Yaourt

I really like yogurt. For a while I ate yogurt every day. I had grown up on Yoplait low fat yogurt and for years never branched out. I had no reason to. Until I learned about saturated fat. Sat fat became my enemy and still to this day I try my best to avoid it whenever I can. That meant saying goodbye to my yogurt, at least momentarily. I wasn't completely put off so I found and moved on to Yoplait's nonfat yogurt. It wasn't the same taste or texture, but it gave me my calcium and satiated my occasional yogurt craving. I was good again with yogurt. Until I learned about aspartame. Aspartame became my enemy and still to this day I try my best to avoid it whenever I can...

I gave up on yogurt for a while. It was just too much for a health nut like myself: if it's full flavor it's high in sat fat; non-fat and it's full of artificiality. Obviously a lose-lose situation. Or it was until I found Wallaby Organic nonfat yogurt. This stuff is great: nonfat ergo sat fat-free; organic ergo aspartame-free; delicious ergo win-win-win.

Just look at these amazing ingredients:Organic Cultured Pasteurized Nonfat Milk, Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Pineapple Concentrate, Organic Pineapple Flavor, Organic Coconut Extract, Organic Creamed Coconut, Pectin, Organic Locust Bean Gum

No sugar, no artificial flavors, just simple plain yummy yogurt goodness. 

Now after having discovered this yogurt, it makes me wonder why I ever liked Yoplait to begin with. My old favorite strawberry yogurt has this charming list of ingredients: Cultured Pasteurized Grade A Lowfat Fat Milk, Sugar, Strawberries, Modified Cornstarch, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Nonfat Milk, Kosher Gelatin, Citric Acid, Tricalcium Phosphate, Natural Flavor, Pectin, Colored With Carmine, Vitamin A Acetate, Vitamin D3. 

Sugar and HFCS? That seems a bit like overkill, but whatever. 

If you like yogurt, go buy Wallaby. There's really no reason not to. They have amazing flavors (pineapple coconut, mango lime, strawberry guava, peach, Bartlett pear) and they come with that adorable little marsupial on the packaging.
