Low fat natural yogurt question......

[Muffintopp]

Yesterday I TRIED to have alpen, with sliced banana and low fat natural yogurt.

I say I tried as I failed. The yogurt was so tart I had tears comign down my face.
Is there anything I can do to make it less tart.
I used asda own. Is there a different make I could try that is less tart.

TIA

Michelle

Oh I've never had that but I quite like sharp flavours so maybe haven't noticed. I use Asda and Tesco usually but I would say the Onken FF is generally more mild - their vanilla one is lovely. Failing that, a sprinkle of sweetner to take the edge off?

Hi Michelle

I usually have it with the chopped up banana and grapes which are both quite sweet to the sour yoghurt complements the juicy fruit

I think plain natural LF yoghurt is an aquired tastes, when i was a teenager i couldnt stand the stuff but now I really like it!

Thank you beegee.....i dont have a very adventurous pallette so perhaps that is the problem...lol. Will try the onken

 

[Muffintopp]

Thanks BeckyT, perhaps I just need to man up and get used to it...lol

Natural yoghurt is tart because it doesn't have the sweeteners in it and if you're use to that sweetness being there is will come as a surprise.
Try Total 0% greek yoghurt - that's much easier on the palate.

I buy Aldi ff yogurt & don't find it tart. You could experiement with different varieties.

Some are worse than others. I used to spinkle some Splenda in mine but now dont bother. I use the natural fat free fromage frais and find that a lot less tart.

Try the Onken one FF.. It is very nice. It says it is mild. Tastes lovely.

I always put a spoon of sweetner on mine too. Much more palatable.

Eh now? Get me the dictionary! What the hell does 'tart' mean in yogurt context?

To me 'tart' means something different.

Do you mean sour?

Collins dictionary definition of tart:

tart (adj) (of a flavour, food, etc.) sour, acid or astringent

I agree with Circes, try 0% Greek yoghurt, it is lovely, has a thick, creamy taste to it, and is delicious with a little bit of honey (1 syn per tsp).

Well you learn something new everyday! xx

Indeed you do, and I consider a day when I don't learn something new to be a day wasted. However much we think we know, there is always something new out there!

I agree - try Total 0% - its very different from normal plain yogurt which I can't eat, but I love Total.

I always put a bit of sweetner in mine to take the tart taste away!
