My starting point for a low-point, high-protein yoghurt is plain, fat-free yoghurt – but I check the exact product in the WW app. Some plain options may be ZeroPoint, while flavoured pots need a separate check. A 160 g GetPRO pot, for example, provides 15 g protein.
I compare protein, sugars, saturated fat and Points for the portion I’ll eat, not just the pack size. 0% fat doesn’t mean sugar-free, and I log toppings separately.
Quick Comparison
Here’s my shortlist. Some pack sizes and protein figures differ between the article’s table and product sections, so <u>I use the pack label and WW app to settle any differences</u>.
| Yoghurt | Style | Portion to check | Main consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arla Protein Raspberry | Flavoured yoghurt | 200 g pot | 20 g protein; contains sweeteners |
| Lindahls Kvarg Raspberry | Quark | 150 g pot | Thick texture; check flavoured-product Points |
| Lindahls Kvarg Vanilla | Quark | 150 g pot | 15 g protein; contains sweeteners |
| Arla Skyr Natural | Plain skyr | 150 g | No added sugar or sweeteners |
| Danone Skyr Natural | Plain skyr | 150–160 g | Check serving size and protein on the label |
| Danone Skyr Strawberry | Flavoured skyr | 150 g | Check pack format, sugars and Points |
| Waitrose High Protein Natural | Strained yoghurt | 150 g | Product section lists 17.3 g protein |
| Brooklea Greek Yoghurt 0% Fat | Greek yoghurt | 150 g | Check the exact Brooklea version |
| Alpro High Protein Red Berries | Soya alternative | Check pack size | Dairy-free; contains soya and sweeteners |
| GetPRO Strawberry | Flavoured yoghurt | 160 g pot | 15 g protein; no added sugar |
My final check: match the brand, flavour, pack and serving in the app, then count honey, granola, nuts or other toppings separately. If you avoid milk or soya, check the allergen label too.

†Pack details and protein estimates come from the supplied information. Total sugars and saturated fat figures were not provided.
‡Scan the barcode in the WW app to confirm Points for your product and portion.
For label comparisons, multiply the per-100 g figures by 1.5 for 150 g, 1.6 for 160 g or 2 for 200 g. Use this calculation for protein, sugars and saturated fat only – not Points.
Next, check the label details that most affect Points.
1. Arla Protein Raspberry Yoghurt
Allow 2–3 Points per 200 g pot, but scan the barcode in the WW app to check the exact value for your plan.
This flavoured, ready-to-eat yoghurt is a handy choice when convenience comes first.
Protein per portion
Each 200 g pot provides 20 g of protein and is fat-free (0% fat).
Sugars and saturated fat
The raspberry yoghurt contains added sweeteners and negligible saturated fat.
Portion size and use
Eating half? Log half the pot. Toppings such as granola or honey add Points.
2. Lindahls Kvarg Raspberry
Lindahls Kvarg Raspberry is a fruit-flavoured option in a smaller pot than the shared skyr tubs. Kvarg is a thick, quark-style dairy product that’s high in protein.
Protein per portion
For a 150 g pot, use the protein figure per pot on the label, or multiply the per-100 g figure by 1.5.
Indicative WW Points
Allow 1–2 Points, then check the raspberry entry in the WW app to confirm.
Sugars and saturated fat
Check the nutrition panel and ingredients list for added sugar, sweeteners and saturated fat.
Portion size and use
The 150 g pot gives you a fixed portion, which can make Points easier to manage.
Next, compare it with the vanilla kvarg and plain skyr options.
3. Lindahls Kvarg Vanilla
Lindahls Kvarg Vanilla is a sweeter, dessert-style kvarg that comes in a fixed 150 g pot.
Protein per portion
Each 150 g pot provides 15 g protein and about 81–84 kcal.
Indicative WW Points
Scan the barcode in the WW app to check how its Points are calculated. Do not assume it is ZeroPoint.
Sugars and saturated fat
Each pot contains 0.3 g fat, 0.2 g saturates and 4.7–5.6 g sugars. It uses sweeteners rather than added sugar, but that does not make it sugar-free. Check the label.
