Once again I find myself eating for the purposes of a review, and as if sitting around at home on this site wasn't enough reason to make you put on the pounds. I guess that's why I should be thankful that the product I am reviewing today is of the low fat variety, in Tesco Low Fat Yoghurt. There's a picture of a strawberry on the top as well so I will presume that's the flavour, and oh yeah it does have text saying strawberry on the side so there is the confirmation.
With so many yoghurts to choose from I think the yoghurt companies have to really take notice of the size and shape pots their customers want, as well as making them as healthy as possible. You see to find that all these diet yoghurts aimed at women will come in these pots that hardly dip at all - but are quite large in width - is this some sort of selling point to make people think they're eating less than they are? This yoghurt is 150g in size. Looking around the pot the blue and red are there as the primary colours, and this is first demonstrated in the lid. Whilst the lid is blue, telling you what the product is and the use by date, the bit to pull to open the lid is red. Now that's easy opening. The yoghurt should be used by 30th May as well, so this is quite long lasting.
I would say that the lid of the pot is made from quite a good heavy material, in that it doesn't feel like my finger would go straight through it. You are advised that this product is suitable for vegetarians, but DO NOT FREEZE it so that your vegetarian cousin can eat it when he comes to visit. As typical Tesco products do, it tells you it's nut free but then says it cannot guarentee that the product is nut free. How does it fair on the ingrediants and nutiritional side of things?
Ingrediants: Strawberries and strawberry juice from concentrate (12%), sugar, glucose-fructose syrup, beetroot juice from concentrate, flavouring.

So lets see how this one serve yoghurt serves up. The lid does open easy and typically there is yoghurt stuck to the lid. Leave your nose there for a few seconds and you will begin to smell the strawberry. A vivid pink colour with hits of little red strawberry bits shows that this is no value product. Now with the lid licked clean, I can get into the actual pot, which proves what I was saying earlier about the size of the thing. Put your spoon in vertically and the depth of the yoghurt doesn't even cover half of it. Lucky for all the extra width room in this circular pot.
I've never been a fan of pips and the such in food, eating a product and then getting a nasty surprise in your teeth like that isn't nice. I would say the bits of strawberry in this pot don't effect my enjoyment at all, in fact you hardly know they're there. Perhaps the reason they are there is because they manufacture it in a cheap way, and some bigger bits of strawberry just get left to save cost, I don't know - but they're certainly not big lumps of fruit. As far as the taste of the yoghurt in general goes, I wouldn't say the taste lives up to the colour. Whilist it is nice and pleasent, I would say the strawberry taste is only a hint really compared to some other yoghurts out there on the market. Still, very happy to sit and eat it as an alternate dessert and I doubt it would have you going hunting in the kitchen for more, staying true to its low fat slogan.
The texture of the yoghurt is smooth and quite runny, but no one wants a thick yoghurt. The thicker bits of yoghurt do collect round the side, like they do in most instances. Having almost finished the pot now it's true that the 'strawberry bits' do range in sizes drastically, although there's only one that I think could truly qualify as a 'bit', the rest are completely unnoticeable proving that this is a yoghurt for EVERYONE. Although I don't expect to see the Queen eating it.
Advantages: low fat and full of nuts Disadvantages: strange taste
Review of Tesco incredibly nutty Brazil nut low fat yogurt
Setting the scene:
I was very excited when I saw this (I think) new flavour yogurt at Tesco last week as I love hazelnut yogurts and thought these would be similar but make a nice change.
I purchased 3 and they were about 42p each from memory.
Packaging:
They come in a cardboard tub but quite a chunky tall shaped tub with a plastic pull off lid. The lid comes off very easily - no tugging ... ...you pull up.

Advantages: high standard product at a low low price Disadvantages: there aren't any!
...my regular weekly visit to Tesco and on a venture to break the habit of the 'norm' shop I ventured down the chilled aisle with open eyes on a mission to actually buy a yogurt or 2 for myself and not just for my children.
Being one that doesn't really eat them on a regular basis I scanned the shelves in hoping one would jump out at me in the 'buy me buy me' sense and it did.
Winning Product:
Tesco, Low Fat Black Cherry Yogurt
What Attracted Me ... ...white plastic pot with the Tesco blue and white traditional colours around it with a dark red stripe to the top and a picture of the yummy fruit contained within. A foil lid with the same style and of course the sell by date etc and detailed around the pot are the ingredients, the amounts of salt/fat etc. that it contains, allergy information, storage details and where it is produced.

