Have you moved here from Northern Ireland or are you one of the lucky ones who have a second home here,

0% Cremoso natural Edulcorado

OK, fancied something different in the yoghurt section, came across a pink and white tub

0% cremoso natural Edulcorado

Per 100g
41 kcal
proteinas 4.7g
hidratos de carbano 5.3g
de los cuales azucares 4.3g
geasas 0.1g
de las cuales saturadas <0.1g
fibras 0g

so would this be classed as a free food?

Its like fromage frais (queso freso batido) but sweetened.

I hope its free, I have just made a roulade with it!

Another question, does anyone buy 0% Greek Yoghurt out here and if you do where do you buy it? Mercadona seems to have 3 different ones, 2 plain full fat, the other with "bits in".

Only in Iceland..............

Just to let you all know that Alpen Light are on offer in Iceland 1.65€ per pack, Heinz X Light Salad Cream is down to 2.65€ and Muller Lights are still at 5 for 2€ if it helps

Thanks for info toliveordiet? - doing our monthly trip to Iceland tomorrow so will have a wee look.

suespain - it should be free as it's 0% fat. But you never can tell - just look at HexB! SW make one sort of pitta free but not another sort that has exactly the same profile. I'd do a "tweak" on this and take it as free!

and it has no sugar in it so it should be free.

Hi Folks,

Well it's a good job that the Uncle Ben's Rice Times aren't on offer in Iceland any more since SW have just decided that they are about 9 syns per pot I only found out the Sweet & Sour were free 2 weeks ago and stocked up. Now I'll have to give them all to my Mum coz I'm not sacrificing all my syns for the day on one of them!!

Hiya chica - welcome to our little Spanish team. Where abouts are you hun?

If you mean pure soya then that ain't so easy. Not many places stock it. If you have a big chinese food warehouse near you then you may be able to get it there.
(I know there is one in Torrevieja on the Southern Costa Blanca that has it & Tofu).

Otherwise you can get a few quorn products in Iceland if you have one of those. Otherwise you're a bit stuck!

Soya milk is freely available in most supermarkets - Mercadona certainly have it.

What Be said is true. We need to know where you are living to help you.

Found some soya protein in Eroski granada yesterday and can get quorn (very expensive) from the english shop nearby. I can survive on veggies though.

There are Icelands at Puerto Banus and Mijas if you ever go dowbn onto the Costa del Sol. Quorn will be much cheaper there!
