Yoghurt

I eat loads of full fat plain Greek yoghourt, typically with double cream and defrosted forest fruits (strawberry’s raspberry’s blackberrys). No sugar or sweetner. This keeps the carb consumption low.

I typically buy “Lancashire Farm” by the 1kg pot at 6 grams of carbs per 100grams.

Thanks

P1ckle - Being the earth mother, ultimate housekeeper that I am (and, yes, I an joking there) I make my own yoghurt. That way I know there are no additions, if I haven't made them.

I know people quite successfully use Lidl's own Greek Style yoghurt. It comes in either a 1kg "bucket" or smaller cartons. Aldi do something similar I understand.

Fage, also Greek, is popular.

To be honest, avoiding anything that's marked "low fat" is a step in the right direction in the regard.

Thanks. Had heard skyr was good but wasn’t sure if it was better than full fat Greek.

Strictly speaking, Skyr is a soft cheese, as opposed to a yoghurt. It is high protein, but should be zero fat.

It isn't really carb heavy, but the fatty element of full fat yoghurt helps keep us feeling fuller for longer.
 
I used to make my own yoghurts when I had a cooker with a pilot light. I used to put my iron griddle over the small flame and place a jar of milk powder dissolved in milk on top of it, adding a little yoghurt from a previous batch. Back then I did not concern myself with the carbs in the mixture, just made a batch of it each week. I had access to the fruit used to make the 'yogfruit' added to yoghurts, tinned fruit was mixed with starch and sugar to make a thickener. I preferred to have the fruit without the carbs, so used to sample the fruit as well as the mixture.
 
I also use Lancashire Farm yoghurt I like the taste and texture more than the Greek yogurt
and I eat lots of it with full fat cream to try to put some weight on !

My favourite breakfast:
Yeo organic yogurt, defrosted blackcurrants, extra thick double cream, sprinkle of 100% chocolate & toasted crushed nuts. Fabulous, luxury breakfast!
 
I also buy Lancashire Farm full fat greek yogurt by the bucket (very useful pots for small amounts of paint or gardening) but why do Morrisons stock it in their Asian cold food section along with Paneer and other such products and not in the general yogurt section? I eat it with berries and seeds for breakfast

Hehe. The last two buckets I bought ..... in an Asian store.

I like the taste and texture of Lancashire Farm and it’s reasonably priced.
 
Generally real greek yogurt is slightly lower carb than 'greek style', eg Waitrose Greek yogurt or Fage Total (5%), but there are a couple of good greek style that I've sampled recently (in case the imported stuff gets harder to find this year).
'Dorset Strained Yoghurt' is good but costs a but more,

Lancashire Greek style is nice, but double the carbs of real greek yogurt - more than double Fage Total 5% Greek carbs.

I have had Fage when I can’t get Lancashire Farm but it tends to be a bit more expensive and lacks taste a little.

I did wonder if Lancashire Farm was available outside of Lancashire.
