Love Pina Coladas but hate the extra calories and fat? At over 500 calories per cocktail (and possibly a lot more, depending on what size you get), these are a nutritional nightmare. Thankfully, there's a guilt-free substitute for that high-fat, calorie-laden drink: Dannon Light & Fit Pineapple Coconut Yogurt. It might not be an exact substitute for the alcoholic beverage, but it tastes pretty darn good!

Like all Dannon Light & Fit yogurts (read our reviews), this stuff is a bit on the thinner side compared with other low-fat or fat-free yogurts. However, the taste more than makes up for it with pineapple and coconut flavors that shine but don't overpower. Pineapple is actually one of the ingredients too - so it's not just pineapple flavoring - but coconut is nowhere to be found. I was really amazed at how dessert-like this tasted.
sponsorEach 6-ounce container of Dannon Light & Fit Pineapple Coconut Yogurt provides 80 calories, no fat, 16 grams of carbs, 11 grams of sugars, 5 grams of protein, 20% of the RDA for riboflavin and vitamin D, 15% for calcium and phosphorus, and 8% for vitamin A.
The ingredients list starts with nonfat yogurt, water, pineapple and fructose, and the sweeteners used are aspartame, acesulfame K and sucralose - 3 non-natural sugars combined (plus fructose), but the taste is incredibly natural, not to mention delicious.
I bought a 6 ounce container for $1.25, but they are regularly on sale. Dannon Light & Fit Pineapple Coconut Yogurt is definitely a flavor that I would buy again.
