Making 0% yogurt taste edible

Any tips on this? The only way I can bear it is if I mix it with full fat natural yogurt.
Anyone got any other ideas?

I thought recent advice was to steer clear off fat reduced foods as they tend to be full of sugars. Certainly mixing in honey seems to defeat the purpose. Full fat yoghurt tastes nice and is healthy and will be more filling. All this 0% stuff is the work of the devil! There’s a reason it tastes vile.

We are talking about natural, no added sugar yogurt not diet fruit yogurt

A pot of 0% natural yogurt is a free food on WWflex - 78cals

A pot of full fat natural yogurt is 9 points and over double the calories - 185cals

I have just discovered passion fruit and use this on top of yog or I mix it with lemon juice and pour over mixed fruit. It's delicious.

I buy Skyr, not plain 0% yog.

I buy the Aldi fat free Greek yogurt and it’s lovely. I pop some frozen fruit in it overnight and it sweetened it up. Or I use some points/syn foe honey

I also put chopped up citrus fruit in it overnight and that’s bloody lovely - grapefruit, orange etc

I actually still have the full fat or 2% (Greek) yoghurt. I just use points to cover it. I also still use oil and butter. I just can't go low everything so I'd rather have loads of fruit and veg and chicken etc with 'real' dairy and fats!

And it is COMPLETELY true to say that fat free is higher in carbs and therefore higher in sugars! Check the difference in carb count on skimmed milk vs double cream or full fat vs 0% yoghurt.

The low fat is still overall lower in calories because fat has a calorie count obviously but it doesn't mean it's less healthy on all fronts!

Teaspoon of sweetener and dash of lo-cal vanilla syrup cheers it up.

I also do savoury and add mint sauce and sweetener to eat with popadoms.
