Top 8 yogurts tested

THERE are a few ways of looking at yogurt as a snack food. On the plus side it is a good way of consuming milk for healthy bone development and it’s better than alternative snack options which are laden with less healthy fats and sugars.

Ideally we should give our children plain yogurt which at its best will naturally be a little sweet. Or try Glenilen, which doesn’t do children’s sizes, to avoid additives, adding seasonal fresh fruit, jam and toasted nuts and seeds for variety.

Get into the habit of putting some from a large, economical, less environmentally damaging carton into a reusable tub which is the right size for each child.
