Advantages: Creamy texture

Disadvantages: Horrible taste, horrible ingredients

I left my Onken yoghurt at work yesterday, so I picked up these snack sized pots of Shape yoghurts instead. I had the choice of Blueberry and Fruits of the Forest, or Peach and Passionfruit. I went for the latter; there are 2 pots of each flavour and they cost me £1.

Again I assumed that these were a healthy snack as they are advertised as having a 'special formula' of protein, fibre and creamy texture to keep you fuller for longer, and they are fat free. I feel conned again though because they contain aspartame!!! A sweetener that has been banned in Diet Coke in America, world capital of unhealthy food and drink. This makes me distinctly uneasy and even though I used to read labels all the time to know what food was good, clearly I need to start doing it again so I don't get duped!!

So far I have sampled the peach flavour of this yoghurt. It is very creamy and has a pleasant texture, but the first taste was disgusting. There is artificial sweetness which my body doesn't like at all, not even after multiple tastes like with Snack a Jacks.

In addition, there is something in the yoghurt itself which leaves a nasty taste - looking at the terrible ingredients list it could be any one of a number of things that shouldn't be found in any kind of food. I may try the passionfruit one to see if it's any better - I would be tempted to throw them out if I didn't hate throwing food away.

The only part of it which tastes good is the mango, adn there is not very much of that - some small bits.

I feel very disappointed with these yoghurts (no wonder they were discounted) as I have never had a problem with Shape before and up until now respected them as good yoghurt makers.

In the future I will be sticking to my Onken, thanks.

Summary: Not good
