YoBaby organic yogurt isn’t new to us, we’ve been buying it since my 5 year old was a baby. We never actually stopped buying it. My daughter still loves it, both for the taste and the cute babies on the package!
There’s no added sugar, and it’s so good with some fresh fruit mixed in, maybe a drizzle of agave nectar if the fruit is tart. I believe it has the same active cultures as the Stonyfield Farms, which recommended most often for use as a homemade yogurt starter because of the active cultures. It’s of course a bit more expensive per ounce than the big tub, but that’s to be expected. It’s nice to be able to grab a 4 ounce container to take with us somewhere. I just wish I could find them locally!
The YoBaby 6-packs also come in banana/vanilla, peach/pear and blueberry/apple varieties.
It does have added sugar, though there’s no HFCS or dyes. The package states that the count includes natural milk sugar, I’d just like to know how many of the 12 grams are added. Other yogurt marketed to kids has 13-18 grams of sugar in 4 ounces. YoBaby is the only one (that I know of) made with whole milk, and I don’t know enough about milk to know whether that increases the natural sugar content when compared to low fat milk.
My favorite flavor is the apple, so I had to taste one (purely in the name of research of course!) since I haven’t had one in quite some time.
This is cream top yogurt. This is what it looked like after being squeezed and manhandled (babyhandled?) by my son, prior to opening it.
Stir to mix and enjoy. Mmm…heavenly. At 110 calories in 4 ounces, it’s a bit higher in calories (and fat, but…duh) than light/low or no fat yogurt. However, I don’t really enjoy the artificially sweetened, artificially flavored, thin stuff. A 4 oz YoBaby is more filling and satisfying to me than a 6 oz. container of the “other stuff.”
Oh wait, this stuff was called YoBABY, right? Oops. It makes me want to make jokes like, “Yo’ Baby’s diaper is so fluffy…” OK never mind!
Other products include Fruit and Cereal, drinkable yogurt, YoBaby Meals, YoKids Yogurt and YoKids Squeezers.
Anyway, one lucky blog reader will win two coupons for free YoBaby yogurt 4-packs, along with an Eric Carle growth chart!
