Having said that, why do so-called "low-fat" yoghurts *have* to have
artificial sweetener added? It does taste so disgusting.

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.

Yes it is. It's been available here for years - since the 70s or 80s.
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.

It is, and very good it is too! But I haven't seen it in fruit
flavours, and (almost) all natural yogurt sold here is unsweetened.

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.

Thanks Annabel - I'll look for the Tesco one. 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