Portion size and use
Made from 93% quark, it has a thick, smooth texture that works as dessert straight from the pot. The main drawback is the sweeteners. Contains milk.
For a plainer tub, compare the skyr options.
4. Arla Skyr Natural
Compared with the smaller kvarg pots above, this 450 g tub gives you more plain skyr to portion yourself.
Protein per portion
Arla Skyr Natural provides about 16 g of protein per 150 g serving, or about 49 g per tub.
Indicative WW Points
A 150 g serving is typically 0 Points on current WW plans. Scan the barcode to confirm.
Sugars and saturated fat
The plain version contains no added sugar or sweeteners. Each 150 g serving has about 6 g of naturally occurring milk sugars and 0 g of saturated fat.
Portion size and use
Pair it with fruit, oats or cinnamon. Log honey, nuts and seeds separately.
5. Danone Skyr Natural
This plain skyr offers a simple, low-point base with 14 g protein per 160 g serving.
Protein per portion
A 160 g portion provides 14 g protein.
Indicative WW Points
A plain, fat-free serving is ZeroPoint on the current programme.
Sugars and saturated fat
It contains 0 g fat and 0 g saturates, with no added sugars or sweeteners. Any sugars are naturally occurring.
Portion size and use
If serving from a larger tub, use digital scales and the tare button to weigh out 160 g. Use it as a base for sweet or savoury dishes, or add berries or sliced fruit for flavour.
For a fruitier option, compare the strawberry skyr next.
6. Danone Skyr Strawberry
This 150 g pot offers a flavoured alternative to plain skyr and makes a quick, high-protein snack.
Protein per portion
Each 150 g pot provides about 14 g of protein.
Indicative WW Points
The whole pot is about 3 Points. Scan the barcode in the WW app to check the current value.
Sugars and saturated fat
It’s low in saturates, with around 0.1 g per pot, but contains more sugar than plain skyr. Check the nutrition panel and ingredients list for added sugars or sweeteners.
Portion size and use
Eat it straight from the pot, or add berries for more volume with minimal Points. Track any honey or granola separately. If sugar is your main concern, check the label before choosing.
7. Waitrose High Protein Natural Yoghurt
Waitrose’s 450g tub is a plain, fat-free strained yoghurt with just one ingredient: strained yoghurt (milk).
Protein per portion
It contains 11.5g protein per 100g, giving you 17.3g in a 150g portion. Waitrose also lists a 225g serving, which provides 25.8g protein.
Indicative WW Points
Check the app or calculate Weight Watchers Points for this tub and your chosen portion.
Sugars and saturated fat
A 150g portion contains about 6.8g sugars, all naturally occurring milk sugars. Saturates round to 0g per 100g, but the half-tub figure shows 0.2g. Use the label’s portion figures rather than the rounded per-100g line.
Portion size and use
Use it in sweet or savoury bowls. It works in a range of dishes and has no added sweeteners, but you’ll need to measure it out for consistent servings.
For another plain, high-protein tub option, compare it with the next yoghurt.
8. Brooklea Greek Yoghurt 0% Fat
Aldi’s Brooklea 500g tub is another plain, high-protein base. Check the wording on the pack, as Brooklea versions can differ.
Protein per portion
A 150g serving provides about 15.6g protein and 86 kcal.
Indicative WW Points
Scan the exact tub in the WW app and set the portion to 150g.
Sugars and saturated fat
Using Aldi’s listed values, a 150g serving contains approximately 5.3g sugars, 0g fat and 0g saturates. Fat-free doesn’t mean sugar-free, but don’t assume those sugars are added. Check the ingredients list.
Portion size and use
Weigh out 150g rather than guessing. A 500g tub gives about three portions of this size, with a little left over.
The main plus is 15g+ protein for few calories. The drawback? You need to portion it yourself. Have it as a snack or use it as a dip, and log honey, granola or other toppings separately.
For a dairy-free option, compare it with the Alpro pot next.
9. Alpro High Protein Red Berries
This soya-based pot is a dairy-free snack that’s easy to portion.
