Yogurts-any good alternatives to the natural stuff?

8 replies

Hi all, just started weaning my LO and introduced her to natural bio yogurt today. She managed a spoonful or two but pulled some very odd facial expressions at which point I thought it can't be that bad so I tried it and ended up pulling the same faces (maybe it's an acquired taste-I have to admit to having a sweet tooth) What I'd like to know is whether there are any good alternatives to the natural stuff that are not packed with sugar. Would love to know if you have any suggestions as I am trying to come up with healthy snack choices. Thank you

The Rachael's dairy ones are just organic yoghurt with fruit puree mixed in. No sugar.

Just mix some homemade fruit puree in with the natural yoghurt to flavour it. DS1 hates natural yoghurt. DS2 only had natural yoghurt to start off with and loves it - he likes petit filous too but 9 times out of 10 would chose natural yoghurt.

We eat tons of Greek (style) yogurt, it's creamier and less sharp. With fruit mixed in with it, normally, either stewed or squashed up banana.

ds has always had the baby plum yoghurts, they're fruit & fromage frais, they were the only ones I could find with absolutely nothing added. He loves them Smile

We're using the muller little stars. Are they bad?
I am clearly clueless!!

I think the Little Yeo ones have only fruit juice or puree to sweeten too.

All the wee yoghurts seem to taste quite sweet though!

We normally try to get teh Plum Baby or Little Yeo ones.

Think the Muller ones have a wee bit less sugar than the like of Petit Filous, but there's not much in it.

Not got time to google ingredients and check, sorry.:)
