Henna Natural Very Low Fat Set Yogurt

400g Henna Yogurt

While searching through the natural yogurts in ASDA, this yogurt caught my attention. First I had to check it was actually yogurt as the name ‘Henna’ seemed a bit out of place in the dairy section.

I’d never seen or heard of this brand before and was intrigued, even more so when I noticed the price tag of just £0.45 for the 400g pot! What a bargain.

Further along I found the same yogurt but in large,1 kilogram bucket like pots with an even more tempting price of £1.00.


I would have liked to take this sized pot home, but there’s no way it would ever find room in my crowded fridge, plus it had to be eaten within 3 days of opening. And, much as I love yogurt, I don’t think I’d manage to get through that amount so fast.

Anyway, Henna Yogurt is described as a very low fat, natural live set yogurt with no added ingredients. It has only 42 calories per 100g, or 168 for the whole 400g pot.

It’s not at all sour and has such a mild taste it’s easy enough to eat without adding anything to it. It has a reasonably thick consistency when stirred and is fine to pour over fruit salad or add to cereal etc. However, I think this type of yogurt is ideal for adding to recipes, especially smoothies.

Henna yogurt is made by Pakeeza Dairies Ltd in Rochdale, Lancashire and so far I've only seen it in ASDA and Sainbury's. Incidentally, Sainsbury's sell Henna yogurt in an even more enormous 5 kilo tub!
