Protein yogurts have revolutionized the diet of all athletes and lovers of a healthy life. Carrefour is home to several brands competing for the best high-protein dairy products.
Despite being much better options than other yogurts without so much protein intake, it must be taken into account that these should be introduced into the diet as a method to create variety. The best option will always be plain yogurt with no added sugar or plain Greek yogurt.
Valio Profeel Protein
It is classified as pudding or custard, but it can still be considered one of the best protein yogurts. It is available in chocolate, caramel and vanilla flavors. It is a high protein version, gluten free and lactose free. In this case, Valio yogurt provides 20 grams of protein in a single container.
Its list of ingredients is made up of ” pasteurized semi-skimmed milk, milk protein, defatted cocoa powder (2.4%), chocolate (0.3%), modified corn starch, flavorings, thickener (carrageenans), sweeteners (acesulfame K, sucralose), flavorings, salt and lactase enzyme “.
