With delicious flavours and
a focus on health, yoghurt
makes a no-brainer for your
shopping trolley
Yoghurt
Many yoghurts available in
your local supermarket will
be an excellent source of calcium,
protein and low glycemic index
(GI) carbohydrates, which are
suitable for inclusion in your daily
diet. However, it is important to
take the time to check the
nutrition information panel of
your favourite brand and flavour,
as they don’t all stack up to be
as good as each other.
Look for yoghurts that contain:- No more than 2.5g total
fat per 100g - No more than 10g sugar
per 100g - At least 100mg calcium
per 100g
When deciding on your portion
size, remember to consider your
individualised carbohydrate
requirements to best manage
your BGLs. If you are unsure
about this, an Accredited
Practising Dietitian can help you.
