TJ’s Greek-Style Mango Yogurt

Unlike TJ’s Greek-Style Honey Yogurt, this Apricot Mango flavor contains no trans fat. Tastes better too with real chunks of fruit. Has more total fat, but less saturated. And let me repeat: no trans fat. Much less cholesterol (80 mg vs 45 mg) and only slightly more sodium.

This is not an organic product, but Trader Joe’s only uses milk from cows not treated with recombinant bovine somatotropin, so I feel good about consuming this. Doesn’t it look great?
