Yogurt: a sugar trap

Yoghurt is healthy … right? At least most people think that, and many are unaware of how much sugar some yogurt actually contains. Especially yoghurts in different flavors surprisingly fail in most tests when it comes to the high sugar content in the coveted milk product.

The worst culprits are by far the fruit yoghurts, because they may even contain more sugar than some pudding or rice pudding. So it may happen that in a regular raspberry yoghurt with 250 g content 33 g of sugar are. That’s a lot of ten cubes of sugar .

But natural yogurts are not much better. The producers of these natural yoghurts like to grab in the bag of tricks, in order to give the consumers as healthy as possible product. According to legislation, it is the case that only added sugar has to be listed separately under the ingredients. However, when milk solids are used, which contains much more sugar than natural milk, a natural yoghurt is produced that is sweeter than it should actually be.

Are there any yogurts without sugar? Yes, they exist. In the following paragraph, it is discussed exactly which yoghurt has little sugar and which natural yoghurt gets by without any sugar.

1. First of all, it is always important to take a close look at the respective product details. This makes it very easy to separate the wheat from the chaff and you as a consumer know where you are.

2. However, yogurts, which do not originate from animal products, have proven to be useful. In short: herbal yogurts. Herbal yoghurts, whether it is soy or almond yoghurt, are always far ahead in the sugar comparison. This is mainly due to the fact that milk naturally contains lactose (milk sugar). For vegetable products you have this “problem" However not. Officially you should actually say yogurt alternative, as it is the word yogurt is an animal product. For the sake of simplicity, however, the word yogurt will continue to be used here, even if a vegetable product is meant.

Incidentally, the undisputed number 1 is the soy-yoghurt alternative nature unsweetened by the Alpro brand. This vegetable yogurt is found in most retail chains and contains 0 grams of sugar. No other vegetable yoghurt can match that.

3. Those who prefer to avoid soy products and prefer animal yoghurt should also consider testing products made from goat’s milk. The goat yoghurt nature of Alnatura, for example, contains only 2.1g of sugar per 100g.

Incidentally, goat’s milk differs from human breast milk only in one molecule. This makes it more like human milk than any other milk.

4. Greek-style yoghurts usually have a lower sugar content, but the fat content should be taken into account. It does not matter whether the yoghurt is made from goat’s milk, cow’s milk or sheep’s milk. A high fat content also brings many calories with it.

Conclusion: Yoghurts without sugar are so difficult to find, but if you look around among the vegetable yogurt alternatives, there is definitely a yogurt with very little sugar.

To make your own natural yogurt, you only need two things: one liter of milk and 150 grams of yogurt (preferably 3.5% fat). The yoghurt is only needed because of the bacteria that are part of every yoghurt production.

1. Heat the milk in a saucepan and keep it at 90 ° C for five minutes, stirring constantly

2. Allow the milk to cool until it reaches about 50 ° C

3. Stir yogurt under the milk

4. Fill the mixture into glasses

5. Leave glasses at 50 ° C in the oven (on a middle rack) for half an hour

6. Turn off the oven and leave the glasses in the oven overnight to allow the yoghurt to ripen

7. Cover all jars the next day and keep cool

8. Use the homemade yogurt within the next few days

Anyone who is now enthusiastic about his homemade natural yoghurt can use one of the jars for the next batch of homemade yoghurt.

In this way, you can make a variety of yogurt varieties yourself. For those who would like to do without animal yogurt can repeat the same procedure with soy milk. The possibilities are virtually unlimited. Even with natural flavors such as vanilla beans or cinnamon sticks may like to experiment.

The biggest advantage is obvious: you know exactly what ingredients were used.

Whether the yogurt contains little or no sugar does not make the difference. It is important to know exactly the packaging and its ingredients. Thus one does not step into the sugar trap.

If you want to be creative yourself and let your imagination run free, you should definitely consider making yogurt yourself. The result can often be seen not only in terms of taste. It is also something special to be able to offer its guests its own yoghurt.
