Phenom Mega V Coconut Water (Pineapple Punch) Review

I was sent some Phenom Coconut Water to try out and although I was less than thrilled with the Phenom Acai Peach Coconut Water, I was hoping things would turn around with Phenom Mega V Pineapple Punch Coconut Water. This is described as, "pure, naturally good-for-you coconut water made even better with a GNC boost of electrolytes."

The taste of this Pineapple Punch coconut water is not as horrendous as the Acai Peach, but I wouldn't go so far as to say this is good. There is no trace of pineapple flavoring, just a weird sort-of coconut water with some kind of generic flavoring added to it. Again, I didn't even finish the 16.9 ounce bottle.

Each 8 ounce serving provides only 45 calories and 7 grams of sugars. The ingredients list starts with WATER then coconut water concentrate followed by all the added vitamins.

Dannon Light & Fit Pineapple Coconut Yogurt Review

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!

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 6 ounces
Calories: 80
Total Fat: 0%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 75 mg, 3%
Carbohydrates: 16 grams
Fiber: 0%
Sugars: 11 grams
Protein: 5 grams

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.

Each 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.

Yoplait Light Pineapple Upside Down Cake Yogurt

After trying a lot of different brands of 'light' yogurts, it was time to return to the one that started the trend - Yoplait Light. This was one of the first light yogurts I ever had, and it's still one of my favorites. There used to only be the standard Berry flavors, but now there are quite a few more 'indulgent' flavors, such as Apple Turnover Yogurt, Red Velvet Cake, Black Forest Cake and Pineapple Upside Down Cake, which is what I recently tried.

The flavor was rather pleasant, in fact, I liked it quite a lot. The yogurt is sweet and there was a strong taste of pineapple flavoring, but no hint of any artificial sweetener taste. I would have liked some little pineapple chunks mixed in there too though, but I knew full well that this wasn't a 'fruit on the bottom' yogurt, but I think the texture would have made a delightful difference.

Each 6 ounce serving of Yoplait Light Pineapple Upside Down Cake Yogurt provides 110 calories, no fat or fiber, 15 grams of sugars & 6 grams of protein. The sweeteners used are high fructose corn syrup & aspartame.

I regularly see the 6 ounce containers for $0.59 at Wal-mart, which is where I purchased mine from - that price really can't be beat! Yes, I like my Greek yogurt as much as the next person, and Chobani 2% All Natural Greek Yogurt (Pineapple) does taste delicious, but I'll also take the lower calories, sugars and price of Yoplait Light Pineapple Upside Down Cake Yogurt.
