Good & Gather Vanilla Whole Milk Greek Yogurt — ENGINEERED
Munch or Dump rates Good & Gather Vanilla Whole Milk Greek Yogurt by Good & Gather ENGINEERED — score 30/90.
A genuinely good Greek yogurt base loaded up with three separate sweeteners: honey, brown sugar, and cane sugar, pushing it to 18 g of sugar per 100 g. Corn starch and added vanilla flavor turn it into a dessert dressed as breakfast. The dairy and protein are real, but the sweetness is a stacked system, not simple.
Why this verdict
- Three stacked sweeteners: honey, brown sugar and cane sugar
- 18 g sugar per 100 g, dessert-level sweetness
- Corn starch thickener plus added vanilla flavor
- Sweetness engineered rather than simple
