If you love fruit yogurts, be wary of certain references to long lists of ingredients: sugars, fats, additives… A dietitian takes stock of the healthiest brands.
While fruit yogurts are a good dessert option for young and old alike, some have ingredients that are best avoided. And this is precisely the subject of a video by Ysaline Benakli (@ysalinediet), a dietician-nutritionist who shares her nutrition advice with her community on her Instagram account. She explains in particular how to decipher ingredient labels and choose the right products at the supermarket. So how do you identify the healthiest fruit yogurts?
The best fruit yogurts (and the flops)
As Ysaline reminds us, the best thing is to buy natural yogurts and add the sweetening product yourself: fruit, fruit coulis, jam, honey… But if you can’t do without fruit yogurts from the supermarket, the dietician recommends yogurts with a short and short list of ingredients. without additives. Also pay attention to the amounts of sugars and fruits present in the composition.
- THE Skyr with Siggi’s brand raspberries: rich in protein (12.5 g/pot) with a list of ingredients including low sugar and fat content.
- Rians brand fruit coulis cheese: with only 2 ingredients in its coulis, including 77% fruit, it is also one of the dietitians’ top picks.
- Probiotic yogurts from the Activia brand: interesting content of sugars, proteins and fats, but still contain 2 additives and a long list of ingredients.
On the flop side we find Velouté Fruix from the Danone brand which contains a long list of ingredients including 4 additives, a high sugar content (16.4 g/pot) and only 5% fruit. The expert also shares a mixed opinion for Panier de Yoplait Le Crémeux which contains 2 additives and a high sugar content (16.2 g/pot).
But if the expert highlights certain products for their nutritional profile, she promotes above all thebalanced diet and not the total ban on certain foods.
