For a post-workout snack, choose a multipack of four plain Greek-style yoghurts if you want individual pots to spread across several snacks. If the protein content per serving matters more to you than the product category, compare dairy products with added protein too. Danone’s HiPRO Vanilla pot lists 15 g of protein per 160 g, but it isn’t a plain Greek-style yoghurt. Before deciding how much to buy, clarify what you mean by “4 pint”: this expression alone doesn’t mean a pack of four pots or a 2-litre container.
You want to know how much protein is in the pot you’ll eat, rather than relying on the name “Greek-style” alone. Danone lists 15 g of protein in its 160 g HiPRO Vanilla pot, which belongs to a different dairy product category.
You prefer a spoonable snack that you can enjoy over several days. Carrefour and E.Leclerc, for example, offer packs of 4 × 150 g, while Auchan offers a plain multipack of 4 × 125 g.
You’re considering a flavoured recipe for its taste. Compare the nutritional information for that specific flavour with a plain recipe: sugars, fat and protein can vary, as they do between Auchan’s plain and vanilla products.
First decide whether you’re looking for Greek-style yoghurt or whether another dairy product in a pot would also suit you. Then compare the serving size, recipe and pack format of the exact product.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per serving | Compare the grams per pot and per 100 g, without treating a dairy product with added protein as the same thing as Greek-style yoghurt. | If I choose my snack based on the amount of protein actually in a serving, the pot’s weight matters just as much as the value per 100 g. Around 40% of consumers put this need first. |
| Recipe and nutritional values | Check the sugars, fat and protein per 100 g on the label for the recipe you’ve chosen, especially if it’s flavoured. | If I prefer a vanilla recipe, I want to know what’s in it rather than assume it has the same values as the plain version. For around 30% of consumers, the recipe’s ingredients are the top priority. |
| Pots and storage | Check the number of pots, the weight of each one and the storage instructions. Clarify the unit you want before looking for a “4 pint” format. | When planning several snacks, I mainly need portions that suit me and packaging I can store according to the label. This is the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
The yoghurt’s name doesn’t tell you how much protein is in your serving. E.Leclerc’s product page for Delisse plain yoghurt lists 3.0 g of protein per 100 g, while Danone lists 15 g in its 160 g HiPRO Vanilla pot, which isn’t a plain Greek-style yoghurt.
Compare the grams per pot as well as the values per 100 g, then check the product category.
Auchan’s plain Greek-style yoghurt lists 2.8 g of sugars and 3.2 g of protein per 100 g; its vanilla product lists 12 g and 2.5 g per 100 g respectively. These figures apply to these two specific recipes.
Check the nutritional information for the flavour and pack size you plan to buy.
The multipacks mentioned by Carrefour, E.Leclerc and Auchan are labelled with the number of pots and their weight in grams. This alone isn’t enough to interpret a request for “4 pint” as four pots or a 2-litre bottle.
Clarify the unit, the total quantity you want and the type of container before comparing products.
Auchan’s plain product says to store it between 0 °C and +6 °C. Yoplait says its 180 g Yop can be kept out of the fridge for up to 8 hours, but that guidance applies to this specific drinking yoghurt.
Follow the instructions on the product you buy when transporting and storing it.
Danone offers plain Greek-style yoghurt and, under its HiPRO range, a pot of dairy product with added protein.
Yoplait offers Yop in a 180 g drinkable format. Consider it if the container matters more to you than the “Greek-style yoghurt” category.
Carrefour Extra offers plain Greek-style yoghurt in a pack of 4 × 150 g.
E.Leclerc’s Delisse range includes plain Greek-style yoghurt in 4 × 150 g and 8 × 125 g packs, as well as a 1 kg format.
Auchan offers plain Greek-style yoghurt in pots, as well as a vanilla recipe.
Under its Eridanous brand, Lidl offers Greek-style yoghurt for use in both sweet and savoury dishes.
No. “Greek-style” alone doesn’t tell you how much protein is in a serving. E.Leclerc’s product page for Delisse plain yoghurt lists 3.0 g per 100 g, while Danone lists 15 g in its 160 g HiPRO Vanilla pot, which is a different type of dairy product. Compare the serving sizes and values per 100 g for the product you choose.
Choose the flavour you want, then compare the nutritional information for the exact recipes. Auchan’s plain product lists 2.8 g of sugars per 100 g, compared with 12 g per 100 g for its vanilla product. This difference doesn’t apply to every brand or flavour.
The products featured include Carrefour Extra and E.Leclerc Delisse in 4 × 150 g packs, as well as Auchan plain yoghurt in a 4 × 125 g pack. Compare the weight of each pot and the total pack weight. If you’re looking for “4 pint” or 2 litres, clarify the unit and type of container you want first.
Follow the temperature instructions on the packaging of the yoghurt you buy. Auchan’s plain product featured here should be stored between 0 °C and +6 °C. Yoplait’s instructions for its 180 g drinking Yop don’t apply to pots of Greek-style yoghurt.
