Both items contain just over 2 ounces and provides 10% calcium while most 6-8 ounce yogurts provide 20-35% calcium. So it’s a smaller portion that provides less calcium. Like most fruit-flavored yogurts it also contains added sugar but it’s difficult to tell how much because yogurt also has natural milk sugar. To step up the nutrition, you might want to try plain low fat yogurt (or full-fat yogurt for children under 2) and mix it with fruit (you can puree fruit like strawberries and blueberries). You also want to check for the Live & Active Cultures seal to make sure your product contains a beneficial amount of live and active cultures (another benefit of yogurt). That being said, Go-gurts make a decent, occasional snack while on the go but don't count as a full dairy serving.
