Rachels Organic Lucious Low Fat Bio-Live Rhubarb Yogurt

I love yoghurts and recently i've been good with what I am eating and rather than reaching for a tub of ice cream and eating it all when I have a sweet crave i’ve been reaching for yoghurts. As a treat I decided I would buy one of the more expensive yoghurts that I saw on the shelf of Tesco which was this one from ‘Rachel’s ’, the organic low fat rhubarb bio-live yoghurt, having such a posh name I thought it was bound to taste nice!

A bit about ‘Rachel’s’

Rachel’s is a brand that specialises in organic yoghurts, desserts and other diary products. They were Britain’s first ever certified organic dairy and are dedicated to only using the very best organic ingredients.

Packaging

This yoghurt is one from the big pot yoghurt range, it is 450g. I like having big pots not because im greedy and sit there eating the whole thing, well sometimes, but the majority of the time I have a bit at a time and keep the remainder in the fridge.

The design of the packaging is quite plain with a splash of colour, it is very to the point and I think it adds to the organic nature of the product.

As I mentioned before I usually keep big pots for a few days. I had this round my other half’s house and then drove back to mine with half a pot left. The lid is very secure and there was no spillages.

All of the necessary information you may need such as ingredients and nutiritional information is displayed clearly on the back of the packaging.

Eating the yoghurt

I was initially suprised at the colour of the yoghurt, in my mind I thought it would be pink like rhubarb but it is more of a white colour. You can see plenty of chunky pieces of rhubarb all swirled in with the yoghurt.

There is not much of a scent to this product at all. The rhubarb element is only very slight with the smell of the natural yoghurt overriding it dramatically.

The first spoonful I tried of this yoghurt did not have any chunky pieces of rhubarb in. The yoghurt itself is very smooth and does have a nice natural and refreshing taste to it.

It wasn’t until I had a spoonfull with a big piece of rhubarb on that I could taste and recognise the rhubarb flavour. It is a nice addtion to the yoghurt and is not really sweet at all. This would be perfect for those who do not have an overlly sweet tooth.

For my own personal preference I think this yoghurt would be better with slightly more rhubarb as I think it could do with just that little bit extra taste.

Price and availability

This can be found in various supermarkets priced at around £1.75 and it is often on offer.

Conclusion

Yes I think this is a nice yoghurt but do I think it is worth the £1.75, not really. I would buy this yoghurt if it was on offer as it has a nice taste especially for one of the lower fat alternatives however I do think it is a bit expensive. If it was about 50p cheaper I think it would be a good buy. For that reason I am awarding this product 3 stars.
