Today, Kevin and I are reviewing Dannon Light & Fit Remix yogurts. We sampled three flavors: Brownie Sundae, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Key Lime Pie. Each container cost $1.50 at Kroger, and they all feature a dual-chamber design with yogurt on one side and toppings on the other.
Brownie Sundae (110 calories, 2g fat)
This flavor combines vanilla fat-free yogurt with brownie crumbles, honey praline almonds, and butter toffee. The yogurt portion seems similar in size to the regular Dannon Light & Fit cups, which are typically 80 calories. The extra calories likely come from the toppings.
The vanilla yogurt is sweet and pairs well with the crunchy toffee and almonds. The brownie crumbles add a rich, dark chocolate flavor, reminiscent of Sheila G's Brownie Brittle. While enjoyable, we found the dark chocolate taste a bit overpowering. Overall, we appreciated the texture and combination of toppings, though we might prefer just toffee and almonds without the brownie.
Strawberry Cheesecake (120 calories, 2g fat)
This variety features fat-free yogurt with graham cookies, caramel pearls, and dark chocolate. The strawberry cheesecake flavor is strong, with the yogurt's sweetness standing out. The toppings add a pleasant crunch, though the caramel pearls and dark chocolate are subtle in flavor.
While the added texture is enjoyable, the calorie increase might not be worth it for those who prefer the standard 80-calorie yogurt. The strawberry cheesecake flavor dominates, making the extra toppings feel somewhat unnecessary.
Key Lime Pie (120 calories, 2g fat)
Key Lime Pie is a favorite flavor, featuring fat-free yogurt with graham cookies and white fudge chunks. The yogurt itself is very strong and sweet, with a hint of lime that some might find overpowering. The white fudge chunks add a nice texture but are not particularly flavorful on their own.
For those who enjoy a strong lime flavor, this yogurt is a treat. The added crunch from the toppings complements the yogurt well, although, like the other flavors, the extra calories mainly add texture rather than significant flavor enhancement.
Conclusion
Dannon Light & Fit Remix yogurts offer a flavorful and texturally interesting experience with convenient pre-packaged toppings. If you typically add granola or other mix-ins to your yogurt, these could be a great option to try. However, if you prefer the original 80-calorie cups, the additional calories from the toppings might not be worth it.
