Who are these options for?

People looking for a measurable amount of protein

You’re after a chilled snack with a stated protein content per pot, rather than choosing solely for a fruity flavour. Danone France’s HiPRO Blueberry product details make it easy to compare the amount per serving.

Fans of different textures and fruit

You care about whether the texture is smooth or firm, or whether there are fruit pieces. Products from Yoplait France and Auchan France show why it’s worth checking the exact recipe, even within the same category.

People who pay attention to ingredients

You want to compare sugars, fat, sweeteners and fruit content before choosing a regular snack. These details apply to the specific product and flavour you choose, not to an entire range.

What should you compare?

First decide whether protein or a fruity flavour and texture matter most to you. Then compare the nutritional information and ingredients for the exact recipe. The word “skyr” or the phrase “with fruit” doesn’t tell you everything about its nutritional profile.

Criteria What to check Who it matters to
Protein Compare the grams per pot and per 100 g, as well as the product description. If I’m choosing this snack primarily for a clearly stated amount of protein, I want to be able to compare actual serving sizes. Around 36% of consumers would put this need first.
Sugars and recipe Check the sugars, fat and ingredients list together, including any sweeteners. If I expect to have this snack regularly, I want to understand the recipe’s trade-offs before choosing a flavour. This would be the main consideration for around 29% of consumers.
Fruit and texture Tell fruity flavour apart from fruit pieces; check the stated fruit content and the described texture. When I’m looking for more flavour and character, fruit pieces and consistency matter more to me than protein content. Around 21% of consumers would prioritise these features.
Pack size and storage Check the number of pots, use-by date and storage instructions. If I’m buying several pots to have after my workouts, I need to be able to store and eat them in time. Around 14% of consumers would put this ahead of the other criteria.

Common mix-ups to avoid

  • Assuming all fruit skyr has the same protein content

    For the products reviewed, Yoplait France lists 7.6 g of protein per 100 g for its Skyr Brassé, compared with 2.7 g per 100 g for its Skyr on a bed of fruit. The range name doesn’t tell you the nutritional value of the recipe you’ve chosen.

    Check the “protein” and “sugars” lines for the specific flavour.

  • Assuming “0%” tells you everything about the nutritional profile

    Auchan France’s product details for Danone 0% fruit yoghurt list 50 kcal per 100 g and mention sweeteners. These details alone don’t tell you how much protein is in your serving.

    Compare protein, sugars, fat and ingredients rather than relying on a single claim on the front of the pack.

  • Confusing fruit pieces with protein content

    The fruit yoghurt with pieces reviewed at Auchan France contains around 10% fruit, depending on the variety, and provides 3.2 g of protein per 100 g. According to Danone France, HiPRO Blueberry contains 5% blueberries and 9.4 g of protein per 100 g. These figures describe different things.

    For flavour and texture, look at the fruit and recipe; for protein, check the nutritional information.

  • Buying a large multipack without checking the use-by date

    The DGCCRF reminds shoppers to follow the use-by date and the storage instructions provided.

    Choose a number of pots that suits how quickly you’ll use them, and check the use-by date before buying.

    A pack that’s too large could leave you with pots you can’t eat before the use-by date.

Brands and ranges to explore

HiPRO Blueberry is worth comparing if protein per pot is your top priority.

  • Danone France lists 15 g of protein per 160 g pot and 5% blueberries.

  • Yoplait France lists 7.6 g of protein per 100 g for the Skyr Brassé reviewed.
  • The Skyr on a bed of fruit reviewed provides 2.7 g of protein per 100 g. Check the recipe rather than relying on the word “skyr” alone.

The fruit yoghurt reviewed may appeal if you’re looking for a whole milk recipe containing fruit.

  • Carrefour France’s product details list 77.6% whole milk and 10% fruit for this product.

Not necessarily. For the products considered, Danone France lists 9.4 g of protein per 100 g for HiPRO Blueberry, while Auchan’s product details for mixed fruit yoghurt with pieces list 3.2 g per 100 g. Compare serving sizes too: these products aren’t sold in the same format.

No. Yoplait France lists 7.6 g of protein per 100 g for the Skyr Brassé reviewed, compared with 2.7 g per 100 g for its Skyr on a bed of fruit. Check the nutritional information for the flavour and recipe you’re buying.

What should I look for on the label of a fruity snack?

Start with the product description, ingredients list, nutritional information and the portion you’ll eat. If you need to avoid an ingredient, check the exact recipe: the DGCCRF states that allergens must be highlighted on food labels.

Can you eat yoghurt after its use-by date?

No. If the date shown is a use-by date, you must not eat the product after it, according to the DGCCRF. You should also follow the storage instructions on the packaging.
