Warning: Dannon 7 Benefits All Natural Coffee Yogurt

Posted by Mark | Filed under Life, Noteworthy, Reviews

When I get up in the morn­ing, one of my first thoughts is usu­ally along the lines of how good that alarm clock would look when smashed into a mil­lion pieces. Given this is the case, I tend to sleep as late as I can and still get to work on time. Doing this does not give me a lot of time in the morn­ing for break­fast. I try to make up for this by eat­ing a cup of yogurt as my first break­fast and then later in the morn­ing I get a gra­nola bar as sec­ond breakfast.

Addi­tion­ally, I don’t like to waste money1 so I tend to buy what­ever yogurt is on sale. When I did this Tues­day, the gro­cery store had Dan­non yogurt on sale at 20 cups for $10 or 50¢ a cup. This makes them just barely cheaper than the store brand yogurt. I thought I’d give them a try and picked up 10 cups in a vari­ety of flavors.

Yes­ter­day, I cracked open my first cup of the Dan­non yogurt and had selected 7 Ben­e­fits All Nat­ural Cof­fee Yogurt. Once I had the foil cover off the cup of yogurt I knew this was not going to be good. The color of the yogurt reminded me of things I’d blown out of my nose, last time I had a bad sinus infec­tion. For extra unpleas­ant­ness, there was a thing layer of oil or maybe water on top. I mixed the yogurt up with my spoon, start­ing by smash­ing it straight down into the yogurt. To my mind some of the yogurt should have stuck to the spoon when I lifted it out of the cup. Also, the yogurt should have moved together to fill in the holes where I’d stabbed down into it with my spoon. Alas, nei­ther of these events tran­spired. Then I did a more tra­di­tional mix­ing2 and pre­pared to take my first bite.

*hor­ri­fied shudder*

Imag­ine if you will the worst office cof­fee you’ve ever had. With extra creamer. Gone all cold and solid­i­fied. Now add in an unhealthy dol­lop of chalk­i­ness and you’ll almost under­stand what it tasted like. Of course, that’s not the worst part of this story. The worst part is I have another cup of it in my fridge and I’ll be eat­ing it in the next week or so. Yes I know I will hate it, but if I just throw it away then it’s wast­ing money. *sigh*

1 Some peo­ple would say I’m cheap.

    You young hip­sters with your new-fangled yogurts. Jebus Cripes, you don’t know good when you see it.

    When I was young, we *loved* Dan­non, and got unruly when our moms tried to feed us the pre-mixed generic stuff. Give me my Dan­non with six extra tea­spoons of sugar, or I’m skip­ping nap-time.

    As we grew up, we rioted in the isles when Dan­non prices rose, but stores offered Yoplait on sale. Too smooth by half. It had no grit, no soul.

    I per­son­ally love mix­ing my own slowly-seperating plain yogurt into my blueberries-at-the-bottom. And the berry bits were still good and large, thank you, because they haven’t been through an indus­trial mixer.

    That said, their yogurt may have gone to the dogs in the last ten years, who knows. Gimme a fruit cock­tail in a vis­cous sugar syrup, and I’ll be smil­ing in the corner.

    @Ken: When we “young hip­sters” were young we ate cereal for break­fast because we had par­ents who would kick our butts out of bed in plenty of time for a proper break­fast. Of the yogurts at my local gro­cery store, the best yogurt is Yoplait hands-down, no con­test. With the wide vari­ety of flavours and types* any­one can find a Yoplait yogurt they would enjoy.

    * They’ve got reg­u­lar, diet, cus­tard style, whipped and maybe a cou­ple of others.

    @Michael: *shud­der* That does sound rather nasty but I’m not sure it’s worse. Dannon’s crap­tas­tic yogurt advan­tage dis­ad­van­tage… err, I’m not quite sure what to call it but it’s tex­ture and color were quite pow­er­ful in their awfulness.

    Dont eat yoplait—even though peo­ple and ani­mal activists have begged them for years, they still refuse to reshape the con­tain­ers that trap small ani­mals heads after shov­ing and strain­ing them in to get at the sweet on the bottom.…

    Or one can take respon­si­bil­ity into their own hands by either:

    • wash­ing it out so small ani­mals have no incen­tive to stick their heads into the container
    • break­ing the con­tainer so if a small ani­mal does stick its head in, it won’t get stuck

    I agree with the orig­i­nal warn­ing, the cof­fee fla­vored Dan­non All Nat­ural 7 Ben­e­fits tastes awful… unless you like the taste of slightly burnt wood. I do, how­ever, like the vanilla fla­vor, tex­ture and all. As for the sep­a­ra­tion on top, I assume it to be water, and I just pour it off because I like my yogurt thicker. My favorite thing about this yogurt is the short ingre­di­ent list. Only 4 items. Cul­tured reduced fat milk, sugar, nat­ural vanilla fla­vor and pectin. (For all you veg­e­tar­i­ans out there, no gelatin!!!) I suf­fer from hor­ri­ble food aller­gies and a few of those are to com­mon food addi­tives. Even if I am not aller­gic to cer­tain addi­tives I now think twice about eat­ing it, espe­cially if it is an unnec­ces­sary ingre­di­ent being used to cut pro­duc­tion costs.

