Dannon Light & Fit Crave Control Yogurt Review

Once again, I am on a quest to eat healthier, so while I was at the grocery store, I was checking out the yogurt's and I saw a different kind of yogurt that peaked my interest.  It was Dannon Light & Fit Crave Control Yogurt. They sell this in packs of four 4 oz. containers for around $2.99.  I thought was a little pricey but if it was healthy, maybe it was worth it.  It wasn't. 

The Facts  

• 1/3 fewer calories than regular lowfat yogurt
• 60% less sugar than regular lowfat yogurt
• 0% fat, 0% added sugar, 70 calories
• Crave control with protein fiber plus
• Contains milk and wheat

My Experience 

This particular yogurt is mixed with cereal and supposedly, the protein and fiber that it contains will help control hunger.  I purchased the vanilla and cereal flavor and I so wish I hadn't.  Blech!

When I first opened this yogurt, my first impression was that it looked a bit more watery than normal yogurt for some reason.  There were little flakes of what I think was a combination of wheat and oats.  I guess that would be the cereal part.  After stirring the yogurt, the consistency got a tiny bit thicker but was still a bit on the watery side.  I took a spoonful and I have to tell you all that it was one of the most awful things I have ever tasted.  It had such a bitter taste that I literally couldn't eat it.  It was probably because the yogurt doesn't contain any sugar.  There is a very small amount of the artificial sweetener, Splenda, that is supposed to take that bitter edge off but it doesn't do the job. 

My Final Thoughts

Dannon Light & Fit Crave Control Yogurt in my opinion is overpriced for the size and number of containers you get, tastes awful, and is not a product that I would recommend.  They do sell other flavors that I have not tried so I can't give my opinion of those but the Vanilla & Cereal flavored one, is awful.  I really have to go with a 1 star rating on this yogurt. I ended up throwing out 3 and 3/4 of the 4 cups of yogurt I purchased.
