WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – True to their mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible, Dannon recently launched new Danimals® SuperStars Greek Lowfat Yogurt. Made specifically to appeal to the unique taste preferences of kids and nutrition expectations of moms, Danimals® SuperStars further exemplifies Dannon’s commitment to making more nutrient rich products.
Danimals® SuperStars provides parents with an easy and fun choice. Kids love the flavors and parents can feel good about the nutrition profile. With 10g of protein per 4oz cup, Danimals SuperStars contains twice as much protein as regular lowfat yogurts*. Danimals SuperStars is a great snack to help kids fuel any adventures their days may bring.
“As both a pediatrician and a mother of two very active young children, I know all too well the struggle in trying to find snacks that kids will enjoy and that we feel good about giving our kids,” said Dr. Tanya Altmann, nationally renowned author and pediatrician. “I am excited to partner with Danimals® to let moms and kids know about new Danimals® SuperStars Greek Lowfat Yogurt. From school, to homework, to sports practice and beyond, Danimals® SuperStars is a delicious and fun snack that will help your children Power Up. And I can say first-hand that kids love the flavors!”
“On the heels of our recent nutrition commitment with Partnership for a Healthier America, we are committed to offer snack options that kids want to eat and that parents feel good about when feeding their children,” said Michael Neuwirth, Senior Director of Public Relations for Dannon. “As America’s largest maker of yogurt, we’re always looking to find ways to create nutritious and innovative products for the whole family. Danimals® SuperStars represents a natural progression of our ongoing commitment to help Americans enjoy the benefits of eating yogurt every day—something that’s especially important for future generations.”
Danimals SuperStars Greek Lowfat Yogurts can help provide kids with the nutrition they need. Each cup is a good source of calcium and Vitamin D, which help build strong bones, along with an excellent source of protein (25 percent of the Daily Value). Also, similar to other Danimals products, Danimals SuperStars has no artificial colors or flavors and no high fructose corn syrup.
Each cup of Danimals SuperStars will help fuel even more than young bodies. With educational and Power Up fun facts found under the lid of each cup, Danimals is helping stimulate children’s minds as well!
Danimals® SuperStars is available in 4oz 4-count packs in five delicious flavors made specifically for kids, including: Strawberry Slide, Strawberry Banana Sprint, Cotton Candy Thrill, Mixed Berry Half-Pipe and Cherry Rush.
