Kellogg's Yogos

The way you completely destroy any nutritional value that you might otherwise find in a fruit snack is to coat it with sugar. Sure, it’s going to be a hit with the kids. But fruit snacks without the extra sugar are usually pretty popular with the kids, too. The only nutritionally redeeming value in Yogos is that they contain 100 percent of the daily recommended value of Vitamin C and 10 percent of the daily recommended value of Calcium. I guess the minimal infusion of vitamins makes this snack a step up from plain old candy.

Flavor
As an adult, I generally like the taste of fruit snacks. I buy them for the kids, but end up eating my fair share. I generally prefer the plain fruit snacks without any fancy gimmicks (Gushers, tape, etc.) The flavor of the Kellogg’s Yogo’s Bits is decent. The fruit flavor is still discernable through the sugary coating. The interior portion of the snack is like a microscopic fruit snack, which provides a little bit of tang to the treat. The sugary outer coating is a bit distracting. Because these snacks are so small, there is a tendency to want to pop them in your mouth by the handful. You can allow the sugary coating to dissolve in your mouth before chewing the fruity center, but that’s no fun. I generally just bit in and let the flavors mingle as I chew.

Portions
A box of Kellogg’s Yogos Bits contains six packs of individually wrapped treats. Each pack weighs 0.8 ounces, for a total weight of 4.8 ounces per box. Each individual pouch is considered a single serving size, so the nutritional values aren’t obscured by mathematical equations. Some products try to hide how much sugar or fat you are consuming by making what appears to be a single serving multiple servings. There are approximately thirty to forty pieces in each pouch.
