Oikos Greek yogurt is a great low sugar alternative 

Thank you Kelc I will buy some next time I visit the supermarket.  

So called diet foods or low fat most of them contain sugar or artificial sweeteners sometimes it’s better just to go for full fat depending what it is even contains more protein, if you want something to add flavour in your oats / porridge Pecans, walnuts or nut butters most people add berries and other fruits which all contain natural sugar or if you fancy something different dark chocolate only contains 3.4g of sugar per ounce even less if you just grate a little on top and tastes like the old chocolate flavour ready break. 

Thank you for your advice Mankind 👍 

I use Sweet Freedom syrup from Aldi along with Coconut Milk to flavour/sweeten my porridge and blueberries. 

Thank you are such an inspiration i have followed you because you have shown it can be done , next time I visit the supermarket I will buy some Coconut Milk👍 

Forgot to say unsweetened coconut milk👍😀 

Skyr is great. 

Thank you NowayFox I will try everyones suggestions. 😊 

Low fat yogurts and low fat products are full of hidden sugars, we must stay away from them.  

Thank you amelia it wasn't until I got home and read the ingredients that I realised . Thank you cuipacdra. 

I use the skinnyfoodco syrups or jams they're amazing 

I love skyr and a little bit of sweetener or honey 

I am going to stop these now . Didnt realise the sugar content  

Yes until I read the label I didn't realise to , I am now going to check the Internet to check nutrition data before buying things. I have a big beer belly because of the amount of sugar in alcohol! Thank you everyone for your kind suggestions.  

Arla Skyr yoghurt. The plain version is the best label I've read in the yoghurt section. Low in everything except protein. They do 160g Skyr flavoured ones which aren't too bad. But I tend to buy the big pot of plain and eat 150g 98 calorie serving. So you get 3 servings per pot. You can easily add tesco 100g of mixed frozen fruit 41 calories.  

Try plain full fat yogurt 

And fresh fruit
