For a late-night snack, choose a large tub of plain Greek yoghurt if you plan to share it or use it more than once, and can follow the storage instructions after opening. Individual pots make it easier to choose a portion. If you’re more concerned about fat and protein, compare skyr too. It’s a different product, so check the nutritional values per 100 g.
An 850 g or 1 kg tub can provide several portions, served plain or with toppings added just before eating. Carrefour offers an 850 g tub of YAOS and a 1 kg tub from Delta, while Auchan offers 1 kg of plain Greek yoghurt. Check the storage instructions after opening before choosing this format.
If this matters more to you than the texture, check the nutritional values per 100 g. Auchan plain Greek yoghurt contains 10 g of fat per 100 g, while Yoplait lists less than 0.5 g per 100 g for its Skyr Nature. These are different types of product.
A multipack lets you have a portion without opening a large tub. Carrefour offers its Extra Greek-style yoghurt in four 150 g pots. Compare the weight of each pot with the amount you want to serve.
For a late-night snack, start with how much you plan to eat after opening, then compare the ingredients and nutritional values per 100 g.
| What matters | What to check | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Texture and larger tubs | Net weight of the tub and storage instructions after opening. | If I want to share plain Greek yoghurt or serve it more than once, I want a tub I can finish. Around 40% of consumers would put this need for a larger format first. |
| Nutritional content | Fat and protein per 100 g; ingredients list. | If fat or protein guides my choice, I compare the labels rather than relying on the product name alone. This would be the priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Portions and leftovers | Weight of each portion and how soon the product should be eaten after opening. | When I only have a pot now and then, I prefer an easy-to-serve amount that doesn’t leave a large tub open for long. Around 30% of consumers would prioritise portion sizes and avoiding leftovers. |
Their recipes and nutritional values can differ. According to the Auchan and Yoplait product information, Auchan plain Greek yoghurt contains 10 g of fat per 100 g, compared with less than 0.5 g per 100 g for Yoplait Skyr Nature.
Compare fat and protein on the same per-100 g basis, then check the product name and ingredients for each item.
For its 1 kg plain Greek yoghurt, Auchan advises storing it between +2 °C and +6 °C and eating it within four days of opening.
Before choosing this format, check the instructions on the tub and consider whether you’ll use it all within the stated time.

No. A large tub is best if you plan to serve several portions or use it in cooking too. Individual pots may be more convenient if you want one portion without leaving a large tub open. Either way, follow the storage instructions for the product you choose.
