Weight Watchers (UK), Toffee and Vanilla Yogurts!
January 1st, 2007 by hungry waif

In the U.S., i rarely subject myself to weight watchers food for a number of reasons. One, i hate the big red infamous "weight watchers" box is a little emabarasssing. It like the common knowledge that if one buys a red car, they are twice as likely to get noticed by a cop. Red is simply very ey catching and i dont want the world to think of me as a "weight watcher". Two, the food usually isnt fanatastic and quite high in calories compared to other brands. But the UK weight watchers is different! first of all, all their items are suttle as they are simply packaged in a pristine white containermaking you feel slimer just looking at it. Second, they are actually LOWER in calories than the competeing brands. So i was looking for my daily dairy serving while in good ol' London when i walked into a Sainsbury Local and picked up weight watchers yogurts in Toffee in Vanilla flavors. I was mainly excited about the Toffee flavor because ive never seen it in the States. Nutritionally, these yogurts are impressive: 50-48 calories per pot, no fat (well, 0.1 to be exact, but in the states they arent so exact, and item has to have more tha .5 grams of fat to be called fat free..), only about 6 carbs, and only 1/2 a point(if your doing weight watchers, that is). the taste.... well the vanilla isn't anything special, and to be honest, i prefer the light'nfit version wer have in states, but the toffee is nice. Not OUT OF THIS WORLD but then again, no yogurt is really that GREAT. it has a nice toffee-ish undertone which is different for a yogurt flavor but a nice change from what i am used to. It good plain, but i actually had it with some all bran fibre plus (as they call it in Britain) and it was a great healthy dairy and fiber dose to get you throught the day! (sorry this is so long, but the differnent foods and extra free time got me to really analyze every product i tried, more reviews to come!)