Advantages: A low fat and low price yoghurt Disadvantages: High in sugar
...I was staring at the Tesco Value yoghurt's, 9p for a 125g pot, which is a single serving.
Seeing as I already buy the Tesco Value wheat biscuits it didn't seem unkind to consider tipping the Tesco Value yoghurt over the top of them so I clicked on the item...in for a penny in for a pound and ordered four to try them out.
I wasn't expecting to get an Amore in disguise so my illusions could not be shattered but when the shopping came and I saw the ... ...trace of sodium.
The Tesco Value strawberry low fat yoghurt seems a little high on sugar to me, so maybe this is one that you wouldn't regularly give to the children but maybe I am wrong.
The taste is as fruity as it could be for the 9 pence price tag and I am happy to occasionally put it on my Weetabix .
In my opinion Tesco have done the very best that they can with their efforts to provide us with a low fat, low cost yoghurt. ...

Advantages: Low Fat Disadvantages: Contains Very Little Real Fruit
...is produced in Germany for Tesco Stores Ltd, Cheshunt, EN8 9SL.
As with all similar products it should be kept refrigerated and is best served chilled, it should be used before the best before date which is shown on the lid.
Conclusion
I find these very tasty and refreshing and at just 17p a time they are excellent value for money. They are also available in multi-packs of six which contain one of each of the six flavours listed above.
I would ...

Advantages: Fruit yogurt in individual tubs and quite cheap in price Disadvantages: High in sugar
...have a cheaper version in Tesco but sometimes cheap means lack of flavour so I’m a coward and stick to what I like best. Probably because it is quite cheap I tend to buy a lot!
+ BAKING IDEA+
I often buy too many yogurts, never knowing who is in or out for meals, I have access to a fridge at work but other members of my family don’t, and as yogurt is so much nicer cold, I end up with an excess. Or my family suddenly decides they are tired of yogurt! ... ...past its use by date, and then I often make Muffins or Yogurt loaf, these are fine for the packed lunch box, breakfast or snack at any time. Natural yogurt can also be added to savoury dishes, but the fruity ones are too sweet.

Reviews which might be of interest for "Tesco Low Fat Yoghurt"
If you go onto Google Images and search 'yoghurt', some of the images that come up are a little...disturbing. It doesn't give yoghurts a good name, but really they are all things wonderful! In fact, on the spot I cannot think of a bad thing to say about a yoghurt! Even if they have a tiny negative, like being pricey or unhealthy, the positives always seem to balance them out! I only hoped this strong word would remain when I set out to try my latest option, in the form of the TescoLowFat Toffee yoghurt!
Tesco do a selection of their own yoghurts in various flavours, a lot of them with 'LowFat' labelled to them. I'm always keen to put these apparently 'healthier' options to the test to see if they are as good as suggested. When I went to choose one to sample next, I don't know why I reached for the toffee one. I do tend to go ...
Advantages: price, taste, aroma, versatility Disadvantages: availability (only in tesco)
Although I am willing to try any yoghurt thrown at me (please don't literally throw them, it will make a hell of a mess!), I do have certain options I prefer to go for when eating the 'same old'. Indeed each of my favourites are lowfat, as I find the yoghurts that are higher in fat rocket in content, and its not the easiest to let lie in the pit of your stomach knowing you've just consumed a lifetimes worth of fat in a short space of time! I keep eating that sort of yoghurt to a minimum, and thankfully one of the latest options I tried was indeed a lowfat option!
Tesco do a variety of their own yoghurts in a lowfat range, with flavours such as toffee, hazelnut and cherry. Having quite liked the toffee option I set out to try another, and stumbled across the strawberry flavour. Being quite a lover of strawberry yoghurts, I decided ...
Advantages: taste, scent, texture, appearance, price Disadvantages: only one flavour
Yoghurts have brands, just like clothes. The Muller of the yoghurts is like Prada clothes, the Danone is the Jane Norman, and Yoplait is to Gucci. However, you also get the 'non brands' of yoghurt. These relate more so to the likes of Primark: cheap priced with low expectations. I took a step away from the high quality brands and ventured to the Primark of yoghurts, preparing myself to sample a Tesco Value yoghurt...
Tesco do stock quite a lot of their own yoghurts, in various forms. There's the lowfat options in flavours such as toffee and cherry, or the Duo Mixes which are cheap versions of Muller Fruit Corners. They are all fairly priced but the cheapest is in their Value range. There is actually only one flavour available here, and this is the strawberry option! Thankfully I usually like strawberry yoghurts, so I was keen to try ...