    The other Dan­non Nat­u­rals that come in 4 packs have more than the 4 ingre­di­ents. If you con­sider high fruc­tose corn syrup a nat­ural ingre­di­ent, go for it. I’ll stick with the Vanilla fla­vored 7 ben­e­fits variety.

    FYI, “fla­vors” and “fla­vor­ings” are not always derived from the orig­i­nal item and are often by-products of other items and their processes. For exam­ple, cof­fee fla­vor­ing gen­er­ally is not made from cof­fee. Maybe this is the rea­son why this cof­fee fla­vored yogurt tastes like wood?

    Myself, I choose the “All Nat­ural” Stony­field Farm brand.…EXCELLENT!! No additives/preservatives, no syn­thetic growth hor­mones, no arti­fi­cial sweet­en­ers; just smooth & creamy SUPERB fla­vor. I buy the fat free plain ver­sion and add my own home­made straw­berry syrup to it for a bit more fla­vor or I add gra­nola or grape nut cereal to it for extra crunch and fiber! This can also be pur­chased in the “organic” vari­ety. Hands down, the BEST YOGURT ON THE MARKET!!

    I want to add a cor­rec­tion from my pre­vi­ous post, The Dan­non Nat­u­rals four pack doesn’t have the high fruc­tose corn syrup, it’s the Dan­non Friut on the Bot­tom varieties.

    the “water” on top is whey–the most nutri­tious part of the yogurt. Sep­a­ra­tion is natural–stir it in, don’t pour it off.

    (From Stony­field):
    Why is there liq­uid (some­times) on the top of my yogurt?
    This liq­uid, called whey is a nat­ural com­po­nent in cul­tured yogurt. Whey con­tains many of the most impor­tant vit­a­mins and nutri­ents in yogurt. Sim­ply stir it back in to take advan­tage of its nutri­tional ben­e­fits. It occurs when­ever there has been any type of pres­sure on the curd, or also from tem­per­a­ture change. A lit­tle bit whey is nor­mal. The appear­ance of whey is actu­ally a good sign, indi­cat­ing that the ben­e­fi­cial cul­tures are alive and active.

    I just had a cup of blue­berry 7 ben­e­fits Dan­non yogurt and it was fine. Almost delight­ful. It was gross look­ing but not to the extent that it had gone bad, but all fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt looks gross if you really want my opin­ion( I try to stir it up as fast as pos­si­ble!) Try the mixed Dan­non yogurt and see if you still have that yuck fac­tor. Maybe you just got a bad batch, or maybe Dan­non has gone down hill, you may want to exper­i­ment.
    I’m like you, I buy what is on sale, but Yoplait really is my favorite despite all the sac­ri­ficed animals.

    @Krissy: Dannon’s fruit-on-the-bottom has always been tasty when I’ve had it. In fact, the only one of their yogurts I can recall dis­lik­ing is this All Nat­ural Cof­fee. This par­tic­u­lar yogurt was just so tremen­dously nasty that I felt the need to warn oth­ers away from it.

    Dan­non cof­fee yogurt is the only yogurt I eat. I love the fla­vor and the tex­ture. The tex­ture equals that of nor­mal cul­tured yogurt. I admit I may be addicted to the 45 mg of caf­feine it con­tains. If I skip the Dan­non cof­fee yogurt and do not drink a cup of cof­fee, I will get a headache.

    Dan­non cof­fee yogurt is my favorite food. I can hap­pily con­sume 4 to 5 six ounce cups a day. I buy it in bulk when it goes on sale. I was dis­mayed sev­eral years ago when Dan­non dis­con­tin­ued the 16 ounce cof­fee yogurt containers.

    I would like to find other Dan­non cof­fee yogurt affi­ciona­dos. Maybe after con­sum­ing sev­eral you may become addicted too.

