Hohoho, we are back reviewing yogurts again. After a short break, we are back with a vengeance! I am sure that we have a lot of readers awaiting for more yogurt reviews from me, so here I am, reviewing yet another brand. First of all, this Yoplait No Fat Yogurt (Forme) is different from the low fat variety (Yogurt Lite) I reviewed before. Check out the the colour of the packaging is different – Yoplait No Fat is green while the low fat variety is blue, so you guys will know the difference easily. If you are scared of fat, you will need to choose the green Yoplait because it is supposed to have no fat milk or skim milk. I don’t know about you, but I perfer my yogurt to have a little more body, so I am more for the low fat variety. And as I have mentioned before, full cream milk is much more healthier than low fat or non fat milk. Most of the nutrients are in the milkfat. If you are consuming skim milk, might as well drink white water.
Anyway, this Yoplait from Australia is very common in our local supermarket shelves. You should easily find them at NTUC, Giant or Shop N Save. And pricing is quite reasonable as well. Sometimes you do get good offers as well. As for the taste, it is nothing special but at the very least it is slightly better than the Marigold tubs. And it is indeed creamier than most brands. The flavours they offer seems a bit limited in my opinion and it comes it just those regular normal flavours. But we are talking about Singaporeans here, so we usually don’t like to experiment with exotic flavours.
Yes, the greenish Yoplait Forme no fat yogurt. This is the mango flavour.
Net weight of this yogurt is 125g. I know, not much but what to do? Hey, it has less than 1% added sugar. But it is surprisingly not sour at all. Must be all those other artificial sugars which made the yogurt palatable to the masses. That is one thing I am afraid of when it comes to all these “no fat” health freak-appealing yogurt, they usually come with all sorts of artificial sweeteners which might be worst than regular old table sugar (sucrose). Not sure why a lot of people think that artificial sweeteners are better than table sugar.
Skim milk yogurt with fruit! And contains only 50 calories per tub! Wow! That is exactly what you get when you drink white water with just a little sugar in it. Not really good.
Okay, here we have the ingredients list – skim milk, milk solids non fat, mango, thickeners, halal gelatine, acidity regulators, fructose, flavours, stabilisers, sweeteners, preservative, natural colour, live yogurt cultures like s.thermophilus, l.acidophilus and bifidobacterium. In my opinion, the small amount of yogurt you consume per tub, those live cultures from the yogurt will not be effective. You should be consuming about 250-400g of yogurt per day.
Ya, contains artifical sweetener acesulphame potassium! Again, I don’t think it is good to consume artificial sweeteners. Oh, I forgot to tell you, this brand of yogurt is manufactured in Australia!
See another one of those fancy names! Here we have Phenylalanine, whatever that is.
Yup, they have 3 active cultures and (as mentioned previously) is made in Australia! The best before date is 19th of July. Not bad. That means that this is quite fresh.
WHERE DO YOU BUY THIS FLAVOR!!!! I want some.
I believe that this brand is available in most local supermarkets like NTUC or Shop N Save.
I have this brand has never met, but really want to buy.
