With so many yoghurt options lining supermarket shelves, it can be tough to know which ones are truly healthy. According to dietitians, traditional Greek yoghurt stands out for its high protein, low fat, and minimal additives—making it a top pick for those seeking a nutrient-dense snack. However, it’s often pricier and harder to find than Greek-style or potset varieties, which may contain more sugar or thickeners. For those managing diabetes or cholesterol, low-fat and Greek-style yoghurts are recommended, but watch out for added sugars. Flavoured yoghurts are best avoided unless sweetened naturally, while high-protein options like Chobani Fit and YoPRO are ideal for active individuals or those needing extra protein. No-added-sugar and probiotic yoghurts can be useful, but may contain artificial sweeteners. Lactose-free and coconut yoghurts offer alternatives for those with intolerances, though they may have less protein and calcium.
