Five Healthy Yogurts With More Sugar Than A Doughnut Prevention

You know you’re supposed to buy yogurt plain and add fresh fruit at home. But could these flavored and fruit-on-the-bottom varieties really be that bad? MORE: Six Big Myths About Greek Yogurt Yes, they absolutely can. And we thought it was high time to take these misleading yogurt bastards down a notch. So we found a host of supposedly healthy yogurts with more sugar than a Krispy Kreme original glazed doughnut, which clocks in at an even 10 g. The proof is in the pudding (er…yogurt).

Sweetened yogurt plus sweetened granola can only equal one thing: a certified sugar bomb. (And wouldn’t you rather have two and a half Krispy Kremes?)

Wallaby Organic Lowfat Yogurt Vanilla Bean: 22 g Just ‘cause it’s organic, doesn’t mean it’s healthy—a slice of organic cake is still a slice of cake. And a cup of organic yogurt with a shit-ton of organic sugar is…well, you get it. MORE: Should You Ditch Greek Yogurt for Quark? Greek Gods Greek Yogurt Fig Honey: 27 gtoo much of any sugar A natural sweetener like honey tricks many of us into thinking a product is healthier than it actually is. But , whether it’s made naturally by bees or squeezed out of earth-destroying highly processed GMO corn, is bad for you. And 27 g is definitely too much.
