There are tons of great reasons to feed your kids yogurt. Yogurt contains probiotics, protein, calcium, Vitamin A and Vitamin D. They make for a cool summer snack, a sustaining breakfast item, or even an easy lunch addition.
These days we are presented with lots of yogurt options for our kids. Squeezable, drinkable, eatable. Blue, pink, or swirled. And don’t forget your choice of cartoon character. The next time you go to purchase some kid-friendly yogurt, though, take a minute to look at the ingredient list. An increasing number of companies are listening to mothers’ requests for healthier alternatives for their children. Some yogurt lines are now using sugar as a sweetener instead of high fructose corn syrup or vegetable juice in place of traditional dyes.
So take a second look. Sometimes easy steps toward a healthier lifestyle are as simple as picking one brand over another.
