Yogurt Pouch: Siggi'sThis Siggi's yogurt pouch is a decent snack, especially for kids. It's relatively low in calories (110) and has a good amount of protein (11g, 22% DV). The fat content is low (2g), which can be a pro or con depending on your needs.
Benefit: High protein helps with satiety and muscle building.
Benefit: Low fat can be good for those watching fat intake, but fat is needed for brain development in kids.
Concern: It has 5g of added sugars. While not excessive, it's something to be mindful of, especially since kids are the primary consumer. The sugar comes from cane sugar, which isn't ideal.
Concern: It only has 4% DV of carbs and potassium, and 8% DV of calcium, which is not a lot.
Ingredients are mostly good: cultured milk, fruit purees, natural flavor, and fruit pectin. "Natural flavor" can be vague, but it's not a huge red flag here. It also contains live active cultures, which is great for gut health.
Alternatives: Look for yogurt pouches with no added sugar or those sweetened with fruit only. Greek yogurt pouches are also a good option for higher protein and lower sugar.
