Is this Greek yogurt low Carb?

[B17_Fan]

I've just discovered lactose free strawberry Greek yogurt in asda, but I don't know if it's suitable for a low Carb diet. I've only seen plain Greek yogurts recommended. Would this be OK?

ASDA Lactose Free Greek Yogurt - ASDA Groceries

Looks like 4.4g of carbs per 100g so I would say yes, but happy to be corrected by others more knowledgeable if I'm wrong.

The one you provided a link to would be fine but the strawberry version which is what B17 was asking about is quite high

Ah I didn't realise they did a plain one. Only saw the strawberry one in store

Oops yes, just googled asda lactose free yoghurt and only saw the plain one. I agree 10g per 100g might be pushing it...

How about buying plain greek yogurt, and addind your own berries?
I buy frozen raspberries and strawberries to add to mine.

Without the sugar and starch added to the strawberry yoghurt, it would probably be OK, but as in so many cases, buying the plain one and adding your own berries is a better option

As others have said better to add your own berries - you get a lot of raspberries/strawberries for the saved 6g carbs and avoid the gunk in the flavoured yoghurt.

And if you have a blender you can add frozen berries and end up with delicious ice cream (add whipped cream for extra yumminess).

Something you should be aware of too, is that this is a 450g pot, so while the carbs per 100g are OK, if you intend to eat it all in one go, the actual total carb content is closer to 20g.

Gosh I couldn't eat it all in one go! Lol think I'd be sick!

Yesterday I bought a lactose free plain yogurt in Morrison's. I tried some, but found it too sweet. So def wouldn't want to add berries to it.

I still stick with the lovely Greek yogurt from Lidl.

 

[Outlier]

That's what I get too.

Hi there - Are you actually lactose intolerant, or are you trying to trim back the carbs that way?

If you tolerate lactose, why not just go with ordinary plain Greek yoghurt (or that of your choice)? I find it mush simplet to keep my food choices simple, although being strictly gluten-free that introduces an extra element, albeit mainly with packaged goods, because I just avoid the grains etc., containing gluten.
