The 170ml pots have been made especially so that can just pick your favourite and enjoy it straight from the tub. They come with delicious swirls of sauce and toppings combined with creamy frozen-yoghurt.

Dark chocolate frozen yoghurt milkshake and Yog frozen yoghurts review

Refreshing and delicious fat free chocolatey dark chocolate yoghurt milkshake to tickle and tantalise you taste buds 

Ingredients:

1  tub of Dark chocolate Yog yoghurt (114g)

125 ml chilled skimmed milk

Method:

1.Place the yoghurt and the milk in a blender jug and blend together until smooth and creamy.

2. Pour into two serving glasses and serve immediately.

With the warm weather, it’s hard to keep cool so we tend to indulge in chilled desserts. Ice-creams can be very calorific and although very tasty can add on piles of calories to your intake.

Yog frozen yoghurts are an alternative to high calorie ice-creams which are made with cream and sugars. Yog yoghurts are fat free, gluten free and are made with natural ingredients. They are pro-biotic and contain healthy cultures which in turn help to balance the friendly bacteria that are found in our gut. This means that they aid your digestion and help to improve your immune system too.

I was recently sent some tasty Yog yoghurt samples, in flavours such as plain, dark chocolate, passion fruit, pomegranate and summer berries. The yoghurts have a creamy tangy taste and only have 116 kcal per 100 gram serving making them both healthy and simply delicious. My favourite flavour was definitely the passion fruit it tasted of the tropics.The take home packs are available in supermarkets and are available in two sizes 415 g and 114g. For a on the go tasty treat whilst shopping or indulgence at the cinema you can also purchase Yog yoghurts at shopping centres and cinemas at the Yog outlets.

The yoghurts can be eaten without feeling guilty with your favourite topping such as fruits, nuts, honey and fruit coulis or you can blend with some skimmed milk to make a smooth, creamy and tasty milkshakes. You can even eat them for breakfast  as they are fat free and  healthy.

Thank you to Yog for sending me these wonderful fat free yoghurts to sample. All the views and opinions in this post are my own.
