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?

Plain or greek yoghurt with a little maple syrup or honey on top. You can also buy fruit purees if you can't be bothered to make a compote and stir a spoonful in. Plenty have no added sugar.

My dc's favourite is plain yoghurt with fresh figs (without the skins) and a little honey.

I get Yeo Valley yoghurts. ''proper organic bio live yoghurt''. Just checked on the packaging 12.9g/100g.

Bugger never realised this. I thought as it was a non-diet yoghurt and therefore the ''full fat'' ones advised by low carbers. I like the brand, the fact it's organic (from an environmental/welfare point of view) and the flavours, I just don't get on with plain yoghurt.

Gah healthy eating is a minefield.

Not surprised at all. Just trying to find which has least - surprised at variation actually

Lidl's greek yoghurt 6.2 g of sugar.
I prefere it plain, sometimes I might put a teaspoon of jam if I need the sugar.

You don't need to 'Big' things up for/as 'pudding'.

'Pudding' every day is a bad habit to get into.

You can operate a 'take it or leave it' policy - why not?

Anyway, sermon over....

TOTAL Greek Yogurt, full fat 3.8g per 100g

Oneday if it has fruit in it, it's not low carb :) Try a small pot of the TOTAL FULL FAT stuff, it's really nice.

Langley Farm yoghurts have about 20g per 100g. DH was shocked when he noticed. He'd been buying them because they weren't adulterated with all sorts of thickeners and texturisers and they tasted pleasantly sour and yoghurty.

Now, I need to go to the fridge and report back.

Yep the total one is the pudding option here. They has this eve with some raspberries and vanilla. If they didn't want it they are welcome to have the option of not having anything

I make our own, so no added sugar until I add in stewed fruits or honey or something.

Not got any in at the moment but dd has natural Greek yoghurt (proper Greek not Greek style) as the protein content is higher. She has it on her cereal.

Ds will only eat strawberry yoghurt so I'd like to find a lower sugar but no sweetener one.

I too buy the full fat Greek yoghurt from Lidl.

I've actually just had a bowl with some coconut, milled linseed and a drop of almond essence.

Was most delicious. I had to fend off a small kitten who was detemined he was going to get some.

I love natural yohurt but can't stand greek yoghurt.

The kids will either eat the natural yoghurt on its own, or with fruit in it (usually banana). Or sometimes they have a handful of smarties (which is amazing)

We get Yeo Valley ones. Happy with them.

I hate the idea of the "low fat" ones where they take something delicious and natural, remove what makes it yummy (fat) and then add a shitload of and/or sweeteners to make it palateable

I just hate food labelling it's so misleading as proclaiming "O% fat" etc etc all over it makes people think "right healthy option grab that" and of course it isn't. But they can't seriously expect everyone to sit around reading labels all the sodding time. It's deliberate and it gets my wick.

Anyway. Just had a look and the Yeo Valley plain yoghurt is 6.5% sugar which I can live with. The ones we actually buy are fruity so will have more than that.

I have an embarrassingly full fridge. I don't even eat yoghurt.

I had a look at DH's stash of M&S luxury yoghurts - they don't even pretend to be healthy.
Chocolate and coconut 17.8% sugar w/w
Raspberry and white chocolate 14.3%
Bramley apple crumble 16% (and not worth it, apparently)
banoffee 17.6%

I buy Yeo Valley for DS2's breakfasts.
0% fat blackcurrant 12.4% sugar w/w
Strawberry 12.9%
Tropical Treats 14.2%

For comparison, I looked at some actual desserts I have stashed in there.

I have some M&S individual rhubarb crumbles to entice a 10yo with ASD who has been not eating properly for days on end to sit down and eat some dinner (and put some weight back on him). They have 20.9g of sugar per 100g.

Tonight, we each had 1/6 of a sickly sweet "Cherries and Berries Struesel Tart" A portion is about 90g. There are 24.5g of sugar per 100g of that. So that tart, with a spoonful of double cream, has about the same sugar content as some pots of yoghurt!

I have whatever own brand full fat yoghurt. So probably about 6g. My youngest will eat it by the bowlful, my oldest will choose crappy sugary ones.

If you want something really creamy some shops have a fancy thicker creamier one. More fat took though.

We're not really a pudding family, I tend to eat it more for breakfast with a sprinkle of granola our maybe blueberries etc.

You are aware that lactose, a naturally occuring milk sugar, is counted in those figures aren't you?

100ml of semi-skimmed milk has 8,0 g of sugar.
That's straight from the cow, nothing added nothing done to it.

Just to give some perspective here.

Yabu if you think I am going up and down stairs to check!

Yes, which makes it sound even less easy to make your own without exceeding whet you get in commercial ones. So if there are about 5g naturally already you only have about a teaspoon of something to add before you match the lowest of them (lLttle Yeos or Taste Explorers) at just under 10g per 100g.

Hence I can feel that they are not so bad

None. Ours have Total full fat greek and then we add fruits and a little honey. Much better than refined sugar!

I eat Astro Balkan style yogourt, 3g of sugar per 125g serving, and 4g protien
I eat it plain, or chop in some fruit, or add nuts, berries, seeds, a touch of honey

Yes but by how much if you can only add about a teaspoon? I'm confused now and playing devils advocate - I could see my own DCs easily adding three teaspoons worth of sugar in whatever form to a serving of Greek yoghurt - honey, puréed fruit, jams, whatever.

But at least you can actually see it when you add it yourself

Unsweetened full fat Greek. I add some nectar of the gods. Other people call it honey.

Sometimes I have it without honey. Yoghurt is meant to be tart.

To be honest I'd rather they had more sugar in the form of fresh fruit and a teaspoon of honey than in the spoonfuls of refined sugar that are added to most yogurts. Not all sugars are terrible. The more natural the better.
We gave up all refined sugars this year, so I know they don't get any at home, which makes me more relaxed about then using things like honey.
