Yogurt that is low in fat and sweetened
Yogurt is a healthy food if it is full-fat, organic, and plain. Many people mistakenly believe that by eating low-fat or sweetened yogurt, they are consuming less added sugar.
When taken in moderation, yogurt may be a healthy source of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and good bacteria; however, be mindful of the portion size, frequency, and calorie level of various varieties. Yogurt is an excellent source of calcium, protein, and probiotics, and it has been associated to enhanced immune system performance, weight control, and inflammation reduction.
Low-fat and sweetened yoghurts are often heavy in sugar, so opt for plain, full-fat, organic yogurt instead. Of course, you may add fruit, such as berries, or half a teaspoon of honey or real maple syrup to sweeten it. Yes, this is still sugar, but it allows you to control the amount of sugar you ingest on a regular basis.
