To just want some normal yoghurt...pleeeease...

[IceBeing]

Went up and down and up and down the yoghurt aisle....there was NOTHING that wasn't either low fat or Activia.

WTF? I just want normal yoghurt...

AIBU?

No YANBU!!! I was looking for the asda big pot of strawberry yogurt and all I could find was the low fat stuff!! What was wrong with the full fat stuff?! Nothing!

What's wrong with the plain Total?

Big buckets of it in Lidl if you have one near- vanilla our fav

Yoghurt is naturally "low fat". This means that food labelled "low fat" contain less than 5% fat, whether that is how the food occurs naturally, or whether fat has been artificially removed. Thick and creamy yoghurts have cream added!

actually it is 3%

I dont think full fat flavoured yoghurt exists these days It used to really annoy me now i dont even bother looking for it

OH really didnt know that well why is it labelled low fat then

What about Yeo Valley or Rachel's? They are full strength, normal yogurts.

No, longley farm is my favourite, normally is supermarkets with the large pots.

and does that come in flavours i am not really into the whole adding berrys thing to it

Loads of great real yogurts out there. Sainsbury's own brand Greek yogurt. Yum!

I struggled with this when I was in the UK recently.

I walked up and down the yoghurt aisle for 10 mins trying to find something that wasn't 'reduced fat' or "activia/bio".

I ended up with kids yoghurts.

YANBU - but interesting about the 4% thing!

In France you have the 'normal' yoghurts and then the low-fat ones, but I don't know how much fat is in the normal ones.

in my experience low fat yoghurt = fat removed and sweeteners added not just yoghurt that is naturally low fat. The yoghurt I buy from lidl is around 3% fat but not labelled as a low fat yoghurt. There used to be loads more choice but loads of places have moved to 'low fat' and then have to add stuff like rice starch to thicken.

My rule for yoghurts is 4 ingredients max

I got sick of this so bought a yogurt maker. It's cheap, easy to use (with uht milk) and I strain it overnight for 12 hours so it is as thick as thick can be. It is incredible.

Buy a yoghurt maker. My mum always made her own yoghurt; we used to have a big dish of it in the fridge and eat it with fruit and stuff. It's also cheaper for a bigger family. I love my yoghurt maker.

Longley Farm is my favourite too. It's proper yogurt, not very sweet.
