Yogurt makes for a popular dessert or snack due to its delicious taste and the fact that it is a healthy choice. It may be difficult at times to choose the right brand in regards to nutritional value as well as taste. We at divine.ca sampled various low-fat, vanilla-flavoured yogurts on the market and have chosen our five favourites!
Astro BioBest Stirred Yogurt
 |
It has a creamy, delicious taste as well as a smooth texture. Granted, it has slightly more calories than other low-fat yogurts because it contains no artificial sugars, but we’d take those extra calories over a low-calorie, tasteless yogurt any day! It also contains probiotics (a beneficial bacteria for your digestive system), which is a rarity in low-fat yogurts.

Fat-Free Activia from Danone
 |
For a low-fat yogurt, its texture is surprisingly creamy. It contains no edulcorates (artificial sugars), and no aspartame, which is why the yogurt tastes so natural. It also has probiotics and a lot of protein, which makes it a top choice.

Yoplait Source
 |
Source is low-fat and without aspartame, but contains edulcorates. It wasn’t as creamy as we had hoped, but it still tasted good. Health-wise, it contains eight vitamins and minerals and is a good source of protein, as well as a low amount of carbohydrates.

I agree, I've tried all flavors of the PC Finesse yogurt, well vanilla being the best, all of them are pastey rather than creamy (think of powders in liquid). However, it's at least 30% cheaper than the other ones. Taste wise, Activia is the best. [less]

I would buy the Activia. It's all natural with no fake sugars and a fair amount of protein.

As a type 2 diabetic I have cut down on drinking as much milk as I used to. I eat yogurt as part of my breakfast everyday not only because I like it but because it gets me a dairy component I need. I almost always eat Danone Silhouette 0%. I love the vanilla just plain or over fresh berries and make a simple fruit salad with sliced bananas and halved red grapes with a drizzle of vanilla yogurt. Also all of their berry flavors are excellent and the cherry is my favorite one with fruit. I always stir it to rid the gelatinous aspect and it goes very creamy and pleasant. Love it! [less]
