Many people believe that reaching for low-fat dairy is better for them than the full fat counterpart. This common misconception overlooks the fact that low-fat products substitute the fat with other ingredients such as sugar, artificial sweeteners and bulking agents, in order to replicate the mouthfeel and taste of the full fat versions.
Choosing a good quality full-fat Greek yoghurt which is packed with probiotics, calcium and amino acids, and pairing it with fruit offers a nutritious breakfast base or a simple but delicious desert.
