<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nBeing a hardcore fan takes dedication. It entails joining fan clubs, showing up whenever the thing you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a fan of makes a public appearance, and devoting a huge portion of your week to enjoying whatever it is. Also a little bit of stalking. I believe the kids have created a delightful portmanteau for that kind of stalker fan: “Stan.” <\/p>\n
But can one be a “stan” for a dairy product? I think I may qualify. I freaking love yogurt, man. I eat it every day. I have tried many brands, and I can say with confidence that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve settled on Yoplait as my brand of choice. Maybe it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Yoplait\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s high amount of sugar talking, but Yoplait is my jam. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not to say that fruit-flavored yogurts are my ultimate faves (see what I did there?) I have my old standbys: Vanilla, Boston Cream Pie, and Banana Cream Pie. These are the flavors that I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do without, the ones over which I will seriously get mad if my store hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stocked them or if someone steals them from my fridge. And the stalking\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Yes, I will do a drive-by of the dairy section just to see if my favorites are in stock, not even to buy them. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t leave scary notes declaring my love, but those little containers know what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m thinking. They can see it in my steely, meaningful gaze of longing mixed with a touch of resentment. <\/p>\n
Now Yoplait has provided a whole new product for me to obsess over by releasing lactose-free versions of the creamy goodness: Yoplait Lactose Free 99% Fat Free Yogurt. (Just in time for Lactose Intolerance Awareness Month! This is actually a thing. Can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wait for the Hallmark product tie-ins\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m thinking gassy teddy bears clutching milk bottles.) I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not even sensitive to lactose, but I will buy this variety. <\/p>\n
For now, Yoplait Lactose Free 99% Fat Free Yogurt only comes in Strawberry, Peach, Cherry, and French Vanilla flavors and not in delicious cake\/pie flavors\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 but as a true stan, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hate, I appreciate, and I will kick the faces of anyone who does otherwise. I decided to sample the Strawberry and Peach ones since those are the sweet flavors that got me through my toughest times in 3rd and 4th grade. OK, not really, but they were always on my after school snack list. Lactose Free Yoplait 99% Fat Free Yogurt boasts that it has 50 percent of your recommended daily value of calcium, so we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re off to a good start. Curious about the other ingredients, I read the label and saw that the only ingredients “not found in regular yogurt” were a lactase enzyme, Tricalcium phosphate and Vitamin D3. Interesting. It appears that the yogurt DOES have lactose, but it also contains an added enzyme to help break it down into nothing. But look, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a genius addition, and if anybody complains about it they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re just jealous. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to have Vitamin D3 tattooed on my face so everyone will know I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m down with the Yoplait nutrients. <\/p>\n
I was pleased to find that the enzyme did absolutely nothing to change the flavor of the Strawberry and Peach yogurts. Both were sweet and creamy and had a nice smooth texture. You seriously wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know whether you were eating regular yogurt or “lactose-free” yogurt if it weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t for the stylish, bright green packaging that proudly proclaims the latter. <\/p>\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure all this is welcome news for those amongst us with lactose intolerance. Poor devils. Sure, alternative non-dairy yogurt exists — I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve tried soy, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just not the same. And it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s expensive. Those little beans can be so hard to milk. So now we have an alternative to the alternative. Works out fine because they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re just imitators of the Originator. And as the Yoplait stan that I am, it pains to me say that, price-wise, Yoplait Lactose Free is only slightly<\/i> less expensive than the non-dairy brands. One thing to consider is that the label may have the word “Free” on it a lot, but the price is 90 cents, which is a little more than I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve paid for regular or Light Yoplait yogurt in the past. On the bright side, if my insides decide they suddenly can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t process yogurt anymore then I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have a reason to keep living because there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no replacing Yoplait. EVER.<\/p>\n
