To ask you to go and tell me how much sugar your yoghurt has in it?

[Girlwhowearsglasses]

I have Danio 0% fat minis at 10.9g sugar per 100g

Rachel's Organic Taste Explorers have 9.2g per 100g

Frubes have 12.9g per 100g

Munch Bunch Squashums have 12.9g per 100g

Rachel's Organic Forbidden Fruits have 14.1g per 100g!

I can't belive how different they are. So have 50% more sugar than others.

I'm not worried about the fat - in fact full fat is good for the kids as it has more nutrients I've read, but sugar is another matter.

I want individual yogurts with just a bit of sweetness in them for the kids (they won't have a big pot Dished out and it causes arguments)

So what's in your fridge?

use natural unsweetened yoghurt and add a bit of honey to it rather than having refined sugars then

Greek yogurt from Lidi. No sugar.

I buy the big bucket of greek yoghurt from Lidl and add fruit, vanilla, cinnamon or whatever to it at home which is cheaper and hopefully healthier

Full fat Greek yoghurt is naturally creamy, and you can put a handful of berries in a pot to be added before eating. My DD loves it, and it's the only type of plain yoghurt I like.

Incidentally I was shocked to realise the carb content of "diet" yoghurts, apparently even though they use sweeteners rather than sugar they remove fat so the yoghurt is thin and has to be thickened up using starches. Yuk!

Sainsburys basics natural, strained for a couple of hours in the fridge. Result is super thick, smooth tasting, higher protein, lower carb yoghurt. Ends up as approx 4g of natural milk sugar per 100g. We then add a scant teaspoon of whatever sweetening we fancy - jam, honey, pure apple sauce, homemade fruit compote etc. I can control the added sugar they have that way.

Full fat Greek yogurt plus fruit. Lovely.

I buy the cheapie cheap own brand fromage frais from Sainsburys or Asda. 6.3 (iirc) per 100g compared to 12/13 in the Peppa/Thomas/branded equivalent - and 42p for 6 as well

I would also be more concerned about the fact that aspartame is added to most yoghurts. I would rather have natural sugar than that poison.

I'd need to mix and decant, maybe make a fruit compote and blitz the hell out of it (no bits!). It's so easy to add the same as in a commercial one though - 2 teaspoons is about 10g - in a 100g individual yoghurt

Total Greek yogurt 3.4g per 100g.

We just add vanilla/ berries/ honey as they like.

They will have to learn to eat from a big pot or nothing surely?

The basics fromage frais is 6g per 50g pot, so 12g per 100g purple.

I'm trying to big it up as 'pudding' though so u can't play the 'like it or lump it ' line. I'm thinking hat maybe 9g is about minimum for it to taste ok? I feel an experiment coming on

0% fat Total Greek yoghourt: 4g sugar per 100g. All of that is naturally occurring lactose (milk sugar).

Yeo Valley raspberry yoghourt: 12.8g per 100g. I expect the biggest element of that is sucrose from the added sugar, some will be fructose from the raspberries, some lactose from the yoghourt. No aspartame or any other artificial sweetener. I can't stand them.

Muller corner banana and chocolate flakes: 16.8g per 100g. I know, I know. I buy them for my son (BMI about 17) and my husband (BMI about 20) who both run a lot. No aspartame in this one either.

Benecol fat free yoghourt with berries: varies by flavour, but averages out to about 10 or 11g per 100g. This one does have some sweetener in it. My husband buys these to help keep his cholesterol down.

If you can persuade them to try a Greek yoghurt you can add much less of your own sweetening because it's natural much smoother in taste anyway.

Or to transform it into a bigged up pudding, put a dollop of thick yoghurt into a noel, a few of their favourite summer berries on top, a teaspoon of honey drizzled over, and a single of those mini meringues crumbled overt the top. That will still probably only amount to the same total sugars as a bought yoghurt, but has much more protein, real fruit, and seems more indulgent than a normal single pot from the fridge. My boys go crazy for this version of 'Eton Mess'

put a dollop of thick yoghurt into a noel,

Christmas dessert, Time?

[sorry]

Greek yogurt from Lidi. No sugar

ALL yoghurt has some sugar in it. Typical kids yoghurts are full of shite. I think petis filous are the worst.

I buy Lidl's big tubs of natural yoghurt which are 6.2g per 100g.

how about a mini milk? 5g per 100g sugar and made with whole milk?

Bowl, bowl! But I suppose I could Christmas-fy it by using a dollop of homemade mincemeat instead of fruit!

I hope you aren't surprised that cartoon-covered produces aimed at kids are full of crap?? Or the other poster isn't surprised that a 'diet' product is also full of crap? (although complex carbs aren't crap, artificial thickeners usually are)

how about yogurt as you choose to serve it or no dessert?

I get Aldi Greek style low fat with 5.4g per 100g of sugar. I add my own fruit or when I'm feeling naughty I add some hot chocolate powder or Nestle quick strawberry powder. Tastes like a pudding.

Tesco Greek style 5g - was anyone really surprised that frubes etc is high in sugar!

We like the Sainsburys own greek natural yoghurt. Then add a little jam or lemon curd or fruit etc.