      Hi Betsy, Stacey & Ben,
      I am another Dan­non cof­fee yogurt addict. Most days I only eat two, but I have been known to eat five. I found this blog after I googled “caf­feine dan­non cof­fee yogurt” because I sus­pect that my occa­sional migraines are actu­ally caf­feine with­drawal. When my gro­cery store is out I have to wait until the fol­low­ing Tues­day for them to restock. I know that caf­feine with­drawal from 35–45 mg of caf­feine sounds crazy, but I had to give up reg­u­lar cof­fee b/c one cup would give me heart pal­pi­ta­tions.
      About the “blue­berry taste” — I have had that twice, once a while back, and the sec­ond time when dan­non was try­ing to intro­duce the creme caramel fla­vor. The sec­ond time I had bought 10 cof­fee yogurts and they all turned out to be creme caramel. I called to give them feed­back but when they tried to con­tact me I was in the mid­dle of a big project and didn’t get back to them.
      Any­way, I feel relieved to know that there are other peo­ple out there like me who can’t live with­out their FIX.
      Happy New Year!

      Another (for­mer) Dan­non cof­fee yogurt fan here.…. until recently. I’d say for about 25 years I had one car­ton of Dan­non cof­fee yogurt almost every day. I was pretty bummed out when they switched from 8– to 6-oz. cups, but I adjusted. Lately I do this instead: I put 1/2 t cin­na­mon, 3/4 t ste­via pow­der, a heap­ing t unsweet­ened cocoa pow­der and and heap­ing t instant cof­fee pow­der in a bowl. Add a few drops of hot water, and stir together into a paste. Then I add a cup of Trader Joe’s non­fat plain Greek yogurt and stir it up. It’s lower in calo­ries than the Dan­non, has three times the pro­tein, doesn’t spike my blood sugar, takes only a minute to make (I leave every­thing out so it’s handy, because I eat it often), and best of all I think it’s even more deli­cious than the Dan­non! Give it a try. You can alter the amount of pres­ence of any ingre­di­ent to suit your own taste.

    I agree with Mark, I will never get addicted to the cof­fee fla­vored yogurt either. The one I tried went in the trash after one spoon­ful. It tasted like a mouth­ful of burnt wood and sour milk puree to me. I’ll stick to the vanilla.

    Does it really have 45 mg of caffeine?

    Stacey, you are my yogurt soul mate. I am so happy I found you.

    You must get a lot of caf­feine. One web site said the caf­feine con­tent in 6 oz of Dan­non cof­fee yogurt was 38 mg.

    I guess we are lucky that there are peo­ple like Mark who do not like the prod­uct. I hate walk­ing into a super­mar­ket to find that all of the cof­fee yogurts have been sold.

    Does any­one know if Dan­non is dis­con­tin­u­ing their “All Nat­ural” yogurt line? I went into both of the Vons that I usu­ally go to and they weren’t on the shelves any­more. When I asked one of the employ­ees that was stock­ing the yogurt sec­tion what hap­pened to it, he told me it was prob­a­bly dis­con­tin­ued. That was the only brand that I bought since it doesn’t have the high fruc­tose corn syrup in it! Boo hoo.……

    Dan­non still lists the All Nat­ural yogurt line on their web­site in both blended and plain/flavored styles. So it doesn’t look like they dis­con­tin­ued it; maybe it wasn’t sell­ing well enough at your gro­cery store.

    Dan­non Cof­fee Yogurt is absolutely my favorite food. Have been eat­ing it 2x day since the late 1970’s. Now and then I get a odd blueberry-type taste which irks me, espe­cially when I’ve bought about a dozen of them. Glad to see there are some other cof­fee yogurt lovers out there. I do at times think I’m addicted to it. Oh well, things could be worse.

    so good. I eat it about 3 or 4 times a day. I am so sorry that they
    dis­con­tin­ued the larger size. Also in my area, NY, the prices have gone way up. They are charg­ing up to $1.19 for one 6 oz. cup. I am
    still able to get it for 99 cents.

