An informal post

This is an post on my quest to find the perfect yogurt.

Stonyfield Organic is currently my favorite, but when it is not on sale it is way too pricey (.99 each). So, on my last trip to the grocery store I picked up the Meijer brand organic yogurt because it was the only one on sale. I'd recommend not trying it. It was way too runny - I bet kids would make an absolute mess of it. It was also overly sweet, especially for being an organic yogurt, which I always thought were supposed to be less sweet (no high fructose corn syrup). But upon closer inspection of the label, I found the Blueberry flavor had 160 calories and 27 grams of sugar, while the Stonyfield Organic has 120 calories and about 20 grams of sugar.

So, that's another fail. I also recently tried just mixing the plain Dannon yogurt with some Pomegranate juice and fresh raspberries. It was ok... but still had the plain yogurt bitterness. Plus, it was a little more work than I want to put into yogurt.

And so the quest continues...
