It’s lunchtime and you’ve prepped a totally healthy meal for the kids. Add a yoghurt, and you’re done!
But, wait. Is this little dairy delight really that healthy for your little one? Well, if it’s Tamar Valley Dairy’s new range of Greek yoghurts (which are specially designed for kids), the answer is yes, very!
Really? How come?
That’s right. Tamar Valley Dairy just introduced something that health-conscious mums will adore – a kids’ yoghurt that is crafted with only premium ingredients, the first with no sugar added. Using milk sourced from local farms in the Tamar Valley region, this new yoghurt range is as good for your child as it tastes.
We know, you take care when cooking for your kids. You’re cautious when it comes to sugary sweet treats and tend to lean towards healthy options, such as yoghurt. That said, there are so-called healthy products, and then ones that are actually nutritious.
According to Accredited Practising Dietician Sharon Natoli from Food & Nutrition Australia,
“Latest research suggests that half of kids ages 2-3 years eat too much sugar, with 70-80% of this coming from added sugars, so it’s great to see a no sugar added Greek yoghurt option for kids in this age group.”
Natoli adds, “At this age, kids are still developing their taste preferences and experimenting with different foods, so offering a product with a lower level of sweetness has the potential to set them up for better eating habits later in life by adjusting their taste for sweetness downwards.”
What’s magical (in a totally nutrition-centered way) about Tamar Valley Dairy’s yoghurt is that it fits into the healthy-for-kids category, without sacrificing taste. So many ‘health’ foods taste like – well, health foods. They’re bland. They have odd flavours, or they’re far from anything that your picky, picky preschooler would ever dare to eat. Not so for this one!
Even though Tamar Valley Dairy says a big “NO” to added sugar, they didn’t skimp on the yum factor. With three flavours in the range (strawberry, vanilla and tropical) your choosy child won’t be disappointed and won’t turn her nose up when you offer her a pouch.
A pouch? Wait just a moment there – did we just say pouch? We absolutely did. This yoghurt doesn’t come in a cup. Instead, it comes in a squeezable pouch. #winning
Any mum who’s ever tried packing a cup of yoghurt in her child’s school lunch knows that it’s not exactly a joy-filled situation. Yoghurt cups take up more room than you’d like, they (obviously) don’t bend and you need to include a spoon.
These squeezable pouches easily pack up, making them perfect for lunch-boxes or even your own bag (for an on-the-go treat that your child actually asks for). And bonus, there’s extra blank space on the pouch to write your child’s name. Now Ella’s yoghurt won’t get mixed up with Oliver’s!
The yoghurt comes in 110g pouches and is sold at Coles, Woolworths and Independent supermarkets. “Kids aged 2-3 years need at least 1½ serves of dairy foods daily to provide the nutrition they need to support growth and development, in particular for healthy bones, muscles, teeth and gums,” says Natoli.
“One Tamar Valley kids yoghurt provides half a serve of dairy, giving young kids a good start toward meeting their daily dairy requirements.”
To celebrate the launch of these Australian first yoghurts, and because we love to hear what you’ve got to say, we’ve organised for a bunch of our readers to trial and review the range of Tamar Valley Dairy’s kids’ Greek yoghurt pouches and tell us what you think!
Here’s how it works: If you’re lucky enough to be selected, we’ll send you vouchers for Tamar Valley Dairy Kids’ Greek yoghurt. You’ll have 10 days for your kids to try the yoghurt. Snap some pictures of your little one’s eating the pouches and complete a short survey, with your honest and detailed feedback. That’s it! We’ll then compile a follow-up story and include your feedback so we can share it with our readers.
It’s that easy!
To apply, complete the application form below in full and we’ll be in touch if you’re one of the readers selected.

The less sugar my kids eat the better, and so many yogurts these days look heathy but are chock full of sugar 🙁 The flavours look really yummy!
I used to purchase other fruit yoghurt for my son before I discovered how much sugar was in it. Since then I have purchased Greek yoghurt and added olives or cucumber instead. I would love to introduce fruit yoghurt into my sons diet again by trying Tamar Valley yoghurt-there’s no need for added sugar!!
We all love yougart espically the kids but many brands have so much sugar in them which is not good
No added sugar means a healthier options for my children. Generally yoghurt has so much added sugar (usually the same as a chocolate custard style cup)
I love yogurt and I love fruit and mixing the two is just perfect, there is no need to mask the naturally delicious and sweet taste with added sugar.
