
Dannon Light & Fit yogurt is a staple in my house. It has a delicious flavor, creamy texture, it's light in calories and because it's sweetened with Splenda it's very low in sugar. It's the perfect choice for snacks, breakfast or a healthy treat for those trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy diet.

The 32 ounce Vanilla Light & Fit is my favorite flavor. There are only 80 calories in a cup, 0 grams of fat, 14 carbohydrates, 9 grams of sugar, and 7 grams of protein. It also contains 25% of the RDA of calcium, Vitamin D, and Riboflavin, 15% of the RDA of Vitamin A and B12, and 20% of the RDA of Phosphorus. Light & Fit yogurt also contains live active cultures, including L. Acidophilus. Live cultures are very beneficial for digestion and stomach/intestinal health and they have many other benefits as well.

The 32 ounce Vanilla Light & Fit has a very good vanilla flavor unlike some of the other brands. The Strawberry Light and Fit also has a great berry taste and lots of little berry bites mixed into the yogurt. The Light & Fit also comes in 6 ounce serving sizes and also in smaller 4 ounce variety packs with only forty calories each. The 6 ounce sizes have a wide variety of flavors, from blackberry, to orange mango, to lemon chiffon and much more. I've tried all of the flavors and enjoyed them quite well. Dannon also offers a Light & Fit carb control but I found the flavor to be somewhat bland and the texture a little bit chalky.

The Light & Fit yogurts are delicious eaten plain, with sliced fruit, or blended into smoothies or frosty drinks. If I want a quick, low calorie snack I slice fruit into a bowl and use a few spoons of the yogurt as a topping rather than a base. The back of the 32 ounce Light & Fit has recipe instructions for how to create the perfect smoothie in many different variations. It's so simple a child can follow along.

I would recommend Dannon Light & Fit yogurt to anyone who wants to include more lowfat dairy and fruit into their diet. It's quick, portable, easy and best of all it tastes delicious no matter what yogurt flavors you prefer. I also recommend stocking up on the 32 ounce yogurt and a variety of the 6 ounce and 4 ounce flavors as well. They'll definitely go quickly once you and your family have a taste.
