Giveaway: $50 Grocery Store Gift Card (applies to Safeway, Dominicks, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Vons, and Genuardi's)

Recently, I've been eating the Yoplait Fiber One Yogurt that I received a sample of in exchange for a review. According to Yoplait, it is the only nonfat yogurt with 50 calories and 5 grams of fiber (20 percent of the Recommended Daily Value), in addition to being a good source of calcium and vitamins A and D. Another part of the packaging that caught my eye is Hungry Girl's seal of approval. I admit that I am more likely to notice and consider a product with Hungry Girl's endorsement as I'm a long-time reader of her daily emails and have bought some of her other recommendations.

The Fiber One Yogurts come in a variety of flavors: strawberry, peach, key lime pie, and vanilla. I chose vanilla as I prefer to mix-in fresh fruit whenever possible. In Fiber One, Yoplait has created a very creamy and sweet yogurt that is more dessert-like in taste than tart. And with only 50 calories, it will for sure satisfy any sweet cravings and won't break the scale. Each serving is 4-oz which in my opinion, is not enough for a meal but perfectly portioned for a snack or to be used as a mix-in for oatmeal, smoothie, or served with a piece of fruit.

The overall taste and texture is not substantially different than other Yoplait brands but it does contain aspartame, the artificial sweetner, which is not something I'm use to eating. I am a regular Coke girl (not diet Coke drinker) so anything with artificial sweetners is a shock to the tastebuds.

Yet, I ended up finishing and licking up every drop of the creamy yogurt quickly - it's tasty. I hope Fiber One considers making a variety with regular sugar or a low-glycemic sugar such as agave or stevia. 

If you are interested in trying Fiber One yourself, there is a sale going on at Safeway's family of stores (including Dominick's, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Vons, and Genuardi's). Until tomorrow, you can buy two 4-packs of Fiber One for $4.
