Advantages: no added sugar

Disadvantages: none

There are so many yogurts aimed at children in the shops, and I found it hard to find one that didn't have added sugar when I was first starting solids with my daughter. A friend of mine recommended trying Rachel's, so I went to have a look.

The packaging is clearly aimed at babies, with bright clear colours and design. You can't mistake what you're getting. A four pack will cost you around £1.50, but the pots themselves are slightly bigger than the little stars ones so you get more in each serving. This has been great for my daughter the yogurt monster, who would happily eat all four pots in one sitting if I'd let her!

The yogurt itself is lovely and thick and creamy, with just the right amount of added fruit puree and fruit juice. The four flavours you get are raspberry, banana, strawberry and mango, but the focus is on the yogurt itself, which is made from organic whole milk. The added juice is minimal, and is just right for making it taste nice and not as sharp as plain yogurt can sometimes be. The smooth texture with no lumpy fruit bits is perfect for little ones just starting with solids, though the amount may be a bit much at first so you might need to finish it yourself- which is fine as they taste so nice I happily do that when needed!

I love these for our whole family, and often buy them as lunchbox treats for my husband and I, as well as my two children. I'm relieved to finally have an alternative to the added sugar market that seems to have taken over yogurt.

Summary: a great first yogurt for your baby, and tasty for you too!
