Yogurt Bites

On the training call on Tuesday, Brian said that a microbiologist explained to him that the cultures in the yogurt go dormant when frozen, but when it is reconstituted the become active again. Someone explain that to me. Doesn't it get kinda reconstituted in your stomach?

I too am disappointed. Some of the questions that we as consultants have asked are questions that you think would have been asked before the product was released. A customer that is trying to be healthy is not going to throw yogurt bites into their smoothie when all it adds is sugar. I have read that it still has cultures but I don't understand how it keeps those and not the vitamins. I think that maybe they were in a hurry to get these out in time for convention and weren't as thorough as they should have been! It's the same thing with the cookbook, it is better to have to delay a product then to release a second-rate product.

With that said, I still LOVE Shelf Reliance!!!

The also have lots of sugar...not sure if it is added or not, but the #1 ingredient is sugar. I'm very disappointed. Totally doesn't flow with the new "feed your family healthy THRIVE foods" with your home store concept. But they do taste good. I will likely market more like the ice cream sandwiches: comfort food.

Oh that is disappointing! I sure hope they can add calcium back in!

I think the cultures are okay...but I wasn't following that.......it may have been answered on the other forum........

So basically it is just for taste and fun? And it is fun...I sat while I was on the phone today snacking on blueberries and yogurt bites. YUMMY!! I have some blueberry flavored ones coming.

What about the active cultures?

HI All. I've posted this in our SR forum as well. In a nut shell, our FD yogurt (and only the yogurt) will lose most nutrients bc of the FD process.......what you see on the labels is what you get......no calcium, no Vit A and no D.........Bryan (the Thrive food expert) is checking into whether or not SR can add nutrients to our yogurt since there are other companies that make a similar product with calcium and vitamins intact.

I just ordered my first yogurt. Have you tasted it? Is it yummy? What flavor(s) did you get? How do you rehydrate? So excited about this product!

I have emailed corporate----with a 'wait' response...........I also emailed Brian, the guy who developed the food line......I haven't heard anything.............not sure why our labels show no calcium, no A and no D............

I am still awaiting nutritional information regarding our yogurt bites. I love the Vanilla! I was not happy not seeing the nutrition information on the label. Anyone heard anything?
