The new Müllerlight yogurts have been unveiled as a lineup of cocktail-inspired desserts for adult consumers to choose when looking for an alternative to existing flavors on the market.
Featuring 0.5% gin in the recipe, the yogurts have a fat-free profile with no added sugar and a high protein level to make them a satisfying option for consumers. The yogurts come in two gin-infused varieties including Gin & Tonic and Pink Gin & Elderflower, which are both available now in the UK from retailer Asda and Tesco.
Chief Marketing Officer at Müller Michael Inpong spoke on the inspiration behind the new Müllerlight yogurts saying, "Müllerlight is one of the nation’s favourite yogurt brands, but with constant shifting consumer behavior we need to find smart ways to grow the brand and drive category growth."
