"Moms want protein for their kids, but to give it to them in a fun way that they can enjoy," said Ashley Karr, Yoplait Kids associate marketing manager. "We are also excited that all our Yoplait products contain no high fructose corn syrup. We listened to our consumers and acted."
A good source of calcium, Go-GURT Protein contains no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners and has at least 10 percent daily value of Vitamin A and D. Available in 8-count package varieties—Strawberry Superstar/Mighty Fruit Punch and Berry Extreme/Burstin' Berry Lemonade, the snack-size offerings are as fun as they are healthy, all in a tube.
