Sainsbury's and Aldi are my usual supermarkets for weekly shopping due to their reasonable prices and proximity. However, I have increasingly been visiting Marks and Spencer (M&S) for one specific product: their 0% fat Greek yoghurt with fruit compote.
Why M&S Yoghurt Stands Out
I used to avoid M&S because of its reputation for high prices, but I now believe that for certain items, the extra cost is justified. I previously noted the superior quality of M&S chicken compared to Sainsbury's and Aldi. Several months ago, while searching for Greek yoghurt in the dairy aisle, I discovered small pots of 0% fat Greek yoghurt accompanied by fruit compote in cherry, peach, and honey variants.
I bought all three flavours at £1.20 each and found the peach flavour to be the best. These yoghurts are essentially an elevated, healthier version of a Muller Corner: the main compartment contains Greek yoghurt, while the smaller section holds a sweet compote or honey.
Nutritional Benefits and Comparison
Each pot contains only 113 calories and over 12 grams of protein, making it an excellent breakfast or snack option. For comparison, Fage offers a similar product at Sainsbury's, but it comes only with honey, has less protein per 100g, and more calories. Aldi also stocks small pots of 0% fat Greek yoghurt in mango, raspberry, honey, and vanilla, but the yoghurt itself did not meet my expectations.
If you enjoy Greek yoghurt paired with fruit, especially peaches or cherries, these M&S pots are worth purchasing. I consumed four of them in a single week.
