After discovering the amazing offer on the Müller Light yoghurts at Asda a few weeks back, with their '12 for £3' deal, I took advantage of this great price on several occasions, which gave me the chance to sample my way through each yoghurt flavour they had available. After a mix of opinion and experiences, I have managed to conclude my most preferred flavour; which is none other than the marvellous Mandarin Müller Light option!
***** When I first decided to sit myself down with the Mandarin yoghurt after my sandwich, I wasn't sure what to expect; I had never tasted mandarins before. I imagined it tasted perhaps slightly like oranges, but that was basing it purely on the image of the segments which could be seen on the foil lid of the pot. The only way to find out if I was correct or not was to open it up and find out! As I pulled back the lid (not showered with yoghurt for once!), I was immediately hit with the strong aroma of orange. This was merely making the pudding seem more tempting and appetizing than before, and assured me of its unknown taste all the more.
After discarding the lid, I peered into the pot to examine the contents. The yoghurt itself was exceptionally pale in colour. It appeared to have unsightly pieces of shredded carrot mixed through it (though thankfully it was just tiny pieces of mandarin). Fortunately, I was not put off by this gruesome
form, and my craving kept hold of my appetite. There was no way I could not indulge in my dessert now I was even more sure that it would taste as pleasant as orange!
Was it going to be a delight to eat though? Up until then I had only imagined its flavour. It was time to put my curiosity at rest and carry out the good old 'taste test'. I scooped up a healthy serving on my spoon and shovelled it into my mouth. Now the first think that I found striking was not the taste, but in actual fact was the texture! I imagined it would be quite 'bitty' and irritable, considering they pieces of mandarin were so visible, but it turned out to be exceptionally smooth and creamy! As for the taste, well it seemed to resemble more of a lemon zest than an orange! Since sampling this yoghurt, I have tried mandarins themselves, and the taste is very much similar, but I am more familiar with that of the lemon and find it is a much simpler way to imagine and help describe its rich and scrumptious flavour!
The experience with eating a Mandarin Müller Light is quite unique, certainly not a taste like any other yoghurt I have tried!

If you've seen the Müller adverts, then you will be aware that they suggest swapping any regular yoghurts you eat for one of the great Müller options; a healthier alternative. But just how good for you are Mandarin Müller Lights?
Each 200g pot contains; 104 calories 16.4g carbohydrates (15g sugars) 0.2g fat
The main ingredients include; yoghurt, mandarin, mandarin juice from concentrate, water, fructose, modified maize starch, gelatine, citric acid, flavourings, stabilisers (pectins), sweetener (aspartame).
Well, looking at the nutrition, the calorie and fat content are very promising, but perhaps the sugar levels in it are slightly high, but when compared with other yoghurts, it's quite reasonable! As for the ingredients, they seem quite simple, though I know many people do not like consuming aspartame! Personally, I have no issues with it!
Müller
Muller is a company which manufacture yoghurts, first set up by Ludwig Muller in 1896. Now, the business is run by his Grandson, who makes sure that yoghurts are provided to feed the hunger of Europe! After such a success with the dairy yoghurt products, they soon launched a Muller Rice range, which were equally loved. Later in the 80s, followed the popular Muller Corner range! From then, the family business continued to churn out new ideas and varieties of snacks and desserts, each one as delicious and appealing as the next! Muller currently provides us with 8 different snack options to choose from; *amore *corner *little stars *Muller rice *one a day *vitality *Cadburys *Muller light
Muller provides a wide variety of yoghurts and drinks to help keep the nation happy and healthy, with something to suit everybody!
Müller Light
Despite all their great options and snacks, Muller Light is most definitely my favourite yoghurt option, and there isn't a day that goes by now without me having one - fortunately, they are quite healthy! You cannot possibly get bored with the taste either, as they offer such a variety of flavours and experiences for you to devour!
They do the Fruity range; this included flavours like Apricot, Blueberry, and Rhubarb. There's the Smooth range; yoghurt without 'bits'! They do flavours such as toffee, and banana and custard! The newest edition is the Fruit Layers- yoghurt with layers of fruit puree through the bottom! They're delicious, especially the Peach and Passionfruit option!
Would I Recommend?
When considering the Müller and Müller Light range as a whole, I have absolutely no problem in recommending their splendid products. Looking more specifically at the Mandarin Light yoghurt, I can do no less than highly recommend! Of course, since it is one of my favourites, my opinion may be slightly biased, but weighing up the factors, it really is a great yoghurt!
Because of the low calorie and fat content, it could be seen as a great treat for dieters, depending on what regime they are following of course! It's a nice size too, filling you up after consuming to prevent any snacking later on! Although it may not be the ideal yoghurt for lunchboxes, it's a great snack for children to indulge in when they come home, 'starving' from a tough day at school, rather than filling themselves up on sweets and various other 'junk foods!'. Light yoghurts are also a superb means of calcium too, to ensure strong and healthy bones!
With its splendid texture and appetising smell, the only reason I would not recommend this yoghurt is if the taste disagrees with you. Though if you enjoy the taste of oranges and lemons, then this is definitely the dairy dessert for you!
***** Since sampling this flavour for the first time, I have enjoyed it on more than one occasion, and it's almost guaranteed that I will be devouring a few more pots of Mandarin Müller Light before long!
