We are big yogurt eaters in my house, especially my kids! They will eat yogurt topped with granola or fruit any day of the week. While it’s really great to find something your kids actually enjoy eating, I try really hard to buy yogurt that’s healthy for them to be eating. I don’t like them starting the day consuming a lot of sugar and preservatives. I’m sure many of you mommies out there know what I’m talking about. Sugar overload in the morning equals majorly hyper children followed by a series of uncontrollable meltdowns. Or at least that’s how the story goes in my house.
I was really excited when I was given the chance to try Dannon Oikos Greek yogurt. Dannon’s Oikos yogurt is created through an authentic Greek straining process which gives it a rich and creamy-thick texture. There are several flavors available when I got to these store: strawberry, cherry, vanilla and blueberry and we tried them all. My kids loved the strawberry and blueberry yogurts and I loved the yummy taste of the vanilla with some granola and fresh fruit on top. My kids loved that when you go to the bottom you found all kinds of yummy fruit. Dannon’s Oikos yogurt comes in a size that’s perfect for this mommy who is always on the go and usually struggles to find something I can enjoy for breakfast. The best part for me is that each serving of Dannon Oikos Plain and Fruit on the bottom contains 0% fat, while Dannon Oikos traditional varieties contains about 3% fat. Both are an excellent source of protein, twice that of most regular yogurts.
How can you beat that?! A great tasting, healthy for your kids, easy to eat on the go, great source of protein and hardly any fat Greek yogurt!!
And just to prove how much my kids love it, here they are enjoying it for breakfast.
Look at how cute my little man is concentrating so hard to use his spoon to eat his yogurt. This was right before he gave up and used his hands. Oh well… one day at a time. hehe
If you want to try Dannon Oikos yogurt, they are offering a coupon for a FREE cup on their Facebook page.
