Weight Watchers White Chocolate Raspberry Non-Fat Yogurt Review

Weight Watchers White Chocolate Raspberry Non-fat Yogurt

Weight Watchers White Chocolate Raspberry Non-Fat Yogurt is described on their website as, "Smooth, rich white chocolate yogurt with a tangy burst of ripe raspberry. Perfect for anytime you're in the mood for a sweet treat."

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 cup (170 grams)
Calories: 100
Total Fat: 0%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 120 mg, 5%
Carbohydrates: 16 grams
Fiber: 3 grams, 12%
Sugars:11 grams
Protein: 6 grams

When I first tasted this yogurt I thought to myself that there was a hint of something there that I just couldn't identify, but it seemed so familiar. Then I looked at the container and remember that this was not just plain raspberry - but white chocolate raspberry - and that's when I realized that I was getting a nice hint of chocolate along with the berry bits - not a tangy burst of ripe raspberry as the description from the website mentions, but something more sweet and subtle. Overall I liked the delicate, well balanced flavors in this yogurt.

Each 6 ounce container of Weight Watchers White Chocolate Raspberry Non-fat Yogurt provides 100 calories, no fat, 120 mg sodium (5% of the DV), 3 grams of fiber, 11 grams of sugars and 6 grams of protein. The sweeteners used are crystalline fructose and sucralose.

The ingredient list includes, "skim milk, raspberry puree, crystalline fructose, corn starch-modified, inulin fiber, whey protein concentrate, Kosher gelatin, natural white chocolate raspberry flavor, sucralose, citric acid, cinnamon, nutmeg, tricalcium phosphate, potassium sorbate (to maintain freshness), red 40, blue 1, sodium citrate, vitamin A Palmitate and Vitamin D3. Also contains: L. Acidophilus and Bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium SP. and S. Thermophilus."


I bought the 6 ounce container at my local grocery store on sale for $0.50 and although I prefer Weight Watchers Apple Pie a la Mode Non-fat Yogurt, I would still buy this again because it's pretty good - and variety is the spice of life.

Weight Watchers Apple Pie a la Mode Non-fat Yogurt Review

Weight Watchers Apple Pie a La Mode Yogurt

Weight Watchers Apple Pie a la Mode Yogurt is described on their website as having a flavor of, "mouth-watering apple pie with a hint of cinnamon, topped off with the creamy rich taste of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy dessert and skip the crumbs with this delicious, nonfat yogurt treat."

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 cup (170 grams)
Calories: 100
Total Fat: 0%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 120 mg, 5%
Carbohydrates: 16 grams
Fiber: 3 grams, 12%
Sugars:11 grams
Protein: 6 grams

There are not too many Weight Watchers yogurts that I really enjoy - most are okay - but nothing special. This one however, is in the memorable category. Although vanilla ice cream did not come to mind when I was eating this, I certainly tasted the sweet, dominant apple pie flavor and it was good. There were even little bits of apple pieces in the yogurt and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The only thing is that after about half the container, the sweetness became a little too much for me - don't get me wrong - I certainly finished my serving, but I can see how this one might be a little too sweet to some.

Each 6 ounce container of Weight Watchers Apple Pie a la Mode Non-fat Yogurt provides 100 calories, no fat, 120 mg sodium (5% of the DV), 3 grams of fiber, 11 grams of sugars and 6 grams of protein. The sweeteners used are crystalline fructose and sucralose.

Also contains: L. Acidophilus and Bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium SP. and S. Thermophilus."

I bought the 6 ounce container at my local grocery store on sale for $0.50 and I would buy it again - as you can see from the picture, I got my scoop on with some apple slices - and this made a very filling snack. Throw in less than a handful of Health Valley Granola, and you might start having this every day.

Stonyfield Organic Non-Fat Frozen Yogurt Bar (After Dark Chocolate) Review

Stonyfield Organic After Dark Chocolate Non-Fat Frozen Yogurt Bar

There are days when I absolutely love writing food product reviews - when I get to sample delicious, tasty treats such as Stonyfield Organic After Dark Chocolate Non-Fat Frozen Yogurt Bars ... and of course, there are the days when the kids love that I write about food products like these, because they are the ones who get to finish off the box!

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 bar (70 grams)
Calories: 170 calories
Total Fat: 8 grams, 12%
Saturated Fat: 1 gram, 5%
Sodium: 35 mg, 1%
Carbohydrates: 21 grams
Fiber: 1 gram, 4%
Sugars: 18 grams
Protein: 3 grams

You should know from our Stonyfield Farm reviews, that they make some of the best tasting organic yogurt around! And these frozen yogurt bars continue that tradition. They are so rich and creamy; so delicious - like lick your lips to make sure you get every crumb good! It actually tastes similar to ice cream, though after a few bites, the fro-yo taste comes out a little bit more. There's a nice, subtle dark chocolately flavor and the coating is absolutely perfect - in taste and it's crispy crunchy texture. It's hard to stop at one, but you better because it really is a perfect sized snack and you're only being greedy if you go back for more.

Each 70 gram Stonyfield Organic After Dark Chocolate Non-Fat Frozen Yogurt Bar provides 170 calories, 8 grams of total fat (8% of the daily value), 1 gram of which is saturated (5% of the DV), 18 grams of sugars, 1 gram of fiber and 3 grams of protein. The bars are organic and the ingredients list is not too long and complex.

I'm actually not sure how much these bars cost since I was sent samples to review, and I haven't seen them in my neighborhood stores yet - anyone know the price? I really like this as a summertime treat - a sweet tooth fix that won't hurt your diet too badly, but also satisfy your craving. Of course, Weight Watchers Giant Chocolate Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bar is still my go to - will a little less calories, fat & sugar, but the Stonyfield Organic After Dark Chocolate Non-Fat Frozen Yogurt Bar has less ... complicated ingredients.

Fit & Active Nonfat Cherries Jubilee Yogurt

Fit & Active Cherries Jubilee YogurtWith a name like "Cherries Jubilee," one would expect Fit & Active Cherries Jubilee Yogurt to taste like an amazing fruity dessert. What I found with this yogurt, however, was that it was sour, thin, and bland. Not what I was expecting (or hoping for)! I should have known better than to think this might be great - I had tried the Fit & Active Strawberry Cheesecake flavor before and found that it was pretty similar to just strawberry yogurt (no cheesecake to speak of). What I couldn't know, however, was how straight up BAD this yogurt was.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 6 ounce
Calories: 100
Total Fat: 0%
Sodium: 85 mg, 4%
Carbohydrates: 16 grams
Fiber: 0%
Sugars: 12 grams
Protein: 6 grams

I picked this up because it was just 50 cents at Aldi (it's their store brand), but it wasn't even worth that yuck. As far as nutrition goes, each 6-ounce cup of Fit & Active Cherries Jubilee Yogurt provides 100 calories, no fat or fiber, 12 grams of sugars, 6 grams of protein and 15% of the daily value for calcium and phosphorus.

The ingredients are cultured paturized grade A nonfat milk, cherries, modified cornstarch, crystalline fructose, kosher gelatin, natural flavors, citric acid, aspartame, malic acid, potassium sorbate, red 40, and blue 1. Yucky taste and yucky ingredients.

It's been a while since I had a product this bad - I've just got to think that this was some weird experiment gone wrong. The only other experience I've had with Fit & Active products has been with the Strawberry Cheesecake Yogurt is better - as long as you don't expect any cheesecake flavor or texture.
