Advice to avoid flavoured yoghurts is often given but many people will not eat plain yoghurt. Do you avoid flavoured yoghurts/kefir? You are being unreasonable - I buy plain only You are NOT being unreasonable - I buy flavoured

We buy plain proper Greek yogurt and I make compotes or stewed fruits to go in Them or occasionally home made lemon curd. So much nicer and healthier .
stewed apricots and prunes
mixed berries
rhubarb and ginger
blackberry and apple
if needed I sweeten with a little maple syrup or sweetener if we have none.

@Theyreeatingthedogs, A yoghurt with only fruit and sugar added is not a UPF, and I haven't been promoting or twisting anything.
You seem to have a very rigid mindset and to only be after an echo chamber.

So, whoever is saying it that way is the one who's correct. I don't know if it's you or your husband but I guess it must be you because of the way you responded. 🤷‍♀️

I didn't say that you said I was "thick".

I cook meals from scratch, am vegetarian, rarely eat UPFs, rarely fry anything, have to remember to eat salt occasionally, don't have any sugar in the house but I have an unopened jar of honey. I rarely eat cakes or biscuits or even cereal, but you laid into me because I don't object to fruit yoghurt containing sugar.

Show quote history

Nope. You keep twisting things. You said that Fairtade was about the ingredients - wrong. You then claimed that raspberries contain sugar - of course they do, but I clearly said the yoghurt contained ADDED sugar. You rarely eat UPF, fine, but you have been promoting UPF yoghurts.

This is factually incorrect.

Chocolate - lovely.
Hazelnuts - lovely.
Chocolate and hazelnuts together - not lovely.

You've got life all wrong.

You see, if I had hazelnut I'd have to have some chocolate with it too; it is mandatory, and it would be rude not to after all!

I never said you were "thick". I said the Fair trade was not about ingredients and that that brand of yoghurt contained added sugar. You can infer whatever you want from me stating facts.

Fage strawberry OMG, the best IMHO! Although dh, and I disagree on how it is pronounced.
I find most people who eat natural yoghurt flavour it with something, eg honey etc.

Goodness, who would have thought there would be such strong opinions on flavoured yoghurt! Thank you for the info, and I don't know about you, but I'm going to get some pre flavoured yoghurt for an evening treat! 😋

I buy 0% Greek Fage yoghurt plain, and I have it with Greek honey. Love it. I get the honey from Amazon incase anyone is wondering where to get traditional honeys from

Fage strawberry is out of this world good, it’s like mousse, I always have pots and pots of it in the fridge.

Show quote history

It is so good isn't it?! I can take or leave yoghurt usually but that one is delicious. I used to love Muller smooth strawberry (came in a huge pot in the 90s), and this is the first yoghurt I have found to rival it, always pick it up, especially when on deal.

AlbieJiggered · 13/03/2026 18:27

@Theyreeatingthedogs , No wonder there is an obesity problem when people think like you.
What are you insinuating? I'm not obese and I seldom eat UPF.
If I fancied a flavoured yoghurt, I'd look at the ingredients list.

I eat so little sugar that the amount in a yoghurt isn't going to harm me.
I'd not be eating something with Modified Maize Starch, Sodium Citrates and Aspartame in them.

Modified maize starch is a form of glucose, i.e. sugar.
Aspartame is a sweetener. I avoid it.
Sodium citrates are added for food stability and other things like emulsifying.

I'd prefer to support Fairtrade where possible.

I can't remember when I last ate a fruit yoghurt. 2023 I think and it was a Yeo Valley one.

I don't think anyone gets obese from eating flavoured yoghurt. I certainly won't.

WhatwillitTake · 13/03/2026 18:26

Iloveluna · 12/03/2026 17:29

How can any disagree with how it’s pronounced considering their highly annoying and bombarding ad of the last two years ‘it’s called Fa-yeh for a reason.’ Not sure they’ve ever revealed the actual reason.

Yup, just a joke dh, and I have. Don't really watch adverts.

An ingredient being Fairtrade does have something to do with the ingredients
The raspberries contain sugar anyway.

Show quote history

Absolute rubbish comment. Fairtade is about how suppliers are treated nothing to do with the product itself. Of course raspberries contain sugar, it's not about that, it's that the manufacturers are adding in EXTRA sugar. No wonder there is an obesity problem when people think like you.