We all know the effect sugar can have on our kids. I’ve tried to make my own yoghurt before but the kids would not eat it. I love the idea of being able to grab a yoghurt off the shelf as a quick snack that isn’t full of sugar!
Anything that is a healthier option will always be the first choice
With all the nasties out there these days, a no sugar alternative is amazing to have, especially with all the known side affects of sugar consumption
Monitoring sugar intake for my kids is getting more and more difficult. They find plain Greek yoghurt quite unpalatable, so to have a NSA fruit yoghurt available would provide so many wins in the lunchbox and general dietary intake stakes!
To be able to offer a genuine healthy snack is great piece of mind
I worry about the amount of sugar in convenience foods that kids eat, so a no sugar added yoghurt pouch sounds great.
Starting my little man on less sugar when he’s younger will help him with making healthier choices when he’s older
My children generally aren’t keen on Greek yoghurt unless it’s sweetened with a dollop of honey…even though Greek yoghurt is the healthier option. To see Tamar Valley Greek yoghurt with no added sugar in exciting flavours is enticing and exciting. Cute pouches for little children’s hands…too easy!
I love that they are in a squeezy pouch which seems to make them more fun. It will also make my kids more likely to try them. They will be having so much fun squeezing that they won’t notice that they are eating something healthy. I will also not feel so guilty about them eating it.
The convenience of the pouches aswell as the fact that they are actually a healthy snack that I don’t have to be worried about giving my kids
my kids love yoghurt but i hate that there is so much added sugar. Id love to be able to have something ready to go when im time poor (and what mum isnt) instead of getting plain yoghurt and adding my own fruit to it
No added sugar. Gotta love that. Too much sugar in kids diet and it shows in behaviors.
There is sugar in just about everythign so it is nice to see a tasty snack without it.
I love that this yoghurt doesn’t contain any added sugar. One less thing I have to worry about when I’m shopping for them.
Most yoghurt brands that market themselves for kids have so much sugar and artificial flavoring in them that is not needed by kids. No added sugar gives us parents more confidence that giving our children yoghurt as a snack is a good option. This will not be another one of those brands that “tricks” us into thinking that the yoghurt we are giving is healthy and not laden with sugar and artificial flavorings.
It’s so rare to find a yoghurt marketed to kids that isn’t full of sugar. Can’t wait to try these!
Be a good change for miss 6 if she likes it, something less sugary
I’d love to try an sugar free yoghurt and one made with premium Australian ingredients!
LOVE the sugar free concept!
No added sugar should be for all kids foods but sometimes it’s so hard to find convenient easy options without the additives. The pouches are always the must in our household so to finally have a sugar free option is fantastic!
that sugar free option will have me fling through the dairy section come shopping day!
It’s great to see a snack without sugar in it. My girls love yoghurts I can’t wait to try these.
There is way too much sugar in our foods these days. As a parent of a child with ADHD, I am very strict on her diet as I have discovered this has a HUGE impact on her behaviour. No added sugar is great, she can enjoy a fantastic dairy snack without overloading her system. It’s great to see more products with no added sugar!
Sugar Free Yoghurt is best as there are no added nasties. We get plenty of sugar through fruit (good sugar) but added sugars are just not necessary especially for our little mini me’s.
Sugar free is amazing. It’s hard to find children’s snack products in the supermarket that aren’t packed with sugar.
I love a healthy lunch box and breakfast for my daughter so yoghurt is always on the menu. I am really glad that I can offer her a no added sugar version of a product she loves. Win win!
My boys love yogurt. If I could find a no sugar added variety that they liked it would be fantastic.
Great idea that a yoghurt company is finally not adding more sugar. That’s the very reason why I don’t buy kid’s yoghurt for them
Currently my children only eat plain yoghurt with fresh berries as I don’t want them having any added sugars
I often place Greek yoghurt into my own reusable pouches but sometimes I just don’t have the time. It would be great to be able to buy them pre-done and still not have to worry about the sugar. Great to keep the kids quiet while doing the groceries I’ll bet!
