Healthy children's yoghurt??

10 replies

OK, I know I can just use regular bio yoghurt and add some fruit, honey, etc but DS will only eat yoghurts from pots that are obviously for children - you know, the ones in bright colours with cartoon pics on and such. Have tried saving the cartoon cups and putting my own yoghurt in them but he sussed that right away and refused to eat it. He really loves the children's yoghurts and fromage frais but is there such a thing as a healthy brand that doesn't have tons of sugar?

Can you get him to choose a special cup with a cartoon character on it for yoghurt and wean him onto healthier ones by mixing his current faves with Yeo Valley or similar?

Are the organic ones like Rachel's or Yeo Valley any better? But I don't think they have cartoons on the pots. Tbh I'd try and persevere with giving him natural mixed with fruit - would he try it out of a funky little lidded pot bought specially for him?

Not sure about how much sugar but Yeo Valley do both adults & kids organic yummy yoghurt (also free from artificial crap & sweetners). Can't always get it though - usually can in Sainsubry's but Tesco & Morrisons seem to have it sometimes & not others.

Sainsburys do organic yoghurts with Noddy & co on the lids. Since I switched from coloured crap to organic yoghurts he's decided to give up yoghurts altogether!

Rachel Organic ones don't have sugar but are sweetened with fruit juice. Dd loves them.

Yeo Valley Kids yoghurts - I think the pots are pretty bright & appealing - they have cartoon cows on and puzzles on the inside of the cardboard wrapping.

Will try the special pot idea and I like the idea of cutting it with his current faves to change it slowly. He's so used to the sugary sweetness now but maybe if I do it slowly it'll be less noticeable. Hadn't thought of that!

I haven't seen the Yeo Valley ones or the Rachel's organic. Are the Rachel's ones in individual pots? I've bought her large pots and love them myself but I didn't realise there were children's yoghurts too. Will definitely look for them.

Cut the indulging tex. Who is in charge-you or him????

The Rachels ones are in little pots - Sainsbury's do them. The Yeo Valley ones are in more kiddie-attractive pots IYSWIM. Good luck!
