These were on offer in Morrisons & I hadn't had them for age so I popped a six pack into the trolley. When I opened the outer packaging I noticed a little flyer type leaflet which was predominantly pink & white. "Have You Won A Weekend In New York City?" it asks. Then:-

To find out if you've won a New York City break for YOU AND THE GIRLS(!!!) simply visit www.mullerdairy.co.uk/winwithmullerlight and enter your reference number below. Make sure you keep this leaflet to claim your prize.

Also, why not arrange a fun night out with THE GIRLS using one of the fantastic offers below.

What's all this "THE GIRLS" business? Do Muller think that men don't eat their products? Is that why they're being so blatantly sexist in the prize promotions?

Anyway.....


Packaging:

There are 6 pots of Muller Light Yogurt in this "collection". They are:-

+ 2 x Strawberry
+ 2 x Cherry
+ 2 x Smooth Raspberry & Cranberry.

The six pots are held in place with a piece of sturdyish cardboard which is then covered a the usual type of plastic bag which Muller use for of their 6 packs. This one is predominantly white in colour with pictures of strawberries, cherries, raspberries & cranberries. The back of the pack lists the ingredients & nutritional information for each of the three flavours of yoghurt as well as Muller's address & website:- www.muller.co.uk


The ingredients for this flavour are: Yogurt, Raspberry Puree (8%), Cranberry Juice From Concentrate (3%), Fructose, Modified Maize Starch, Gelatine, Acidity Regulators: Sodium Citrates, Citric Acid, Flavourings, Sweetners: Aspartame, Colours: Carmines

The Yogurt:
The yogurt comes in a plastic white & pinkish pot. The pot is covered with the usual foil lid with a picture of some raspberries & cranberries on it. The pot tells us that it weighs 200g that there are 100 calories per pot, that it's fat free & that each pot will provide you with 31% of your Recommended Daily Amount of calcium. On opening the pot I can see that the yogurt is sort of an pinkish sort of colour colour with a smooth appearance. There are no bits of cranberry or raspberry present in the pot.


Taste:

This is a creamy yogurt with a nice smooth consistency which isn't too thick & isn't too runny. You can taste the rasberries but there's also a distinct taste of cranberry which gives the yohurt is a slight edge and is perhaps why this yogurt doesn't taste too over-sweet. It does have an aftertaste which lingers for quite a while after you've finished the yogurt but this isn't overstrong & leaves your mouth feeling somewhat clean & tasting slightly of fruit.


Price:

At time of writing these are on offer in Morrison's for £1.40


Opinion:

This is an ideal product if you're someone who doesn't like bits in their yogurt. As well as being virtually fat product & providing you with 31% of your RDA of calcium it's also not oversweet which may appeal to diabetics or those who are fond of ultra sugary desserts. One pot provides you with 100 calories which is 5% of a woman's RDA of 2000 calories or, for men, 4% of your RDA of 2500 calories.

Content wise this yogurt contains both aspartame & gelatine, both of which some people have issues / concerns over. Tastewise this is my least favourite of the three flavours in this 6 pack mainly because I'm not overly fond of the cranberry taste which is present here. Having said that, this yogurt is still very edible & is preferable to the horrible vanilla & chocolate monstrosity which I reviewd last week.
