It's great! It has prebiotics, less fat than whole milk with the same amount of calcium, and a tremendous amount of protein. However, opt for yogurts that do not have a lot of sugar in them- like Chobani Greek Yogurt- or that have only natural sugars. Add flax seed, fruit, granola, or nuts for added benefits.

Well, it depends what yoghurt your talking about! If your talking about chocolate youghurt or youghurts with lots of sugar and additives then they are not healthy. If you mean low fat youghurt with real fruit. Or natural milk youghurt then they're healthy.
