Specific brands of yoghurt to buy??

[Dave W]

I find it's very difficult to sort out the good, the bad and the ugly when browsing through the umpteen types in Tesco and Morrison, the two main supermarkets we shop in.
Does anyone have suggestions about the labels I should look for?

Look for the ones that don't have tons of added sugar. I love Irish probiotic yoghurt sold in Sainsbury's because it comes in a full fat version with only about 9g carbs per pot. For plainyoghurt I go for Fage Total, but not the low fat one.

I have always liked more the plain white yogurt. I like the taste og the FAGE greek yogurt boetter the wholemilk version, followed by Oikos and Delta. For standard types I have found that hard discount ones cold be a nice surprise, like the "Alpen" brand. Don't know if any of these brands are sold in UK.

Own brand full fat Greek style yoghurt from Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Lidl, Aldi. A few places do genuine Greek yoghurt, but I find it's not as nice and too thick.

I eat weight watcher yogurts I think they come in around 7g carbs a pot and they are low fat too x taste yummy x

I buy my yogurts from our local Turkish place as Turkish yogurt is the nuts, but i recon it's no good for me.

I prefer Aldi plain Greek yogurt, I like the fact that is thick.

I'm a recent convert to Skyr, which is actually a soft cheese, apparently, but is like a thick yoghurt. Very filling. 🙂

Weight Watchers ! Mixed 4 pots from 4.5 to 7.8 per pot depending on flavour. Taste nice too 🙂

I've started giving my son Fage total Greek yogurt, I've always used flavour drops in the past to add favour,, no carbs in the drops so figured the 3.8g of carbs for 100g of yogurt is better then the little pots of 85g at 12g carbs that he had in the past

I use the Greek yogurt and have it with berries, or any other fruit I fancy with it. I think this goes back to many years ago I used to make my own yogurt and along with homemade fruit salad.

What kind of flavour drops do you use and where do you get them sorry x

 

[Conrad howell]

My protein, they do quite a few flavours

Any flavours you'd recommend or avoid?

Toffee and maple syrup, are really nice, a couple of drops in porridge really sweetens it up.
chocolate flavor was horrible, too chemical tasting for me.. haven't tried the rest, I also have some sugar free syrups from my protein for pancakes, the lemon sherbet is lush, butterscotch is nice too

 

[AlisonM]

I make my own at home and it as flavour it as I wish. I usually make it Greek style and add some nuts or berries depending on my mood.

I get the Collective yoghurt. Various flavours, all good.

I'm with Northerner, Skyr for me too.

I have also this week found Skyr in Morrison. They are thick and filling but I generally buy the little round Danone ones, they have lots of different flavours.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. I think I'll give Skyr a try, I've tried Fage but find it a bit tasteless.
