Default Weight watchers yoghurts

I have a question - where can I buy WW fromage frais/yoghurts? Tried Coles and Woolies.

Another thing - I am vegetarian and I noticed that a lot of ice creams and yoghurts have halal gelatine in them. So I can't eat them. Also, I bought some plain youghurt the other day from Woolies and the sell by date on that was 10/06/07!!!!

So, now everything gets checked before it goes in my shopping basket.

I have found that they don't market WW yoghurts as WW here. I think it is the Nestle yoghurts that have the WW points marked on them, they are in yellow pots.

Have you tried the So Good Soya Bliss frozen dessert (I suppose they can't really call it ice cream). Give it a go, its really nice. I even gave Steve some and he didn't complain!

just checked the contents and can't find any gelatine in it - it has vegetable gums.

Shirley

Oh, and its 97% fat free.

Don't know about yoghurts, but just be aware, lots of things i buy from Coles seem to be out of date within days or already out of date.:curse:

Thanks everyone. I will try the Soya frozen yoghurt. I like soya products anyway. And if they are low in fat, even better.

Have you checked the ingredients on the WW yogs? I don't buy them in the UK coz am a veggie and they have gelatine in! Or am I mistaken?
Hope you enjoy trying all the suggestions people have posted!
And good luck with your weight loss and maintenance - I've lost a stone of baby weight with WW and got another stone to go!

Thanks everyone.

I found Jalna yoghurt, apparently free of all additives, etc. I quite like the taste of that.

I didn't know that WW yoghurts had gelatine I never think of youghurts having anything other than cultures and milk as my mum always mad her own yoghurt everyday. I should give that a try and that I know that it is safe for me to eat.

Another thing... someone told me yesterday that some animal products are used in wine! Is that true? I can understand that they might in red wine but what about white wine? I hardly drink but the odd glass of wine once every couple of weeks is enjoyed by me. Enlighten me, someone, please.

Vaalia is also a very nice yoghurt and has the friendly bacterias ABC

Cheap cask wine may contain traces of egg, milk as far as I know, and will be on the cask in small print. Something to do with equipment used in the process I think. Most bottled wine contains none. Always read the labels carefully is my advice.
