I think protein yoghurt has just changed my life

[chocolatesaltyballs22]

OMG it literally has. I just bought the most delicious tasting fat free Icelandic protein yoghurt schizzle from M&S and it's frickin amazing and I'm totally full up after a quarter of a pot! It's bloody delicious! And best of all I've just discovered they stock the same thing in Tesco much cheaper! Am going to eat lots of it instead of biscuits and shit and get all Kate Moss like and skinny!

Had to come on and tell all of your lovely ladies as my husband just gave me a blank stare when I declared it was going to change my life and went back to writing his dull IT paper for work.

Tell me what foods have changed your life??

I need to try these
I'm low carbing, fasting some days and TRE

I really miss something sweet in the evening with a cuppa so maybe this will fill the gap

Is Kvarg the brand?
You can get Skyr in most supermarkets can't you?

I love peach and apricot yoghurts they're my fave!

Can someone tell me more about Kefir? What does it taste like?

I'm really interested in trying kefir but I have such an aversion to anything sour/off if you know what I mean. Does kefir stuff taste like off milk?

They have just over 5g of sugar per serving- sorry to burst your bubble but that isn’t low carb

Just watch out for constipation with these. I loved them but kept getting constipated so had to stop.

Does anyone else here make their own kefir? I have been for years and love it, it has far more probiotics than the commercially produced stuff so its much better for you (most commercially produced kefir has probiotics added artificially), I drink it or add to smoothies, I strain it if I want it thicker and use it like Greek yogurt.

You can buy Skyr yoghurt sachets in Home Bargains for 69p, I got the rasberry flavour, delicious.

@CiderJolly oh dear that's not good news

@IHaveBrilloHair ugh yes. The collective yoghurts are amazing. They do a vanilla kefir which is fantastic, sweetened with concentrated fruit juice instead of sugar, tastes amazing and is good for your gut. Their russian fudge live yoghurt is DH's favourite (full of sugar, mind - but delicious).

I am a sucker for standard full fat Greek yoghurt, though!

White chocolate Kvarg is The Dogs Bollocks.

Normal milk kefir has the sour milk taste (you do get used to it, though - or you can make it fruit favoured yourself by blending it with fruit).

The vanilla kefir that the collective do that I mentioned above doesn't taste like sour milk AT ALL, though. Think they do a coconut version too. I get it from Tesco.

I also like plain Greek yoghurt, must be full fat though to avoid the pritt stickness.
My favourite kefir is the biotiful brand cherry.
Basically leave the fat in my dairy thanks!

That's interesting - thank you.

I’m on a reduced carb diet thanks to gestational diabetes and high protein yogurt is one of my favourite things. Either plain Greek, plain skyr or the flavoured kvarg, with a handful of blueberries and some grain-free granola is lush.

This!! Changed my life

Normal skyr yoghurt is nice but not the stuff you've linked to which is full of sweetener, kvarg is the same. It's a real effort to find yoghurts without sweetener these days.

Skyr is not exactly a yogurt it's a cultured soft cheese to be pedantic although we eat it in the same way as a yogurt.

@GreenSlide alas I think that £1 Tesco yogurt may be regular Greek yogurt that's coconut-flavoured rather than yogurt made from coconut milk

Even better, grab a bit of chocolate protein power, mix it in the yogurt and add chucks of dark chocolate!! It's the best breakfast

@Twenty2

Fat-free yoghurt (and quark) literally tastes of vomit to me 🤢 Am I alone in this?

No!!

Wait a minute! What sorcery is this?! Delicious yoghurt that can help me lose weight? I need this in my life

I've been eating low fat plain thick yoghurt for years and agree it is indeed wonderful and so versatile.

Yoghurt + frozen raspberries/ pears/ porridge/ melted chocolate/ dollop on cereal and milk/ pieces of cod marinated with curry spices under the grill..I could go on.

Oh I've been eating and plain stuff for years - love it. But this flavoured Icelandic stuff is on another level!

@HighlandCowbag I have a yoghurt maker coming from Lakeland, it does cream cheese too. I’m allergic to cows milk so I’ll be using soya milk uht to make it with.

Can’t wait to have cream cheese with smoked salmon bagels.

That's the one I have @Fluffycloudland77! Let me know how the cheese goes, am tempted to have a go at some next week.
