Simply Yogurt Bars Lemon
by Dreyer S Grand Ice Cream
A relatively clean frozen yogurt bar with simple ingredients and beneficial probiotics. The main concerns are added sugar and lactose-reduced processing, but overall a healthier frozen treat option.
- Skim Milk – beneficial · Primary dairy base providing protein, calcium, and other essential nutrients with reduced fat content.
- Lactose Reduced Skim Milk – safe · Processed milk with enzymes to break down lactose for easier digestion, though processing reduces some natural benefits.
- Sugar – controversial · Added refined sugar that increases caloric density and can contribute to blood sugar spikes and dental issues.
- Cream – beneficial · Natural dairy fat that provides satiety, fat-soluble vitamins, and improves texture and mouthfeel.
- Milk Protein Concentrate – safe · Concentrated milk protein that boosts protein content, though it's a processed form rather than naturally occurring.
- Lemon Juice from Concentrate – safe · Reconstituted lemon juice that provides citrus flavor but lacks the full nutrient profile of fresh lemon juice.
- Water – safe · Used to reconstitute the concentrated lemon juice and adjust consistency.
- Lemon Juice Concentrate – safe · Concentrated form of lemon juice that provides intense citrus flavor but with reduced vitamin C content.
- Pectin – beneficial · Natural fiber derived from fruit that helps with texture and may provide prebiotic benefits for gut health.
- Natural Flavor – safe · Unspecified natural flavoring compounds that enhance taste but lack transparency in specific ingredients.
- Guar Gum – safe · Natural fiber that acts as a thickener and may provide mild prebiotic benefits, though can cause digestive upset in large amounts.
- Carob Bean Gum – safe · Natural stabilizer from carob seeds that improves texture and provides soluble fiber benefits.
- Live and Active Cultures – beneficial · Multiple probiotic strains that support gut health, immune function, and may improve lactose digestion.
- S. Thermophilus – beneficial · Probiotic bacteria that aids in lactose digestion and supports gut microbiome health.
- L. Bulgaricus – beneficial · Traditional yogurt culture that helps with protein digestion and produces beneficial compounds.
- L. Delbrueckii subsp. Lactis – beneficial · Probiotic strain that supports digestive health and may help with immune function.
- B. Lactis – beneficial · Probiotic that survives stomach acid well and supports gut health and immune system function.
