Weight Watchers White Chocolate Raspberry Yogurt — 

I recently went on a buying spree to get my semi-annual stock of yogurt.   I am not a fan of yogurt but for reasons beyond me I attempt to eat it twice a year.  I do the yogurt trend during the holidays believing that I need something to prepare for all the holiday socials and I always believe I need something to help me prepare for swimsuit season. 

So, at some point in November before Thanksgiving I was shopping at Wal-Mart and selected 10 things of yogurt.  I buy different brands and flavors with the hopes that I will actually like something.  Well, I must admit that I struck gold with the following: Weight Watchers White Chocolate Raspberry.

This was a 6 oz. cup of nonfat yogurt sweetened with Sucratose.  If you are doing Weight Watchers this would be 1 point.  As of late I have read many reviews where people referenced fiber content and/or prebiotics and probiotics.  WW's White Chocolate Raspberry is high in fiber and has both live and active cultures.  I have heard that yogurt is good for the digestive tract but I don't eat it often enough to know if I am reaping those benefits.  I say something is good my digestive tract if I can retain it for more than an hour because most food products have a tendency to want to purge themselves from my body rather quickly.  For those with Celiac Disease, Krista,  or other problems that require a gluten free diet, Katrena, this is gluten free.

White Chocolate Raspberry is a very smooth almost too creamy yogurt.  There are little bits and pieces of seeds that are from the raspberry.  The raspberry gives it a tart and sweet taste and the taste lingers on your pallate.  If there was supposed to be some form of chocolate in this product I could not taste it but that was fine with me because I don't care for chocolate.  I purchased it believing I might be okay with a little white chocolate since it would be mixed with raspberries.  This yogurt is basically a raspberry yogurt.  A true chocolate lover would be disappointed with this product because you would realize the chocolate flavor was missing.

I have always thought that many people eat yogurt because it was low in calories, possibly fat free and had the BB-12 Probiotic cultures.  To understand the prebiotic and probiotic cultures just look up a recent review that PattyTherre published.  She did a wonderful job explaining the significance of that.  I am a person that also watches carb intake and I wouldn't eat this yogurt on a regular basis because it seems to be rather high in carbs for such a small serving size.

I purchased the WW's White Chocolate Raspberry from Wal-Mart and it was approximately 55¢.  Weight Watchers offers a variety of flavors so I may be checking out some of the other ones.

I bought 7 more yogurts today by Yoplait, WW's, and Creme Savers. My doctor took me off beef and pork so I'm thinking I might get a little bit of protein through yogurt if I can find some that I like. Thanks for reading the review and I hope you find some flavors you like too! ~Gigi

I am going to look for this one! I have started buying dessert type yogurts to satisfy my sweet tooth....

It's almost like a desert not a yogurt. And I don't like yogurt either! But had to start eating it when I was expecting.

I don't like chocolate unless it's in a Snickers bar or peanut M&Ms. The tarty raspberry taste is so strong that you can't taste anything else; really!

Well, I'm one step closer to getting ready for this evening. I did my makeup and I'm going to straighten my hair in a sec.

I came online to see what some of the items were that I marked as favorites because I will probably pick a few up ;+)

Great review! I'm not crazy about white chocolate, so even though you say you can't taste it, I'm afraid I would. Sounds like it would be good though despite the whole chocolate thing :)
