    Wow, wow, wow, I am so excited.  Just back from the supermarket and have bought two tubs of yoghurt BLACK SWAN VANILLA BEAN GREEK STYLE NATURAL YOGHURT.

    No sugar added, extra creamy and low fat and extremely palatable too.  Also Low Fat (but who cares). It's thick, set, and just sweet enough to know it isn't plain yoghurt.

    I had tried other yoghurts with the same claim and this is different because it has no artificial sweetener in it either, just good old Vanilla Bean.  The NIP says 5.0g sugars per 100gm so I am guessing (-lactose) the vanilla just adds about 1 gram of sugar to the serve.

    If you are looking for it, I bought it at a large Woolworths (Ashgrove, Bris) and it looks like a tub of margarine more than a yoghurt, there is a blueberry version too but 12g sugar.

    I just ate some with fresh blueberries (also on sale, $3.50!!) flaked almonds and a bit of sliced banana.

    What a great day!

    Hi Sarah, I noticed this yoghurt and tried it as well - you're right, very yummy but beware - it does contain inulin as it's second or third ingredient. There is a great paragraph (or two) on inulin in David's new book - unfortunately it's a chain of fructose molecules that gets broken down in the lower intestine (which is why it can be classified as fibre and not sugar) into those horrible fatty acids! :( Inulin is in everything, it's so sneaky.

    Bugger! I have been eating that too and was relieved to find a yoghurt that was below 8mg/100gs on the label.  I will have to concentrate on more than just the sugar content.

    I use the Barambah natural Organic, and I add dextrose, or just a fruit puree I make myself.

    Making your own is really the best. I got a yoghurt maker from Harvey Norman. Not expensive and easy instructions. Just milk, milk powder and a starter from the best commercial yoghurt.  If you want really thick yoghurt just strain the finished product.

    As well as inulin, the blueberry flavour contains pear juice -- even more than it does blueberries.  V. disappointing.

    Nestle Diet tubs now list their sugars, separate the sucrose, fructose. All flavours have low levels- excellent tastes, too- lemon meringue....yum!
