Greek Yogurt for Kids

Greek yogurt is growing in popularity in recent years.  After trying it for the first time, it’s what I grab when at the grocery store now.  I love the creamy texture most, but I can pretend it’s really because of the fact that Greek yogurt contains an amazing amount of protein (seriously, it’s all about the taste but that benefit is good too I guess, ha!)  My kids like my Greek yogurt too and now there’s a Green yogurt available just for them (so they can leave mine alone!)

Presented in a fun package and offered in flavours that kids love, Danino Greek is the first Greek yogurt of its kind to appear on Canadian supermarket shelves. “Given the importance of protein to a child’s growth, our research and development team and nutritionists worked closely together to develop a product that offers all the benefits of yogurt while ensuring the texture, flavours and packaging appeal to children,” said Pauline Varga, Vice President, Marketing at Danone Canada.

True to its commitment to bring health through food to as many people as possible, Danone is now pursuing its mission by introducing a yogurt that meets the needs of active children. With 8 g of protein per 100 g serving, Danino Greek represents a new source of protein for kids. By contributing to the recommended daily intake of protein, it aids the growth and repair of body tissues (skin, hair, nails), production of antibodies and development of strong muscles. As the only yogurt for kids in the Canadian market to have this high protein content, Danino Greek represents a nutritious snack that helps provide children with the energy and strength they need for their numerous activities. With Danino Greek, Danone wishes to support parents concerned about giving their children a healthy, nutritious diet.

Danino Greek is sold in all Canadian supermarkets at a suggested retail price of $3.99 for a package of four 100 g cups and is offered in three flavours: banana and caramel, grape, and yellow fruits.

So far, we’ve only been able to find the grape flavor of Danino Greek but we love it!  Yes, I admit it. After complaining about my kids eating my yogurt I now may be guilty of eating theirs!  I’m eager to try the other flavors too.  I mean, they’re eager. Yeah, that’s it.
