The Digestive Benefits of Nature's Garden Probiotic Yoggies

When it comes to satisfying snacks, it's hard to rival the dynamic duo of sweet fruit and creamy yogurt. Nature's Garden Yoggies combine these powerhouse ingredients in an imaginative way, creating a fun, tasty, and good-for-you snack. Brimming with probiotics and fiber, our decadent yogurt-coated fruit snacks help enhance digestion and balance the gut microbiome, supporting your wellness with every bite.

What Are Yoggies?

If you haven't come across Nature's Garden's Probiotic Yoggies, allow us to introduce you. Yoggies are chewy, bite-size fruit cubes wrapped in a luxurious yogurt coating. They're crafted with real apple, strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry purees, along with a dash of elderberry juice concentrate. 

Whether you choose Strawberry Yoggies or Mixed Berry Yoggies, you'll get an invigorating boost of vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. You can also be confident these functional snacks will fit effortlessly into your lifestyle, as Yoggies are made with natural flavors and high-quality, non-GMO ingredients.

Can Probiotic Yoggies Help with Digestion?

Probiotic Yoggies aren't just scrumptious — they contain wholesome, gut-friendly ingredients that support your digestive health. Let's look at what goes into every Yoggie and why these little gems are so beneficial to your health.

Digestive Fiber

Raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries are excellent sources of fiber. Each pack of Yoggies delivers 3 grams or 11% of the Daily Value of dietary fiber.

Found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and grains, fiber helps with digestion in a couple of ways:

  • Soluble fiber dissolves in water, forming a gel that slows down digestion and helps control cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
  • Insoluble fiber adds bulk to your digestive flow to help it move through your body more easily.

If your digestive system is working well, you feel comfortable after eating and avoid gas, bloating, heartburn, constipation, and other discomfort.

Probiotics

Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that champion gut health. Yoggies contain 2 billion probiotics per serving. 

Your gut is home to all kinds of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Factors such as stress, diet, medication, and lifestyle can cause an imbalance, leading to digestive problems, infections, and other health issues. 

That's where probiotics come in. When you consume these helpful microbes, they go to work, reining in harmful bacteria and helping to restore the balance of your gut microbiome. A healthy gut digests and absorbs nutrients effectively, reducing inflammation and enhancing your overall immune system, according to Cleveland Clinic.

Probiotic Yoggies contain the probiotic Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG, known for its anti-inflammatory properties. These live cultures are encapsulated to boost their survival as they make their way to the digestive tract. 

Antioxidants

Antioxidants are another key player in the gut microbiome. Research suggests a diet with plenty of antioxidants can help regulate bacteria in this delicate ecosystem. Some of the most antioxidant-rich foods, such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries, are at the heart of Probiotic Yoggies. 

Berries contain plenty of polyphenols and vitamins A, C, and E. These antioxidants can have a positive impact on the type and composition of bacteria in the digestive tract, restoring harmony and helping to maintain human health.

Other Creative Ways to Enjoy Yoggies

While they're snack-worthy on their own, Nature's Garden Probiotic Yoggies are also a great way to jazz up other foods. Here are some ideas:

  • Personalize your own snack mix by adding Yoggies to your favorite mixed nuts. A crunchy nut here, a chewy Yoggie there — you've hit the sweet spot! 
  • Perk up your breakfast by adding a handful of Yoggies into your oatmeal or cereal. You'll spoon up a tasty boost of fiber to start your day.
  • Sprinkle Yoggies into salads for a boost of probiotics. Try these fruit pieces with mixed greens, sliced pears, and slivered almonds. They also pair well with spinach, feta, and berries.
  • Top a bowl of fruit and yogurt with Yoggies for double the goodness. It's a great way to elevate the classic fruit-and-yogurt combo.

How Do You Pronounce "Yoggies"?

Taking inspiration from their tasty yogurt coating, Yoggies are pronounced "YO-geez." Yoggies rhymes with "bogies," if you're into golf, and "hoagies," for those of you who love a hearty sandwich. But your taste buds won't mind how you pronounce Yoggies — they'll be too busy savoring them!

Does Yogurt Enhance the Digestive Benefits of Probiotic Yoggies?

Probiotics are the star ingredient for improving digestion and gut health. Not all yogurts contain probiotics, so check the label if you're shopping. Yoggies fruit snacks contain around 2 billion of these protective compounds per serving.

Can Dogs Eat Probiotic Yoggies?

Probiotic Yoggies might seem like pup-sized treats, but dogs have trouble digesting lactose and can get an upset stomach from dairy. As these yogurt-coated snacks contain milk, they're best enjoyed by humans. Ask your vet if you have questions about what to feed your furry friends.
