The take-away here is that "des" (here) is simply the plural of "un/une". There is no true counterpart in English. Although some people use "some", it is almost always omitted in English. The French use it in plural here because they typically eat yogurt packaged in single-serving containers (100-125g).

So... why not "My kids eat yogurt every day"? It's complaining that it should be "children", but usually Duo treats these as interchangeable...
