Yogurt is one of the best things you can enjoy for your health\u2014rich in protein (especially for Greek yogurt), calcium, and probiotics, yogurt is a delicious and versatile ingredient to enjoy at any time of the day. Not all yogurts are created equal, though. For every limited-ingredient, high-quality option at the store there are several more packed with unnecessary sugars and additives, turning what should be a simple, nutrient-dense food into an ultraprocessed disaster. Here are seven yogurts that could negatively impact your health.<\/p>\n

\tYoplait Original French Vanilla<\/p>\n

\"\"Yoplait<\/p>\n

One 6 oz container of Yoplait Original French Vanilla contains 19 g of sugar, which includes 14 g of added sugar. That\u2019s almost the sugar limit recommended for women by the American Heart Association (25g). Definitely more of a sweet treat than a healthy snack.<\/p>\n

7 Groceries You Should Never Buy On Sale<\/a><\/p>\n

\tYoplait Light Strawberry<\/p>\n

\"\"Yoplait Light Strawberry<\/p>\n

Yoplait Light Strawberry<\/a> contains a laundry list of additives\u2014including food colorings like Red #40\u2014artificial sweeteners, and more. One 6 oz container has 9 g of sugar and 80 calories, which is a positive element for those counting calories. Overall there isn\u2019t really any way this yogurt could be considered a healthy option when it\u2019s highly processed and contains dubious ingredients.<\/p>\n

\tYoCrunch LowFat Vanilla with M&M\u2019s<\/p>\n

\"\"YoCrunch<\/p>\n

YoCrunch LowFat Vanilla with M&M\u2019s<\/a> is marketed towards children, and it certainly looks bright and fun until you look at the label: One 6 oz container has 26 g of sugar\u2014more than is recommended for an adult woman\u2014which includes 20 g of added sugar. This dessert (because that\u2019s exactly what it is) also contains a long list of additives and food colorings. Not even close to a healthy treat.<\/p>\n

\tLALA Banana Berry Frusion Yogurt Smoothie<\/p>\n

\"\"LALA<\/p>\n

The LALA Banana Berry Frusion Yogurt Smoothie<\/a> is another sugar-packed item with 17 g of sugar, plus additives such as \u201cCorn Starch-Modified, Natural Flavors\u201d. You\u2019d be better off making a smoothie at home with real yogurt and fruit, but this option sadly misses the mark.<\/p>\n

\tDanimals Strawberry Flavor Pouches<\/p>\n

\"\"Walmart<\/p>\n

Another yogurt marketed towards kids, these Danimals<\/a> Strawberry Flavor Pouches contain 11 g of sugar per 99 oz pouch. That\u2019s almost halfway towards the American Heart Association\u2019s recommendation of 25 g of sugar a day for children in just one pouch of yogurt.<\/p>\n

\tLa Yogurt\u2019s Probiotic Pumpkin Pie Yogurt<\/p>\n

\"\"La Yogurt<\/p>\n

La Yogurt\u2019s Probiotic Pumpkin Pie Yogurt<\/a> is, according to the company, \u201ckid approved\u201d, but with 29 g of sugar per 170 g container I would be wary about that. You\u2019re better off getting gut-friendly probiotics from yogurts without so much added sugar.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e<\/p>\n

\tChobani Flip Cookies & Cream<\/p>\n

\"\"Chobani<\/p>\n

Each 4.5 oz of Chobani Flip Cookies & Cream<\/a> contains 18 g of sugar, which includes 14 g of added sugar. \u201cCrafted for everyone from only natural ingredients\u201d sounds great until you actually look at the label, which everyone should do as a matter of course. This item is not a health food and would be better classed as a dessert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yogurt is one of the best things you can enjoy for your health\u2014rich in protein (especially for Greek…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147196,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4318],"tags":[2568,105,4434,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-147195","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-groceries","9":"tag-health","10":"tag-nutrition","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114603310913149119","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
