Within the framework of this recommendation, yogurt is therefore integrated daily as part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle! Yogurt, a balanced food Yogurt contains many nutrients necessary for our balance. Few foods provide protein, fat and carbohydrate at the same time, in such a balanced way.

As for sugars, depending on whether they are plain, flavored or fruit, a pot of yogurt brings 5 to 18g on average, which is reasonable! In the nutrition table on the label, know that milk sugar (lactose) is counted in the amount of total sugars.
