The Claim

Whether young women ate yogurt with cereal or coconut-based cereal for breakfast, both made them feel less hungry and eat less in the next two hours than if they hadn’t eaten breakfast at all.

Source: The effects of cultured dairy and non-dairy products added to breakfast cereals on blood glucose control, satiation, satiety, and short-term food intake in young women.

In plain English

Whether young women ate yogurt with cereal or coconut-based cereal for breakfast, both made them feel less hungry and eat less in the next two hours than if they hadn’t eaten breakfast at all.

See the scientific wording

Both a dairy-based breakfast (Greek yogurt with granola) and a non-dairy breakfast (cultured coconut with granola) suppress short-term ad libitum food intake and subjective appetite over two hours similarly in young women, compared to skipping breakfast entirely.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: The effects of cultured dairy and non-dairy products added to breakfast cereals on blood glucose control, satiation, satiety, and short-term food intake in young women.

    Both a yogurt-and-granola breakfast and a coconut-based breakfast made people feel fuller and eat less in the next two hours than if they skipped breakfast entirely—so they worked just as well for curbing hunger.
