What do you know about finding a Healthy Yogurt for your Children?
"Find a Healthy Yogurt for Your Kids."
Their bright packaging may appeal to children, but their nutrition may not pass muster with parents.
Packed with protein, calcium, and gut-friendly probiotics, yogurt is a healthy food many parents want their kids to eat. Marketers know that, offering yogurts that appeal directly to kids, with flavors like cotton candy and strawberry-watermelon and cartoon characters sometimes splashed across their colorful cartons. But does your child really need a special kids’ yogurt?
Recently, CR reviewed 12 strawberry-flavored kids’ yogurts, examining product claims, nutrition facts, and ingredients to see how they compare to yogurts sold to adults. Surprisingly, we found them to be no healthier, but we did find some distinctions worth paying attention to.
Kids’ Yogurts Are Smaller and May Cost More
Kids’ yogurt tends to come in smaller single-serving containers than adult yogurts. This makes sense, given that children have smaller appetites, but it can cause confusion and make it appear that kids’ yogurts are nutritionally different in a side-by-side comparison.
