Yoplait YoPlus Yogurt
By: | Oct 17, 2007
Yoplait Light is perhaps my favorite "light" yogurts, so when I heard about the new YoPlus formula for improving digestive health I was super excited to try it. The strawberry flavor was delicious! It's thick and super creamy with lots of real strawberries pieces - I have a preference for fruit pieces in yogurt as opposed to the blended ones.
In order to help out your digestive system (and make you more regular), YoPlus uses a combination of pre- and probiotics. It contains inulin, a natural dietary fiber that comes from chicory root extract which acts as a prebiotic, plus Optibalance, which is a unique blend of live probiotic Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12. Both work to improve the beneficial bacteria in your gut.
One 4 pack of Yoplait YoPlus Yogurt cost $1.99. Each container is 4 ounces and has 110 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat (2% of the RDA), 1 gram of saturated fat (4%), 4 grams of protein and 21 grams of total carbohydrate which includes 16 grams of sugar and 10% of the RDA for fiber (3 grams). There is also 10% of added vitamin A and D plus 15% calcium.
YoPlus says try it for 10 days and you should see an improvement - which I interpreted that to mean that I should be going to the bathroom more often. Yesterday was Day 5 and so far so good - there seems to already be an increase in frequency (I'll spare you anymore details).
YoPlus is like Dannon Activia, but I didn't want to mention it before and steal YoPlus' thunder. Activia and YoPlus have the same amount of calories per serving, but Activia has no fiber whereas YoPlus has 10% of the RDA.
YoPlus uses sugar (not HFCS) and there are no artificial sweeteners. I really enjoyed it, and I actually went back and bought more (mostly to complete the 10 day challenge), but I can honestly say money well spent.

What flavors does YoPlus come in? You have got me intrigued now that you mention the omission of HFCS from the ingredients list...
The flavors are strawberry, cherry and vanilla. All are good but I prefer the ones with fruit.
YoPlus is great. I just recently tried it and it is wonderful. Very tasty and good for you.
Favorite flavor(s): Cherry
Strawberry
does it help you lose weight or weight in the midsection?
Anything by Yoplait is not even yoghurt. This is a marketing hype. Real yoghurt, like organic from Nancy's, has no junk ingredients and has a plethora of the health promoting bacteria. This is not a new thing on the block. You are just paying more for another additive and this is truly a waste of your money.
I would like to know where I may buy yoplait plus digestive in Charlotte N.C.
Is one yogurt cup a meal or a snack??
I would say a snack - I don't know about anyone else, but one yogurt cup could never take me through dinner or lunch - or even breakfast.
how many times a day are u supposed u supposed to eat yoplait???
Looks like you only need to eat it once per day.
what if i ate yoplait 3 times a day ( breakfast,lunch,& dinner) and nothing else all day?
what if i ate yoplait 3 times a day (B,L,D) and nothing else all day?
you would not be getting your essential amino acids from all of the food groups. You would be malnutritioning yourself. Don't do it.
Yoplait YoPlus Yogurt is one of the best products that I have ever tried. I had tried Activia and was less than pleased in everyway-you have to eat it everyday for 2 weeks before you "feel" any difference at all which for me was very minimal,also the taste was lacking."Yo" on the other hand has been extremely good for me. Suffering from IBS for it seems like an eternity[if you have the condition I am sure you will agree]I try products that seem to make a reasonable claim to help to relieve/alleviate the symptoms and thus far "Yo" has worked much better than expected. In a couple of days Iwas feeling better and after a full week the "claims" it makes were realized. All this without any of the nasty side effects that I had experienced with "Activia"[bloaty/cramping]."Yo" also tastes really good! the peach is fresh tasting, as is the strawberry.The cherry reminds me of European preserves -I am not that keen on the vanilla, but that is my personal "buds" my Husband liked it just fine. I also found that after I eat it I am not "starving" in 20 minutes as I am with other yoghurts which is another nice perk. I visited the Yoplait website and they have added 2 new flavors :blackberry/pomegranate & cranberry/raspberry they also are offering a $1.00 off coupon - so go and try it you may be feelings better in no time at all!
$1 off coupon on their website. 4/27/2008
I love this yogurt the blackberry is my favorite flavor. I eat this almost everyday for breakfast.
I tried it last week after hearing the commercial on it. I usually add fresh blueberries to my yogurt. This yogurt was so creamy and good, I didn't add anything the next time I ate. I really love the taste. So far, it seems to working in the digestive health arena too.

I had tried Activia for a few days and it locked me up, as yogurt usually does so I stopped. I tried YoPlus yesterday, 1 serving, and within 8 hours I had diarrhea. Has anyone experienced this? I love yogurt but had to forgo it due to transit time and WANT it in my diet.