Protein per portion
Each 200 g pot provides 15 g of plant-based protein. It contains soya, so it’s unsuitable for anyone with a soya allergy.
Indicative WW Points
Allow 3 Points per 200 g pot as a guide. Check the exact product and portion in the WW app to confirm.
Sugars and saturated fat
A 200 g pot contains about 10.6–11 g of sugar and 0.2 g of saturated fat. The recipe includes fruit sugars and the sweeteners sucralose and acesulfame K.
Portion size and use
The flavoured recipe still uses Points. Enjoy the whole pot as a snack, or add raspberries or strawberries for more volume.
10. GetPRO Strawberry High Protein Yoghurt
GetPRO Strawberry High Protein Yoghurt comes in a 160 g single pot with 15 g protein. It’s a sweet, ready-flavoured Weight Watchers foods choice for convenience – not to be confused with GetPRO’s separate 300 g drink.
Protein per portion
Each pot provides 15 g protein and 88 kcal, with 9.4 g protein per 100 g. It contains milk, so check the allergen statement if you avoid dairy.
Indicative WW Points
Allow an estimated 1–2 Points per pot. Scan the pack in the WW app for the exact value. You can also use other Weight Watchers tools to track your progress.
Sugars and saturated fat
A pot contains approximately 5.8 g sugars and 0.2 g saturated fat. There’s no added sugar, but it isn’t sugar-free. The recipe includes acesulfame K and sucralose; check the pack for any changes.
Portion size and use
Eat chilled as a dessert-style snack. You get 15 g protein in one pot, though the sweetened recipe may not suit you if you prefer plain yoghurt.
Next, check the label details that affect Points most.
What to check on yoghurt labels
Use the table above to shortlist your yoghurt, then check the label for details that can change its Points.
Protein per portion
Check how much protein is in the portion you’ll eat. For larger tubs, calculate: protein per 100 g × serving weight ÷ 100.
Sugars, sweeteners and saturated fat
Compare sugars and saturates per 100 g, then work out the amounts for your serving. UK labels show total sugars, including lactose, but don’t always list added sugar separately. Check the ingredients for sugar, syrups, honey and sweeteners.
Yoghurt types and allergens
Greek yoghurt is strained, while Greek-style yoghurt may use other methods to thicken it. Skyr, kvarg and quark are different products, so compare the nutrition, not just the name. Flavour, protein and Points can vary even within the same style.
Check the milk or soya allergen line and any ‘may contain’ warning whenever the flavour, size or recipe changes.
WW entries and toppings
Match the exact brand, flavour, formulation and pack size in your WW app. Track toppings separately: granola, honey, nuts, chocolate and nut butter all add Points.
Choose by portion, protein and personal Points
Use the table and check the labels to find the right balance of portion size, protein and Points for your plan. Then confirm the exact Points in the WW app.
Flavoured pots work well when you’re on the go, while plain soya yoghurt is a dairy-free option. Use the same portion, protein and Points checks for both.
Pick a serving size that suits your appetite, protein target and daily Points budget: portion first, then protein, then Points.

FAQs
Should I limit portions of ZeroPoint yoghurt?
ZeroPoint yoghurt has no set portion limits, so you don’t need to restrict how much you have. These foods support a healthy eating pattern and are naturally less likely to lead to overeating. Let your hunger guide you, and eat until you feel satisfied.
Any extras, such as honey, nuts or granola, will add Points to your total.
Is extra protein worth using more Points?
Usually not if you’re aiming to keep Points low. Plain 0% fat Greek yoghurt and plain 0% fat skyr are filling, high-protein choices that are often 0 Points. Choose these over flavoured or processed options that offer similar nutrition.
A portable, high-protein snack that uses Points is only worth it if it keeps you satisfied for longer. Check the WW app, as ingredients and Points vary by brand.
What if the label and WW app disagree?
Check the official WW app or website first for the most accurate, up-to-date Points information. Values depend on calories, protein, sugar and fat, and can change when recipes or pack sizes are updated.
If a barcode scan shows an unexpected value, check the nutrition label against the app’s entry. You can also enter the nutritional values from the packaging into the WW app’s built-in Points calculator.
