Yoplait No Fat Strawberry Yogurt
1062 days agoLife is great. I mean, what is better than coming home from work and having a nice cup of delicious yogurt to relax and watch some TV? Nothing. Of course, this is not completely true. In Singapore, most of us suffer from too much stress and this has certainly affected our diet choices and in turn our health. Most of us think of fried stuff like those greasy fried chicken as comfort food. Yes, what better comfort food than that huge juicy Carl’s Jr burger eh? It taste great (to Singaporeans) and in the end, you feel comfortable. But then, it is not healthy. I am sure most of us know that most fried stuff we find in the shops in Singapore are terribly unhealthy. It is like eating a whole bucket-full of used disgusting grease. So what other comfort foods out there is healthy? Well…we have yogurt!
All of us know that yogurt is good for us. The live cultures in the yogurt helps to maintain a healthy digestive system in our gut and the nutrients and vitamins in the yogurt is excellent. Furthermore, the yogurt itself looks quite appealing to the younger crowd. The main problem is that most commercial yogurts are loaded with sugar and other sweeteners, which if consumed in large quantities is NOT good for us. So how? Most people will go for “lite” varieties of yogurts which have less sugar in them. A lot of consumers also go for the “low fat” or “no fat” varieties in the vain attempt to cut down on “fat” consumption which I find is ironic. A lot of people don’t know that it isn’t “fat” in their foods that is making them “fat”, it is the calories! If you eat too much, you will get fat, whether or not the food you consume contains “fat” in them.
The Yoplait No Fat Strawberry Yogurt. All the green is actually making me giddy. This will definitely appeal to the tree huggers we see crowding at the MacRitchie reservoir every day.
Oh right, no fat yogurt! Again, this will appeal to the health conscious crowd, which in my opinion is flawed. I repeat, the fat in your food don’t make you fat, it is the calories you take! And oh, lookie here, less than 1% added sugar! Of course, they forgot to mention that they have added other artificial sweeteners to the yogurt which are not defined under the label “sugar”.
Yes, Skim milk yogurt with fruit. Actually the taste of this yogurt is quite nice. Only 48 calories per tub. Now I don’t feel that guilty about my weight when I eat this.
Check out the ingredients – Skim Milk, Milk Solids non fat, strawberries, thickeners, fructose, halal gelatine, acidity regulators, stabiliser, flavours, natural colour, sweeteners, preservatives and live yogurt cultures like s.thermophilus, l.acidophilus and bifidobacterium. Yes, those are good bacteria and you should consume more of them.

Contains Phenylalanine. So if you are suffering from PKU, you will need to avoid this food.
The cover of the Yoplait “Forme” No Fat Strawberry yogurt. Open this cover and you will be able to see the delicious yogurt underneath. And if you were to dig your spoon into this yogurt and scoop a spoonful of yogurt into your mouth, you will have to agree with me, this is indeed comfort food. Best of health to you guys!
