Hosts looking for six individual portions
If you want to serve each of your six guests a pot after the pancakes, you can compare the 6 × 125 g and 6 × 140 g multipacks listed respectively by Auchan and Carrefour.
Who are these formats for?
Guests who care about texture
Fruit at the bottom to mix in, blended fruit or a recipe containing cream all look different when served. If that matters for dessert, check the product’s exact description.
People who check the labels before sharing
If the ingredients matter to your guests, check the ingredients list, the allergens shown and the nutritional information for your chosen flavour. Some of the 0% recipes listed by Yoplait contain sweeteners.
What should you check before buying?
For a pancake night, start with the number of portions you need, then choose your preferred texture and check the label on the product you have in mind.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Number of pots and weight per pot. | I want to serve a pot to everyone without buying a pack that’s too large for my group; around 33% of consumers rank the number of portions as their top priority. |
| Texture and recipe | Fruit at the bottom or blended; nutritional information per 100 g. | After the pancakes, I’d rather choose whether the fruit stays separate or is already mixed in. For around 45% of consumers, texture is the main consideration. |
| Ingredients and storage | Ingredients and allergens; storage instructions on the packaging. | If I’m serving several guests, I want to spot any ingredients some of them need to avoid and store the pots as directed on the label; ingredients are the top priority for around 22% of consumers. |

Mistaking ‘6 pint’ for a pack of six pots
The French products listed by Carrefour and Auchan show the number of pots and their weight in grams. ‘6 pint’ doesn’t tell you whether you’re looking for six individual portions or a larger volume to share.
Confirm how many guests you’re catering for, then check the number of pots and the weight of each one before choosing.
-
Confusing fruit at the bottom with blended fruit
In the products mentioned, the fruit is either underneath the yoghurt or already mixed in. This affects the texture your guests will find when they open their pots.
Look for descriptions such as ‘fruit at the bottom’, ‘with fruit pieces’ or ‘with blended fruit’, depending on the style you want.
-
Choosing a 0% or creamy version based on its name alone
Yoplait says its Panier 0% range contains sweeteners, while its Crémeux recipe is made with whole milk and cream. Ingredients vary depending on the product you choose.
Check the ingredients and compare the sugars and fat per 100 g on the packaging of the products you’re considering.
-
Swapping pots for a large bottle without considering how you’ll serve it
A bottle to pour from and individual pots aren’t served in the same way. A drinking yoghurt shouldn’t be confused with fruit yoghurt in pots.
If you’d prefer a larger sharing format rather than six pots, first check the product category and the quantity you need.
Brands to consider by recipe
Yoplait
Depending on the product, the Panier range lets you compare fruit at the bottom, a creamy recipe and a 0% version.
- Yoplait’s product listings include multipacks of six with different fruit textures.
- Yoplait says the 0% version contains sweeteners, while the Crémeux recipe is made with whole milk and cream. Check the exact product before choosing.
Danone
The Danone Velouté with blended fruit listed by Carrefour is a good choice if you’re after a smooth texture and an assortment of flavours.
- Carrefour’s listing describes a Danone Velouté assortment of 16 × 125 g with blended fruit.
- This assortment contains sixteen pots, not six, so compare the pack size with the number of portions you want to serve.
Nestlé

- The product listed by Auchan comes in a 6 × 125 g pack, with strawberry at the bottom.

Frequently asked questions
Is a pack of six pots enough for a pancake night?
Yes, if you’re planning one pot per person for six guests. Also check the weight per pot: Carrefour and Auchan list examples in 6 × 140 g and 6 × 125 g packs.
What’s the difference between blended fruit and fruit at the bottom?
Blended fruit is mixed into the yoghurt, while fruit at the bottom stays separate until you mix it in. Yoplait’s product descriptions distinguish between these textures, so check the wording on the pot rather than just the flavour.
Is a 0% version suitable if I want to avoid sweeteners?
Not necessarily: Yoplait says its Panier 0% fruit range contains sweeteners. If you want to avoid them, read the ingredients list for the product you’re considering.
How should I store the pots until the evening?
Follow the storage temperature shown on the packaging and, if the product has a use-by date, don’t go past it. The Ministry of the Economy reminds consumers that this date must be observed for the foods concerned; the Auchan listing for the Yaos mentioned here says to store this specific product at a maximum of +6 °C.
