Dannon Light & Fit Greek Blends – Banana Cream



I have become such a huge fan of Greek yogurt. I enjoy regular yogurt, but since Greek yogurt has so much more protein in it, it’s far more satisfying and filling. I’ve learned that not all brands of Greek yogurt are for me – some are too tart, some are too sweet, some flavors are just horrendous for my taste buds and some are too high in points to be comfortable with.

One brand I learned I truly enjoy is Dannon Light & Fit Greek.  Typically they’re 2 points plus values, so when I spotted this new line at Walmart I had to pick up one of each flavor that they had available.  I tried the Dannon Light & Fit Greek Blends – Banana Cream flavor and it’s DELICIOUS!  I was and am pumped to have found a banana cream flavored greek yogurt that is points plus friendly.  There are other brands out there on the market for banana greek yogurt but they’re 3-4 points and sometimes I feel that’s too hefty in points for a yogurt.

The flavor of this yogurt is exactly as it reads – a banana cream flavoring. It’s not overly banana cream, nor is it fake tasting, it’s a nice balance in the middle.  It’s filling, tasty and a home run.  I’m just sad that the brand is only sold at Walmart (at least for now?) but I hope my local market picks up the brand because it’s too yummy to have to wait to purchase or play “find the yogurt” at Walmart.

QUESTION:
Have you tried the Dannon Light & Fit Greek Blends?

  1. Hi, Shannon! Congratulations on your weight loss. You look amazing! I actually found your blog while researching the Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt - which I absolutely love. I just tried it for the first time today... the strawberry banana flavor. Good stuff - and actually pretty good protein-wise. Hope you have continued success in your health goals. Best, Mary.

    1. Hi Mary! Thank you. Dannon makes some of the best Greek yogurts on the market (at least in my opinion). I don't think I've tried a Dannon yogurt I didn't like! If you're able to find the Greek Blends in store, I suggest picking them up -- the coconut and banana are by far the best. The key lime tastes just like the regular Dannon Key Lime (which is good as well).

  2. Like you.. I love Greek yogurt. Normally eat Chobani or Oikos. But the Dannon Lite Greek is low calorie and lower in carb count. I had the strawberry today. While it tasted GREAT, I oddly had what felt like a sugar rush from it. :-( Don't understand as sugar / carb count is lower than my normal Chobani and Oikos.

    1. That is odd. I know some of the Dannon yogurts have artificial sweetener in them. Not sure if the one you had has it in it or not.
