Not only is yogurt an iconic breakfast food, but it also can be a great source of protein, calcium, potassium and other nutrients — if you pick the right kind, that is. Between all the different varieties on the market today, how could you possibly know which yogurts to add to your cart and which to avoid?
Many yogurts today contain extra ingredients, like crumbled cookies, sugary fruit on the bottom and flavors. Some varieties contain up to 20 to 25 grams of sugar per 5 ounces, and although some are sweetened naturally, many use added sugar. These should be eaten in moderation because they’re on par with your favorite candies, not health foods.
