"Study Reveals Top Nutritious Plant-Based Yogurt Option"
Almond-based yogurts have the highest nutrient density among all dairy and plant-based yogurt products, according to a study published in Frontiers in Nutrition. The study found that plant-based yogurts had higher fiber content and less sugar than dairy yogurts, but lower amounts of protein and calcium. Researchers used the Nutrient Rich Foods (NRF) index to score the nutritional value of 1,074 dairy-based yogurts and 150 plant-based yogurts. The study sheds light on the nutritional value of certain dairy and plant-based yogurt types, but other types may vary in nutritional value. Consumers should consider individual nutritional needs when choosing yogurt products.
