Tried & Tasted: Muller Light Yoghurt & Cadbury Highlights Chocolate Mousse.

I'll start with the Muller Lights.

I thought I'd post about these, since they're currently on offer in Tesco (4 for £1). They come in a variety of flavours and are absolutely delicious; you wouldn't think they were low fat at all.

They're good to eat alone, or with fruit, you can even use them when making low fat/point desserts like couscous cake which I'll post the recipe for shortly.

The flavours I currently have in, along with their calories (per 200g pot) are:

Raspberry and Cranberry 100 Kcal
Banana and Custard 106 Kcal
Wild Blueberry 94 Kcal
Strawberry 102 Kcal
Mandarin 104 Kcal
Rhubarb 100 Kcal
Vanilla 100 Kcal
Toffee 100 Kcal

They all have 0.2g saturated fat in each 200g pot, which means that they work out at a tiny bit over 1.5 Weight Watchers Points for the 100+ calorie pots and a little under 1.5 points for the sub 100 calorie pots; so are just usually just recorded as 1.5 points.

Moving along to the Cadbury Highlights Chocolate Mousse, and I do believe that I have saved the best until last here as these are PERFECT for those, who like myself are on a diet but still love and crave chocolate.

I think they taste even better because they are relatively guilt free, containing just 60 kcals and 1.9g of fat (roughly 0.95g sat fat*) per 55gram pot which equates to a teeny tiny bit over 1 weight watchers point per pot; which of course is to be rounded down to 1 point.

These are also currently on offer at Tesco stores across the country; down from 96p per 4 pack, to 48p.. what a snip.


*My weight watchers leader told me to just divide normal fat content by 2 to give a rough estimate on how much saturated fat is in a product if it only shows the overall fat content.

In the online Weightwatchers tracker, the rhubarb Mullerlight yogurts are shown as 0.5. I wonder whether that means that the tracker is wrong?
