Dannon Activia Light Yogurt
By: | Sep 18, 2007
Dannon Activia Light is a fat free, reduced sugar version of the original Activia yogurt. I really liked the original version of Activia and this one is just as good. I tried the raspberry flavor which had a thick texture, was sweet and authentically raspberry - down to the little pitty seeds. Dannon Activia Light is sweetened with sucralose (Splenda), but it didn't have any of that "chemical off taste" that I experience with many of the other yogurts sweetened with Splenda.
One 4 ounce cup of Dannon Activia Light has 70 calories, no fat, 5 grams of protein and 13 grams of total carbohydrate, which includes 8 grams of sugar and 12% of the RDA for fiber. The original version had 110 calories and 17 grams of sugars per serving.
Both Dannon Activia Light and Dannon's Light 'n Fit with Fiber have 3 grams of fiber, but I prefer Activia Light because it tastes much better - even though they didn't market the fiber aspect of it. Activia also helps naturally regulate your digestive system, and they are so confident that they have a Two Week Money Back Challenge.
There are a few options out there with less calories, such as Yoplait Light which has 100 calories per 6 ounce serving, but I think Activia Light is a viable option and I would definitely buy it again - although it's a little more expensive than some of the other yogurts at almost $2.00 for a pack of 4.

I just barely tried the vanilla flavor of this yogurt today. I liked it a lot.
I usually just eat fat-free plain yogurt with berries, preferring that to pre-sweetened kinds. But this is a good (and easy) alternative.
I am trying to find a low fat activia with prunes. Is there such a yogourt? Up to now, I have only found the one with 3.3% fat. Thank you for your help.
Activia has high fructose corn syrup. Not Good!!! I no longer buy this product
activia also uses carmine for food coloring, which is basically GROUND UP LADYBUGS. eat THAT for breakfast
Ah, well, the vanilla version doesn't have any flavoring, so if you don't object to buying from a company that uses ladybugs for other flavors, it should be OK.
Activia Light is now sweetened with Aspertame rather than Sucrolose; read the labels before buying!! (Activia was sweetened with high fructose corn syrup - do not confuse the standard, HFCS version with the Light version). Read the label.
