Fat free strawberry quark

If you’re looking to lower carbs, most members here eat higher fat than this or there’s no energy source. I buy full fat versions of yoghurts etc... these days.
 
All the fat free flavoured quark I've seen contains starch, used as a thickener, in addition to sugar.
I would rather have fat than added starch.

If you like quark maybe you could buy unflavoured/unthickened and add some berries plus a little sweetener?
Otherwise, try some real Greek yogurt (not greek style as that has more carbs). I have this most evenings with fresh raspberries.
 
I looked it up on the Tescos website:

Ingredients
Quark Skimmed Milk Soft Cheese, Strawberry (6%), Water, Cornflour, Natural Strawberry Flavouring, Concentrated Lemon Juice, Concentrated Black Carrot and Carrot Juice, Sweeteners (Acesulfame K, Sucralose).

I would never say never but my prefered alternative would be 10% fat Greek yog, preferably sheep's milk, and if I wanted fruit flavouring on it, I would go for an actual strawberry. But then I don't get on very well with the sweeteners mentioned in the ingredients list. Maybe as a one off? But not regularly, for me, my body, and my circumstances.

I don't understand what the attraction is. If I wanted a little protein with no carbs or fat, then I would eat some chicken breast.
But usually I want some fat to both give flavour and to keep me feeling satiated,

Not every eats meat.
Not everyone breaks food down into “I want protein”.
 
Again I try go for full fat Greek but occasionally I do have a pot of something like this or the high protein yoghurts for variety mainly. I add as much double cream as fits in the top of the pot and stir it through first to make it more filling though.
 
Thanks for the advice and ideasofadding creams. Just sick of proteins and nuts sometimes.
 

I do that too
