About Fruit yoghurt
Fruit yoghurt is a popular dairy product made by blending fermented milk with fruits or fruit purees, originating from various cultures that have historically consumed yoghurt as a staple food, such as in Middle Eastern and European cuisines. It is nutrient-dense and typically contains essential macronutrients like protein and carbohydrates, along with micronutrients such as calcium, potassium, and Vitamin D if fortified. The addition of fruit enhances its flavor and boosts the content of natural sugars, dietary fiber, and antioxidants. Depending on the preparation, fruit yoghurt can vary in calorie content, ranging from low-fat, low-sugar versions to those higher in calories due to added sweeteners.
Health Benefits
- Supports bone health due to its calcium content, with one cup providing approximately 30% of the daily recommended intake.
- Promotes gut health due to live probiotics, such as Lactobacillus, which aid digestion and may enhance the gut microbiome.
- Provides antioxidants from fruits such as berries, which contain Vitamin C and polyphenols, helping combat oxidative stress.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store fruit yoghurt in the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and consume before the expiration date. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods to prevent spoilage.
Common Questions About Fruit yoghurt Nutrition
Is fruit yoghurt high in protein?
Fruit yoghurt typically contains around 4-7 grams of protein per 100 grams, though this can vary depending on the brand and whether it's made from regular, Greek, or plant-based yoghurt. Greek yoghurt-based fruit yoghurt tends to have higher protein content. Check the label to confirm protein levels and choose options with added protein if desired.
Can I eat fruit yoghurt on a keto diet?
Most fruit yoghurts are not suitable for a strict keto diet due to their higher sugar and carbohydrate content, often ranging from 10-20 grams of carbohydrates per serving. However, some low-carb or sugar-free fruit yoghurts are available and may fit into a keto diet in moderation. Always check the nutritional label for net carbs.
What are the health benefits and concerns of eating fruit yoghurt?
Fruit yoghurt can be a good source of calcium, probiotics, and certain vitamins like Vitamin D (if fortified). However, many store-bought options are high in added sugars, which can contribute to weight gain and impair blood sugar control. Opting for low-sugar or natural versions can help mitigate these concerns.
How much fruit yoghurt should I eat in a day?
A standard portion of fruit yoghurt is typically around 150-200 grams, which provides a balanced amount of nutrients and calories (approximately 100-200 calories depending on the brand and sugar content). For those watching their calorie or sugar intake, limit servings to once per day and pair them with fresh fruits or nuts for added nutrition.
How does fruit yoghurt compare to plain yoghurt?
Fruit yoghurt usually has added sugars and flavorings, making it sweeter but higher in sugar and calories compared to plain yoghurt. Plain yoghurt contains less sugar and can be mixed with fresh fruits for a healthier alternative with more fiber and less processing. Greek plain yoghurt also tends to have higher protein content.
