    I've often frozen yoghurt when they've been on special offer in the shops & I find if you thaw them out within 2 or 3 weeks of freezing, they seem to be ok. But leave them any longer & they separate & thin a little bit, but taste fine.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    A friend asked me this morning whether it would be okay for her to freeze yoghurts to put in her sons packed lunch box as he wouldn't eat one last week as it had gone warm and tasted horrible apparently:rolleyes: I said I'd ask on here as you're all a wonderful source of info. So, any ideas? I'm wondering about the defrosting time for them as well on account of them being defrosted in time for lunch at 12.15 ?:confused:

    I freeze frubes the long tubes of yoghurt (only bought when on offer or reduced) and they keep the sarnies and other bits cool whilst they are defrosting. It suggests freezing them on the packet so I see no reason why not with other yoghurts and if it is still a bit frozen then it will be more like a sorbe.

    AT slimming world we freeze low fat yoghurts as an alternative to ice cream. I use muller lights.

    Should be no problem - you can buy whipped frozen yogurt in cones as an alternative to icecream, thus normal yogurt should be freezable. Two caveats: (1) because of expansion, the tub might split, thus it would be sensible to put the carton into a small plastic tub in case of spillage and (2), it'll probably separate, so mum should warn kid about that and tell him to mix it thorougly before eating.

    Yes definately, we freeze them in the summer with a spoon pushed through the lid, then take it out and you have a fromage frais lolly :)

    My baby has decided that he no longer wants petits filous for his breakfast, so I'm left with 24 pots to use by 16 Dec! So can I freeze them like they do those ones in the tubes? I thought that may be nice as a change from ice cream.

    Thanks again for all your help.