So much easier than making your own, no sugar will be one less food I have to worry about how much sugar is going to their little bodies
Yogurt thats yogurt, no added sugar- so you know that it tastes sweet without the not so much extra sugar treat
Yoghurt that has no added sugar is a bonus for me & my kids because I don’t have to worry about the sugar content with Tamar valley yoghurt ill take that over ones loaded with sugar
So many things!!!! The time it wouod save from having to portion out regular sized tubs of sugar free yoghurt. The other squeezy packs have so many additives and sugars in them!
There are so many products out there without kids health in mind id love to try and support a company that so
Amanda Giffard. I love the fact I can quickly pack a healthier snack in my little girls lunch boxes that they will absolutely love to eat, all the while saving me precious time in the morning (and worry about high sugar levels, and unhealthy teeth) as I won’t have to scoop snack sized portions out of a large tub and mix it with fresh fruit! Love the simplicity and the flavours sound enticing too!
I love the fact that these yoghurts mean that a healthy snack can still feel like something sweet/a treat without having all the unhealthiness of lots of sugar. I will feel good about giving it to my kids.
no sugar in these yoghuts will make me feel less guilty giving it to my kid
These sound really good, Love that they crafted with only premium ingredients and is a healthy option.
The no added sugar is a massive incentive for me to buy this product, as I try to limit the amount of sugar my children have.
What’s not to love. Our kids have only ever really had natural yoghurt so these are a great addition and will be fabulous for lunchboxes or outings.
Finally a yoghurt pouch that isnt packed with artificial sugar. About time.
Love that someone is actually marketing a product that kids would love without being loaded with sugar!
It is great to know my children can enjoy yoghurt that is sugar free.
We are trying to livesugar free lifestyle. With sugarfree yogurt i can rest assure my kids are having the benefit of yogurt without the negativity of sugar.
I love that something can be marketed for children, as a treat and contain no added sugar. I feel like parents deal with so much guilt, feeding your child shouldn’t be part of that.
I love that this is sugar free, I am always looking for foods for my children that contain ‘no or less’ sugar. Thanks 🙂
I love the fact that yoghurt has become an even healthier treat/meal option for my child with no sugar.
I love the fact that Tamar Valley’s Yoghurt Pouches have no added sugar. One less thing to worry about. Thanks.
Love the fact there is no added sugar in this yoghurt. Can’t wait for my daughter to try this.
Love the no sugar it actually makes life easier for me
I love that I would be giving my kids something healthy, we love the convenience of yoghurt pouches but most of them have quite a bit of sugar in them.
My kids love their “sucky yoghurts” and it’s great seeing a no added sugar option
I think children get enough sugar hidden in their snacks so this is a great healthier alternative.
Always looking for sugar free snacks for my toddler, tooth decay in children is a real & scary thing!
My son has now started acting out with certain foods depending on their sugar content, he also has problems digesting some dairies, so trialling him with another yoghurt that he may be able to finally eat would be fantastic so i could add something new to his limited selection of dairy and especially yoghurts.
What’s not to love about no added sugar?
I love that it gives us the opportunity to feed our children something tasty and locally made, without worrying about added sugar. It’s difficult to find yoghurt or dairy products that are aimed at children (packaging etc) that don’t have extras in them that really aren’t necessary.
I love that it’s sugar free because sugar shouldn’t be in a child’s diet, these yoghurts sound amazing!
With a baby and two school kids all with healthy appetites. I like to know as well as wholesome, filling food I’m giving them, but no added sugar is a bonus with all of the processed foods these days. Especially when still introducing new foods to a baby.
I have four kids and try to serve them only nutrional food, but with 4 kids i need some convience too! We already love Tamar products!
No added sugar is fantastic so we can keep healthier and being aussie made is such a bonus
Knowing its low sugar & no added sugar is a big TICK yes, i like that its Aussie made & the potential to freeze them & eat them as a healthier dessert options versus ice cream is a big plus for us!!!
Um… Durr no added sugar! Kids are pumped full of hidden sugar all day… Nice work Tamar Valley Yoghurt for making one meal easy 😉
No added sugar is amazing – yoghurts can be such a “healthy” trap!
It’s locally made. No sugar or low sugar is something I always try to give my kids. It’s sounds perfect for my kids.
it would be great to give my children this and feel guilt-free 🙂
Fresh fruits with no sugar. It makes the best and healthy pack for kids to enjoy anytime.
