SAINSBURY’S STRAWBERRY TRIFLE
Fat 10.5g Sugars 27.3g per 150g pot
Price £1.59 for three

The strawberries account for 12 per cent of the ingredients and taste fresh, with a sharpness that contrasts well with the sweet jelly. Even if you’re slimming, it might be worth saving your calories for this trifle; it’s a winner on taste. 257 calories

MARKS & SPENCER COUNT ON US ... STRAWBERRY TRIFLE

DANONE GOODIES LOW-FAT STRAWBERRY TRIFLE
Fat 2.1g Sugars 26.4g per 115g pot
Price £1.36 for three
