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

I buy the flavoured ones, sometimes I’ll top with fresh fruit, other times I’ll add granola with chocolate and crumbled up meringue.

Could not give less of a crap about sugar/fat/protein/calorie content. If I’m hungry or fancy something, I’ll have it. I do a very physically demanding job so I tell myself I’m burning it off, whether I am or not I don’t know but it makes me feel better about not eating healthy.

I don't have a sweet tooth so I don't like flavoured yoghurt. I only like natural.

There is flavoured yogurt and flavoured yogurt though. Not all are equal

I buy 10% fat Greek yogurt. I buy frozen blueberries and I also add a seed mix. It’s so delicious I’m actually a bit addicted.

I ear loads of crap food as well. I don’t like flavoured yogurt.

I make up a fruit mush (lightly blended mix of everything and anything lying around), add a few drops of vanilla extract to that, and throw a spoonful on the plain yogurt. So nice. I also have a yogurt strainer, so if the plain yogurt is too runny I leave it in there overnight, and get Greek style thick yogurt next morning.

I do a bit of both! I try to do low upf but I do need some flavour with my yogurt so I have flavoured or I add flavour drops to plain which are probably just as bad!

Overall I’m not worried though, I do my best and don’t eat a lot of upf foods! My diet used to be sweets, crisps and snack foods so I’ve come a long way!

I buy Longley Farm yoghurt if I can. They are the best, hazelnut or any of the flavours, actually. Life is too short for inferior yoghurt, imo.
I also drink wine and eat Doritos. 😬

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.

itsthetea · 12/03/2026 16:38

I buy plain and add my own flavour - spoonful of homemade jam or some honey for sweetness , fruit, nuts seeds or cornflakes for crunch

I do drink wine and eat Doritos but yoghurt is so easy to get good taste and much better for you

I make my own in a yoghurt maker. So cheap and easy.

Exactly the same!

AdoraBell · 12/03/2026 16:35

I buy Greek yoghurt I use frozen berries. DH likes natural yoghurt with berries and other fruits.

Justcallmedaffodil · 12/03/2026 16:34

I don’t like plain yogurt, so tend to buy the Rachel’s Organic flavoured ones.

takealettermsjones · 12/03/2026 16:30

I buy flavoured yoghurts if I want to. I also drink wine and eat Doritos and I don't even make my own bread. 😱

rubyslippers · 12/03/2026 16:28

I buy plain fage yoghurt and add honey or fruit myself
