Where's the yogurts

Everytime I go shopping it's the same, the search for a fruit yogurt. I find the flippy ones, protein ones, ones for cholesterol but just no tart tangy ones

Biscuitmuncher..where are you in the country ? If you go to Longley farm website it gives you a map of all areas it's sold in, all over the country, not just here in Yorkshire.

nearly all the flavoured /protein/lo-fat ones are full of thickeners and way too much sugar. M & S particularly bad, but I think all their food is over-processed, designed to remove what little confidence the UK had in its culinary ability!

Another vote for Yeo Yoghurts. The lemon one is delicious, if you like lemon but I noticed cream was added, so I ration myself!

Does anyone remember Ski Yogurts? Very exotic in the 1960s.

I go lactose free and Alpro Coconut yogurt is my favourite and yummy.
I don't mind the sugar content. It's artificial sweeteners I want to avoid.
I eat it with different fruits.

Sainsbury's Taste the Difference yogurts are good. I like the lemon one. It's very tangy. The honey and ginger is tasty too. Other fruit flavours are available in the Taste the Difference range.

I was brought up to yogurt since I was 8 yrs of age.
As we lived near Dover and my father spoke French he would take us across to France where he enjoyed the French cheese, for me ‘The Laughing Cow soft cheese and Danone yogur, one of the only main yogurts in those days when there were no fruit yogurts.
I now love to have a yogurt every day usually the Algo sugar free yogurt.

I don't eat much yoghurt but when I do it's Yeo Valley, Rachel's or River Cottage. It has to be organic. Of course the sugar content is important but far more so, at least to me, is what's been happening to the dairy cows that produce it.

Yes, Rachel's too - if you can find them.

I used to like Langage Farm yogurt (it was local to us years ago before we moved) but haven't seen any for some time.

Oykos, yes I agree * Jaxjacky* delicious.

I like them all but my favourite is Peach, was lemon a limited edition we bought it a couple but haven’t seen them for a while.

I miss the good old fashioned yogurts, 70’s style. No fancy syrups, sprinkles, chocolate rubbish etc. same with ice cream. I’m insulin dependent, but even prior to that I wanted lower sugar, not ‘removed sugar’ or low fat for that matter!! I think I’ll take advice from here and add fresh fruit to a good old plain yogurt.

Hard to find full fat yogurs or cottage cheese. The others are processed I thimk.

Did you notice the sugar content shoppingirl?

I've bought those and no, I didn't!

I'd avoid anything with artificial sweeteners though.

I buy plain yoghurt and add fruit, often frozen.

poppysmum Mon 18-May-26 15:28:14

Co-op lemon yoghurt is really tangy and fruity i am addicted to it!

Bonne Maman, the jam makers, have just brought out a range of gorgeous fruit yoghurts. I had rhubarb and strawberry yesterday and it was lovely!

silverlining48 Mon 18-May-26 14:40:36

I always check the sugar content, sine are eye watering ply sugar heavy.
Have been buying kefir yog from Aldi but haven’t had it in these last two weeks.

Vintagegirl Mon 18-May-26 14:33:09

Aldi

Milliedog Mon 18-May-26 14:11:13

I check the ingredients and avoid anything with sugar / artificial sweeteners. Mostly now, i eat Kefir yoghurt and add maple syrup (Yes. I know, but it's not artificial and I don't add much)

Oykos ....

What an incredible co-incidence!

Lemon yesterday.
So delicious.

They had great yoghurts and fromage frais in Dordogne. Sadly not in UK.

rowyn Mon 18-May-26 13:42:52

And you can get them in Asda in Berkshire too. Lemon one is good, as is black cherry, but seem to be missing my favorite recently -ginger !

Allira Mon 18-May-26 09:52:29

I like the small pots of Yeo Valley fruit yogurts but they are becoming more difficult to find, apart from the kefir ones which I dislike.

NotSpaghetti Mon 18-May-26 09:49:36

I only buy plain yogurt but Yeo Valley do fruit ones - including lemononrs and blackberry ones.
Some of the more upmarket ones are apparently tangy - usually in glass jars.

I had a Morrisons "the best" sicilian lemon about a year ago which was good.

They definitely are out there!

Try Yeo Valley organic raspberry keffir Yoghourt. I’ve just had one this morning and it was lovely and tangy, just like they used to be when they first arrived here back in the 60’s. Now so many are jam packed with sugar.
