I've been meaning to try these Danone Danio yogurts ever since I heard they were being launched in the UK. I've seen the Danio brand before in local Polish shops so I'm glad to see them getting a wider release.
Danio Super Thick yogurts are available in six flavour; Strawberry, Passion Fruit, Blueberry, Peach, Cherry, and Raspberry. All those flavours sound good to me but I plumped for the Blueberry and Peach varieties to try first.
I know these yogurts are called Super Thick but I was still surprised by just how thick the consistency was. They're not like a thick Greek style yogurt, the texture is more like a mascarpone cheese consistency, whilst still being incredibly smooth and creamy. The yogurt has a very mild taste to it, without any real tanginess that you can sometimes get in yogurt.
The fruit layer at the bottom is quite generous with a syrupy sauce and small chunks of fruit. It compliments the thick plain yogurt perfectly and I loved the fresh fruity flavours in both the peach and blueberry varieties.
Both yogurts are very high in protein and low in fat, which is excellent, however, they're also quite high in sugar with 18g per pot. They cost 85p per yogurt which I think is quite expensive and probably not a price I would usually pay. There seem to be plenty of special offers about if you look around, I got mine on a half price offer.
