Dannon Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt
Dannon Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt

WHAT: Dannon Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt

STATS: One 5.3-ounce container has 120 calories and zero fat, 15 carbohydrate, 6 fiber and 15 protein grams. We found some flavors at the Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, 2510 Cantrell Road, Little Rock. More information at oikosyogurt.com

THE SKINNY: Oikos is the Greek word for household.

We're not quite sure what that has to do with yogurt, but we do understand the meaning of Triple Zero: This Dannon yogurt line, sweetened with stevia leaf extract, has no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners and no fat (it does, however have a good amount -- 15 grams per serving -- of protein).

We like the creamy texture and simple flavors (varieties: Strawberry, Vanilla, Peach, Mixed Berry, Coconut Creme and Banana Creme).

It's worth noting the product contains chicory root fiber, known for its laxative effects. Be aware before taking it home to your oikos.
