Yogurt and fruit are two of the healthiest foods known to man.

However, corn syrup is not. Corn syrup is what is used to make these products super sweet. For example, a six-ounce carton of fruit-flavored yogurt contains 32 grams of sugar, only about half of which is found naturally in the yogurt and fruit. The rest comes from corn syrup, an “added” or what we prefer to call an “unnecessary” sugar.

A healthier alternative? Mix 1/2 cup plain yogurt with 1/2 cup fresh fruit, such as blueberries or raspberries. You’ll eliminate the excess sugar while more than doubling the amount of fruit you down.
