so many yoghurts !!!

Full fat plain, whichever has the lowest carbohydrates too. Dentist told me years ago to avoid fruit yogurt, vinegar and wine.
I can manage 2 out of 3

Full fat plain greek yogurt is very very nice. And needs nothing much else. Put spoon in the tub and eat it. I CBA to make my own.

Janeainsworth, we must be twins.
I only eat food that is full of everything. Well, fat and sugar anyway.
Fabricated food is not good for you. I’m fit and slim(ish) a bit wobbly in certain areas.
I have mine with crushed weetabix and fruit, mainly rhubarb, for breakfast. FYI organic weetabix doesn’t crunch easily!

They are pretty small pots and if you eat only one per day – or fewer – that's probably okay. Alternatively, if you buy one of the big pots, give yourself smallish servings each time – and no more than one a day. You don't need stuff to keep your gut healthy unless you have serious digestive problems or have recently had a major course of antibiotics. Gut bacteria are good at taking care of guts themselves.

If you're worried about sugar and your teeth, brush them after eating yogurt,

I am all in favour of "healthy eating" and have written about it and created many "healthy" recipes over the years. However, I do think it is important not to become obsessive – I am not accusing you travelsafar, just making a general comment.

Several differently coloured vegetables on the plate is an easy way to guarantee a fairly balanced intake of vitamins, for example. Maybe one vegetarian meal a week would be a good idea if you are a meat eater. Fish, once or twice a week, although the mercury found in oily fish – the ones with the accessible omega 3 – is a concern. Fruit, in spite of or maybe because of the fructose, is a good snack – and not too many cakes and biscuits.

To add another one into the mix - Alpro no dairy vanilla or coconut yoghurts are yummy stirred into porridge ( made with almond milk). Good if you are trying to avoid/ cut down on dairy.

absent- have you ever read Tim Spectre’s book, The Diet Myth?

I really love Oykos yogurts, "Greek style" they claim to be, style being the operative word, nothing like as healthy as actual Greek yogurt as they are no doubt full of sugar. However, I don't have them every day maybe a couple a week, I particularly love the raspberry ones and husband has a penchant for the blueberry flavour. I might add that I do have the real deal as well in my fridge most of the time, Fage Greek yogurt, very thick and really nice with runny honey and a bit of granola on the top.

I never really liked yogurt that much when it was launched back in the dim and distant past, particularly those Ski ones, "nasty" as Trump as prone to declare quite frequently!

We have the Yeo Valley natural yogurts. It's just - yogurt. It's nice.

I used to love those Muller ones with a separate little corner fenced off for some jam. But I have allowed myself to be forced into submission by the healthy eating brigade.

Maybe I'll break out. And say sod it.

DH likes those Muller corner ones - his cholesterol is fine, better than mine!

I try not to eat anything with artificial sweeteners even though constantly trying to lose weight. Also I only use organic dairy stuff so it’s Yeo Valley natural or independent farm Nat yogurt for us

how about a good plain yogurt, avoid no fat, or very low.
greek is nice, avoid extra flavourings/honey.
Lidl some in large pots with a handle, and they sell a lot.
i would caution against brushing one's teeth after eating sweet things, or acidic, that can cause erosion.
best to finish meal with something else, eg cheese as alkaline, or nuts plain, and or rinse with water or alcohol-free mouthwash.
do not brush immediately after eating, better to do so before, to make the teeth smooth, so less food particles adhere to the surface.
if you brush immediately afterwards it will be like scrubbing the front step, acid from the food combines with pressure from the brush, wears away the surface.

Teeth Police out today ???

My understanding is that some of the best yogurts are low-sugar. I'd also suggest that Greek yogurt is healthier, because of the way it is made. I don't know if you're aware of this, but Greek yogurt is actually strained through muslin. This makes it creamier and also results in a higher protein content.

Plain Greek yogurt can also be used as a healthy alternative to sour cream.

Just buy the yohgurt you actually want - no dramas.

Fage yoghurt for us. Breakfast is....Porridge, berries, tiny drop of honey, large dollop of Fage and sprinkle of cinnamon.

No yoghourt - ever. It makes me feel sick.

DH eats full fat plain yoghourt and adds flavouring. He uses it like custard or cream putting it on stewed fruit, in fact almost any dessert and cereal.

Lidl de luxe are delicious.

Longley Farm yogurts are the best you can get, Morrisons stock them. The hazelnut one is amazing.

I've settled on a large pot of Greek yoghurt that lasts me 4-5 days and I add a variety of fruit either fresh or frozen. It works out a lot cheaper.

I use the 0% fat authentic Greek yoghurt with added bacteria. I first used this when I ate it to combat a bladder infection. Since then I have had it every day on top of my oats. Told my sister in law about it who was also suffering from reoccurrences of same thing. She still has it every day and after a year we have both been free of bladder infections. (Cross fingers)

We used to eat my favourite (Yeo, plain, full-fat) yogurt every day with porridge. But now DH makes kefir (which is much easier to make than when we tried making yogurt at home) so we have that instead. Still buy Yeo for guests, though. Good stuff.

I was just about to mention Longley Farm yoghurt myself. I grew up eating those, and have yet to find any I like as much.
My favourite ever was their lemon one. So tangy!

To be honest, as I haven't lived in Yorkshire since I was 18, finding any flavour of Longley Farm yoghurt is a rare treat, but I haven't seen a lemon one for at least 15 years - not even when back up north visiting my mum.
