I’ve never been a fan of the “watery” yogurt – the kind that comes in drink form. I’ve always been a fan of the thick yogurts that are… not runny. However, I decided to give these Promise SuperShots a try when I saw them arrive at Safeway – we use the Promise fat-free spread as a margarine substitute for some time now (sometimes – we do prefer Benecol but it’s so expensive so we usually get both…), and I like to get as many plant sterols into my diet to try and reduce cholesterol.
I was shocked to find out how great these things taste – they are very flavorful. We’ve tried Raspberry, Peach, and Strawberry. Raspberry and Peach were great, Strawberry wasn’t nearly as good. The flavor is the main thing – it’s a nice strong flavor, and the drink is very nice and smooth (a milky consistency), so it’s not offputting. If it was thicker I think I might not enjoy it – but because the consistency is nice and thin it’s more of a drink than a “drinkable yogurt”.
They are a bit pricey (almost $5 for 4 of them), but that could be Safeway.

That is Safeway.
I just bought them at Wal-mart and paid $2.96 for a 4- pack
Great to hear (will update the categories), thanks! I’ll have to check back at our Target (crossing my fingers).
Safeway has been out of it the last couple times I checked anyway.
if you are looking for plant sterols you should try the new minute maid orange juice that has it.
I just bought them for the first time this week. Want to try natural ways to reduce cholesterol. I was on medication a couple of years ago and got it down to 146 with my HDL 61. But I’m no longer on the medication and don’t want my cholesterol getting high again. I buy anything with blueberries in it because of their antioxidants.
