At just 4g of total carb per small scoop....I am enjoying dinner

Holland and Barrett or Waitrose £5.99 per tub, a lovely treat.

Which brand? Is it the Oppo? That's only 7.1g per 100g if so its 3 for 2 at the moment...!

Where can you get the 3 for 2?

Yes exactly correct and I had a smallish scoop - measured at about 60ml so about 4g...will see what it does to me overnight... with FBG tomorrow morning

I had tried making home made frozen yoghurt using Alpro.. but it tasted like pap while freezing and then froze into a solid lump even after multiple stirrings. so not my most successful attempt. I think I read somewhere that freezing causes the flavours to reduce so that may explain the nasty taste.
 
This Waitrose promo is going to sell out quickly...haha Mine is 5 miles

While you're all at Waitrose, get some Vogel's Soy and Linseed bread, it's a little higher carbs than Burgen (14.3g per slice, but 2.8g fibre) but it's so much nicer. And if you want a high fat treat and don't mind shelling out £3+ for it, get a Burrata, it's basically a mozzarella bag filled with cream and it's just fabulous - try it with strawberries and a bit of balsamic vinegar and black pepper, I'm lucky enough to work near a Waitrose and we get Vogel's at weekends and have a couple of slices with marmalade then cycle off into the distance to burn it off.
 

That Burrata soundes terrific, I'll check it out when collecting my Oppo

Headline in the Daily Mail "Mass stampede at Waitrose branches today as diabetics rushed to buy all the Oppo ice cream on the 3 for 2 offer"

You can just imagine the subtext - all diabetics crave sugar LOL

Interesting they failed on Dragons Den due to the apparent 'aftertaste' - Personally love the salted caramel, and a tub last around 2 weeks! Everything in moderation
