| Low-Carb Yogurt |
| 06.14.04 (1:42 pm) [edit] |
I love yogurt. It's light and creamy, a great source of calcium and unlike ice-cream, it doesn't send me to the loo doubled over with cramps. So I try to eat yogurt at least once a day. Lately every food producer on the planet is coming out with low carb versions of their food - even Ben & Jerry's. C'mon, when I eat Ben & Jerry's it's because I want to be bad and totally blow my diet out the whazooo. Part of the fun of it is that you're being naughty. Now the fantastic duo has come out with a low-carb version of their delightful ice-cream. Well, it's not really low-carb. I mean you'd blow your Atkins induction daily allotment of carbs on it, it's just low-carb relative to the regular ice-cream. Even, diet staples like Dannon and Yoplait have low-carb yogurts, which brings me to the subject of this blog.
I decided out of sheer boredom and child-like curiosity to find out which low-carb yogurt tastes the best. I bought several flavors of each brand - peaches n cream, strawberry n cream and rasberry n cream. I ate Dannon in the morning and Yoplait in the afternoon, recording my feelings and thoughts. I kept a spit bucket near by just in case. It turned out to be unnecessary as my threshold for pain and discomfort seems to have been raised over the years. Life's a bitch.
Nutritional Facts: Yoplait® Ultra™ has 8g of carbs, 5g of fat and 90 calories per 6 oz serving. Dannon® Light 'n Fit® Carb Control™ has 3g of carbs, 3g of fat and 60 calories per 4oz serving.
Texture: Dannon is creamier and lighter on the tongue. Yoplait is a tad gritty and custardy
Fruityness: Dead heat
Tartness: Dead heat
Overall taste: Yoplait is yucky and the taste is watered-down to the point where it's just not worth it. Dannon tastes a lot closer to it's regular full-carb variety but still tastes awfully synthetic. I've always wondered what it was like to eat Robocop's poop and now I think I know.
So my conclusion is that if you are really into this low-carb stuff to the point where you are willing to sacrifice pleasure and all else that makes us human then Dannon is the low-carb yogurt for you. If you ask me, it might be easier to just stick your head in an oven.
Never fear, I'm not about to name Dannon the official calcium source of Natblog.
