Flavour your own yoghurt Latest video blog from Kathryn



The fact that Easter is all about chocolate, hot cross buns and simnel cake, makes it quite difficult to avoid indulgences. Which is why I decided to do these home made flavoured yogurts. I love yogurt, and often find it serves to naturally quench a sugar craving. I also love indulgences, and these two recipes are just that. When purchasing a flavoured yogurt from a supermarket did it ever cross your mind to flavour your own yogurt? It is a great way to keep it natural, and nutritionally, its opens up lots of opportunities to get your 5 a day, AND, it’s fun!

With the two recipes below, I have used low fat greek yogurt. If you prefer natural yogurt, by all means substitute, it will work perfectly too. I have chosen chocolate with a very high cocao content, as it contains less sugar and is far more natural. Also, a square of dark chocolate can often quench a chocolate craving far more effectively. The lack of sugar content means that you don’t always instantly crave more and more.

A small hand held blender is massively useful here, If you don’t have one, a normal food processor will do the trick.