Its great as nearly all yoghurts designed for kids are packed with sugars especially added sugar. Its great to find a natural yoghurt thats no added sugar and only conatin the natural sugars from the fruits added
I love that they’re getting their dairy intake without loading up on simple sugars
There is more than enough sugar everywhere you look. What a great way to teach kids about healthy, tasty dairy options!
I love that there is no added sugar in Tamar Valley Yoghurt as it is just not necessary, the natural sugars from the fruit make it sweet enough for the kids and they are exposed to too many products with added sugar as it is.
I love that there is no added sugar, kids don’t need it, there is too much sugar in foods these days just to get kids to eat it.
We travel a lot. Minimum 1hr round trip for school, 7hr round trip for a big shop and that’s just the driving. Last thing I need is a sugar filled bunch of kids stuck in the car.
Kids get enough sugar from a balanced diet there is no need for added sugar well done Tamar Valley.
When giving your child something that is good for them like yougurt,what better way then something that has no added sugar!
Added sugar is in so many things. Being able to use the convenience of squeeze packs but without being loaded with sugar. Winning!
It’s hard enough trying to find “healthy” food for on the go times, instead of feeding our kids “junk” when out and about.
Finding a yoghurt that’s has no added sugar, other than the contained fruit, and is easy to transport is a huge bonus.
I also love the fact that this is a home grown product.
I always am looking for the healthiest yoghurt so my kids can enjoy eating it more often. They would eat it every meal if i let them
I love that it has no added sugar
I love that this yoghurt is in pouches for little ones to easily eat on the go and it’s so hard to find find premade healthy snacks not all parents can make extra time to make your own snacks and treats
More natural taste, and I hope to see that is it not overly sweet like many other brands!
Handy and Healthy, great combo for kids lunchbox.
As a mum it is hard work shopping for healthy snacks for our little cherubs. It is great to know that Tamar Valley kids yoghurt is sugar free. It will definitely save me time in scanning through the ingredients.
No added sugar is fantastic! I hate how everything these days is loaded with hidden sugars, from canned tomatoes to frozen vegetables, it really is disgusting. I am always trying to find healthy and natural products to put in my twin girls lunch boxes and these sound great!
Always on the look out for healthy foods for myself and my family, aespecially my 2 year old so it helps that it has not added suger, we get plenty from the fruit alone.
Having been raised with a diabetic sister it was amazing to learn just how much sugar is added to everyday products. With so many natural products already having natural sugars to add any extra sugar is unneeded which is why “no added sugar” on products such as this is a great idea.
Cant wait for my kids to try these 🙂
Will try these later and let you know
I love this brand. I eat it with my fruit every morning and now there is one for the kids. A brand I love and trust.
That it is a children’s yoghurt in a squeezable pouch with no added sugar.
Can’t wait to try these
An easy way to monitor the daily sugar intake without having to worry about added sugars. Awesome!
easier more healthy way for kids to enjoy their fav snack perfect
My Daughters kindy are Against the regular Packs of Yoghurt, too much sugar and not real fruit. My 2 year old also loves to eat many at once and thats probably because of the sugar addiction.
I make my own Greek yoghurt and add blueberries for my kids but it would be lovely if I could buy healthy no added sugar yoghurt convenience packs from time to time when I just haven’t got around to making it!
A great way for my kids to enjoy yogurt without having unnecessary sugar
There is no need to add sugar to yoghurt, so I applaud Tamar Valley. There is sugar is so much these days. I know what yoghurt I will be buying in future.
I love that Tamar Valley had still thought about taste and attractiveness to the kiddies! While thinking about their health needs!
I love that with no added sugar the range of flavours will still be a hit for my kids tastebuds
I try to find the time to make my own yoghurt but with two kids it gets hard. I love the idea of a Greek yogurt with no added sugar so I can feel confident that I am giving my kids something yummy, healthy & easy for them to eat.
Love a healthy kids snack that has no added sugar. It’s one less thing I have to worry about as I’m sure they’ll get sugar from somewhere else… My three kids are very much into clean living and are aware even at age 8 of what the sugar content is in products. My Miss 8 is constantly reading labels to check the ingredients and sugar content. Perfect for their lunch boxes or a snack on the run.
No sugar is great.
We ove Tamar Valley yoghurt. My family are health concious and it’s so hard to find sugar free yoghurt!! It’s very exciting to have an Australia brand use a squeezy pouch. I look forward to giving the new range a go!
