I've recently discover Total (the brand name) Greek-style yogurt, which comes in regular fat and also fat-free. It has no added sweetener, and even the fat-free is unbelievably creamy. I don't know if/where it's available in the UK, though. Chris 262/143/ (145-150) |

It's made in Greece and imported, so it's allowed to call itself Greek yogurt. I think it gained popularity when so many people started taking their holidays in Greece. I love it - I buy the 0% version for me and the full fat for DH. I have mine with a teaspoon of honey, or on top of fruit, and it's delicious. We also have a variety of brands of "Greek style" yogurt here, which tastes the same but has to be called Greek style because it's not made in Greece. All the large supermarket chains do their own versions of this, but I don't know of any brand but Total that comes in a virtually fat free version.

But I haven't seen it in fruit flavours, and (almost) all natural yogurt sold here is unsweetened. -- Annabel Smyth http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/index.html Website updated 18 July 2004 |

I think you'll find Tesco's Healthy Eating version is almost fat free. Or low enough in fat to be permissible every so often - at the moment, I've got their Bio Yogurt, which is fat-free and delicious. -- Annabel Smyth http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/index.html Website updated 18 July 2004 |

I permit myself anything on my WOE, including full fat Greek yogurt, but I just have to eat a much smaller portion of that so tend to prefer the things that allow me to eat more janice 233/179/133 |
