Our customers asked for it, and we listened! We are thrilled to have launched our new Honey Greek Style Yoghurt in 450g pots. A delicious combination of our authentically strained Greek Style yoghurt, blended with a dark, wild-flower honey and a hint of sugar. Whether you're in need of a quick breakfast on the go, a nutritious snack, or a delectable dessert, our Greek yoghurt with honey provides the perfect balance of flavour and nutrition.

The Health Benefits of Greek Yogurt and Honey

Greek yogurt offers numerous nutritional benefits, including a source of protein, probiotics, and essential nutrients like calcium and B12. However, the tangy flavour of plain Greek yoghurt may not be to everyone's liking. That's where honey steps in, serving as a natural sweetener and providing additional nutritional benefits to make it more enjoyable.

1. Source of Protein

Our Greek Style Yoghurt with Honey provides a natural source of protein making it an excellent choice for a pre or post workout snack. Protein is key for muscle growth and repair and helps keep you feeling fuller for longer.

2. Gut Health

The live cultures found in Greek yoghurt such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus support a healthy gut by promoting the growth of good bacteria.

3. Calcium and B12

Greek Style yoghurt contains calcium, which promotes bone health by keeping your bones dense and less prone to breaking. It is also an excellent source of vitamin B12, a nutrient that helps maintain healthy blood and nerve cells.

4. Antioxidant-Rich

Honey is packed with antioxidants which can help to combat stress and inflammation within the body. Research suggests that a spoonful of honey everyday can help with diabetes and cancer management alongside better heart health.

5. Antibacterial Properties

Honey's has natural antibacterial powers that actively contribute to the strengthening of your immune system.