      Dee,Beck,Josh

      You guys make me feel so much bet­ter. I thought I was the only one buy­ing so much Dan­non Yogurt (45 — 50) cups. when­ever they go on sale for 10/ $6 or 10/ $5 . I’m in there. I go to the store and stock up. Those 45 — 50 cups last me 1 month(at 2 per day). By then, I usu­ally have apprx. 5–10 cups left if I dont get greedy and eat more than 2 cups per day (lol). If Im gonna be away and pos­si­bly miss the sale I get a rain–check (or have some­one get one for me) and I buy it when I get back. In my super­mar­ket a rain-check is good for up to 60 days (2 months). By then Im ready to stock up again. If the store by me is out of the fla­vor I like/love I’ll pick and choose from what they have as a sub­sti­tute until my favorite gets back in stock. I LIKE SOME OF THE FRUIT FLAVORS and the Lemon also, but I Love the Cof­fee BEST ! Also, with the rain-check you can buy the prod­uct at any loca­tion. Since I drive, you know Im gonna check-out another store for my fix. In fact, Im get­ting to the point where Im think­ing of buy­ing a small freezer just for my yogurt (food for thought). By buy­ing so many it takes up alot of room in my refrig­er­a­tors freezer com­part­ment. Im always hav­ing to jug­gle around frozen foods to fit in my yogurt cups. Im so spoiled I now refuse to buy yogurt at the reg­u­lar price of .99 cents per cup in my neigh­bor­hood ! Note to remember…when I buy so many cups, I put them in exp. date order and eat them in order of expi­ra­tion. Its been swell exchang­ing ideas, keep the cof­fee flames roar­ing until next time!

    Doris,
    I had the same prob­lem! I absolutely loved the Dan­non Nat­u­rals four pack in straw­berry — deli­cious and no fake sweet­ener or high fruc­tose corn syrup. I refuse to eat fruit on the bot­tom yogurt as it always ends up a bit chunky no mat­ter how much I stir. Some stores do still carry the Dan­non Nat­u­rals, check their web­site, you can also get it with your sand­wich at Sub­way but it’s rather expen­sive that way.

    In answer to Rebecca’s ques­tion of another brand of cof­fee

    I like a lot of yogurt, though I do pre­fer greek yogurt (esp. Trader Joe’s brand) mixed with honey and fresh fruit. I found this blog because I was try­ing to fig­ure out whether or not Dan­non had gelatin in it, b/c I read the Yoplait label after I ate it and almost vom­ited my strangely too pink yogurt. Ew! Gelatin :( Any­way, had fun read­ing this blog while pre­tend­ing to work. I def­i­nitely don’t eat gelatin if at all pos­si­ble, as I am a veg­e­tar­ian, and I just think it’s gross to eat any­thing made from bones, skin & “other” (accord­ing to wikipedia, which knows every­thing!) Any­way, Dan­non does con­tain gelatin, and per­haps this is why it revolted Mark so much!

    I love the nat­ural cof­fee yogurt…I think it’s a love or hate kind of thing.

    I too am Dan­non cof­fee yogurt-aholic! I was recently diag­nosed with dia­betes and had to change my diet to avoid insulin shots. As I became more aware of unhealthy sug­ars and their amounts in foods I eat, I real­ized the reg­u­lar Dan­non All Nat­ural cof­fee yogurt is loaded with refined sugar at 25grams/6 oz. I now mix (half and half) with plain yogurt and I add instant cof­fee to it as the cof­fee taste was not strong enough. Its really good, and much health­ier that way to con­sume it!

      Hey Julia.…I thought about doing the same thing. Half reg cof­fee and half plain. I tried it one time the other day and it wasnt so bad. alit­tle light on the cof­fee fla­vor but I can deal with it. Think­ing about doing it with other fruit fla­vors too when nec­es­sary. Thx for sharing!

    I love Dan­non cof­fee yogurt. It’s the only yogurt I and my 5 kids will eat! Our store has a hard time keep­ing it in stock because it is so pop­u­lar in our area.

    Another quick update for you coffee-flavored yogurt lovers, one of the writ­ers for Boing­Bo­ing just posted this review of Yoplait’s Cof­fee Yogurt. It was an… unfa­vor­able review, would any of you wish to try defend­ing your pref­er­ence? Or is this sim­ply a case of Yoplait vs. Dannon?

      Just hap­pened upon your blog and thought I’d say, Yoplait’s cof­fee yogurt is indeed nasty. But I love Dannon’s, not sure it’s the “7 ben­e­fits all nat­ural” kind that you had though.

    Do you want to swal­low this?! Imag­ine eat­ing yoghurt eaten out of dog’s rear!

    Ewwwwwwww! Light and Fit dog­gish model or actress sounds and looks like my dog lick­ing his! She may love it but it would be less dis­gust­ing to eat yoghurt out of any other con­tainer … or no yoghurt at all!

    Dis­gust­ing yuck!

    That thin layer on top of the yogurt is the cultures.

    I’ve been sick with mono and ton­sil­li­tis for the past week and all I’ve been able to eat is yogurt soup and apple­sauce. It gets old pretty quick. But my brother came home with an entire case of this cof­fee yogurt and I’m a lit­tle appre­hen­sive about try­ing it. I try to keep bev­er­age fla­vored food off my radar. Unless its root beer suckers.
