Yophoria and Health Wise offer protein, calcium and live and active cultures

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – November 17, 2009 – Hiland Dairy’s delicious yogurt line has expanded to include two new products – Health Wise Probiotic Yogurts and Yophoria Probiotic Fruit and Yogurt Smoothies. Both provide an excellent source of protein, calcium and live and active cultures. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

“When consumed in sufficient amounts, probiotics can provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Dairy products containing probiotics also provide a number of essential nutrients, including calcium, magnesium and potassium. These are among the nutrients that have been identified as most lacking in the average American diet,” says Celia Harkey, a registered dietitian with the Midwest Dairy Council.  “Three servings of dairy foods every day is an easy way to help meet recommended intakes of calcium and vitamin D, plus yogurt is a good source of high-quality protein.”

Hiland Dairy’s Health Wise yogurts are available in multi-packs of four 4-ounce cups. The yogurts come in four delicious flavors: Vanilla, Pomegranate Cherry, Strawberry and Pomegranate Blueberry.

The Yophoria probiotic fruit and yogurt smoothies, brought to you by Hiland Dairy, come in 9-ounce single serving containers. Each serving is packed with five grams or 20% of the recommended daily value of fiber. Available at most places where Hiland Dairy products are sold, Yophoria comes in six delicious flavors: Washington Apple, Tropical Mango, Peach Passion, Pina Colada, Pomegranate Berry and Strawberries and Cream.

With the addition of Health Wise and Yophoria, Hiland Dairy is now a full-line yogurt supplier. Other Hiland Dairy yogurt products include their low fat yogurts available in six- or 24-ounce packages and light fat free yogurts, also available in six- or 24-ounce packages.