This one definitely keeps us Mums happy, knowing there is no added sugar…..and the kids still love it for the taste
I love tbat I can provide my daughter with yogurt that she loves that is more natural and healthier than other sugar filled brands.
I always hate reading how much sugar in is my kids yoghurt this sound like a great product
I love that I can indulge my son without dosing him with unnecessary sugar.
I believe that natural sugar from fruit is all my little one needs!
So nice to have a healthy treat that doesn’t contain added sugar
love a treat without added sugar, kids would think these a treat too
I really like that they could have a treat without me feeling so guilty!
No added sugar is what everyone wants in foods now days. Sugar is such a worry, so as a mother, this would be the perfect snack for my daughter! 🙂
Sugar free treats are always a win in my house!
Sugar free yoghurt is a bonus great for lunch boxes
As a nation, we are all eating far too much sugar. Well done Tamar Valley
I love that I can eat to the whole tub of Greek Style No Added Sugar Mixed Berry Yoghurt without feeling guilty! (That’s the large 700g tub! – Don’t tell anyone!)
better choice and option to give kids
My daughter is a squad gymnast and is not allowed to bring any processed foods or sweet treats or foods containing sugar and other nasties for her snack… this would be perfect and would have her coaches approval! 😉
I love the idea of no added sugar because it means my kids arent getting extra additives they dont need, and no terrible crazy sugar high!
It’s a healthier option for children
It’s nutritious, delicious, healthier and yummier!
There is enough artificial additives in foods and i strongly believe that yoghurt should be as natural as possible.
I would love to try as my kiddies are best at telling me what’s yum or not
I’d love my son to try a healthy, tasty alternative that will fit well in his lunchbox as well as being a delicious dessert.
NO SUGAR ADDED, wow don’t tell the kids as they enjoy this yummy dessert
no sugar added is always a good thing if you ask me…now i need to ask the kids.
I love the no sugar way as I would encourage my kids to eat less sugar foods and to stay healthy with their choices
I’ve learnt over the years to thoroughly read labels because there can be a lot of hidden nasties. I love that this yoghurt not only has no added sugar, but Tamar Valley haven’t added anything that I would not feed my son or myself.
I love that having no sugar means NY kids can have a healthy snack anytime they want and I know it won’t cause tooth problems, and its good for them. I don’t like my kids having sugar, not just for their teeth but for other health issues that could occur like hyperactivity or weight issues
I love that I can finally prove to my children that not everything yummy has to have sugar in it!
I like to give my kids a healthy treat that I don’t have to feel guilty about and that won’t compromise their health. They love yogurt, so got this one!
I can feed these yogurts as part of a really balanced and healthy diet without kidding myself or my children!
Awesome, less mess
No added sugar yoghurt is perfect for my daughter as I want her to have healthy enjoyable snacks.
It means my little one can enjoy yoghurt and I don’t have to worry about the sugar content.
Yes Please! No added sugar with an awesome taste is the new food revolution 🙂
I just think it makes sense that kids and adults have a sugar & sweetener free option with fruit rather than just plain.
We have too much added sugar in our diets. Reducing the amount will make us healthy and happier.
My girls love strawberry yoghurt, so the no added sugar option sounds great. It’s very hard these days to find foods that are convenient and yet still healthy.
I love that Tamar Valley yoghurt keeps kids active without sending them HYPERactive!
What’s not to love about a healthy snack with no added sugar?!
Two boys who’s insanity levels spike at the thought of sugar, and a teenage girl who is very health aware this sounds like it will help keep the kids added sugar levels down
,
Always on the look out for low/no sugar snacks that the kids like and will eat
No added sugar
means less tooth decay for her
Fresh flavours that create the taste
means healthier family without the waste
Fruit and dairy in a pouch
No mess and no sugar high Grouch
Convenient and with no added sugar- a winner!
There is enough sugar in our diets that I’d love to be able to give my family a product with no added sugar that still tastes great 🙂
I don’t have to think twice about feeding my children Healthy sugar free food.
Real fruit flavour in a great tasting yoghurt with no nasty excess sugar. All that a mum can ask for.
Kids get enough sugar these days, they dont need anymore. My kids think yoghurt is a special treat, it would be even better without sugar
What’s not to love about a healthy option!!
We all love our natural healthy, no added sugar yoghurt and are very excited to finally have an easy convenient option for the little ones!
A healthier option for the kids, yes please!
