Protein Yogurts: Which One is Better?

A product much sought after, and even talked about, in recent years is undoubtedly protein yogurt and why? Because in most cases it is a food rich in protein and low in fats.

On the market you can find natural options, where there is no addition of sugars (or other substitutes), ending up containing a higher protein content, but you also find flavor options, which are the most sought after, since natural protein yogurt (or fresh cheese) has a very bitter taste that not everyone likes, I am the case. It should be noted that those with flavor have additives to be sweeter without adding more calories, being a more processed product than the tasteless version of them.

I decided then to taste some of these yogurts that are on the market and leave my opinion taking into account the taste, price and nutritional table. In the image below you can see the side-by-side comparison of all the yogurts I tasted. I know there are more on the market, but these were the ones I tried to leave my feedback.

Skyr Mimosa Yogurt with Quinoa and Hazelnut

This yogurt for me is the worst of all, not that it has the worst nutritional table, because it doesn't, but because for me the flavor was really unpalatable, and for me it was almost impossible to consume. The "sweet" purée at the bottom of the yogurt was very weak for my taste, of course tastes always depend from person to person. It is also possible to observe that it is among the smallest on the market per dose and also the most expensive, losing a lot in that aspect, besides that it is the one that has more lipids per dose, even having less quantity.

Skyr Continente Yogurt

I want to make it clear that the yogurt I'm talking about here is the one in the image, in Continente there are others with different packaging with a better nutritional table. This one in particular I left almost in last place because it has more sugars, in a full dose it has more than 9 grams of sugar, being the worst of those I tasted in that aspect. Another problem I found in this yogurt is the fact that it is too sweet, perhaps because it has too much "fruit" purée.

+ Proteína Corpos Danone

I really liked the flavor of this yogurt, mainly because I actually felt pieces of fruit in the middle of it. In terms of nutritional table you can observe in the image below that it is quite identical to the Skyr from Lidl in flavor. In my opinion it loses many points because of its price.

Skyr Milbona Flavored (Lidl)

Skyrs from Lidl for me have a fairly bitter aftertaste that I don't love, it is edible however it is not at all among my favorites in terms of flavor. For those who like natural yogurt will like this option because despite having the sweet fruit at the bottom, it is not too sweet.

Skyr Pingo Doce Flavored

I really liked the nutritional information of this yogurt, although it has less protein than the previous ones, it has less sugar per dose which for me is a huge point in favor. Besides, the flavor is more pleasant for me than the Skyr from Lidl, in my opinion.

+ Proteínas Flavored Hacendado (Mercadona)

For me these yogurts have the perfect flavor, it reminds me a lot of Suisinho, who remembers? However, it loses many points for being among those with more sugar per dose and being smaller. Besides the wonderful flavor the price is undoubtedly the most favorable, since you buy the pack of 4 yogurts right away.

YoPro Danone

For me it is one of the best yogurts on the market, however not being a store brand it has a higher price. Each dose is 160g, being larger than most of those mentioned here, which is great. Besides, it is one of those that has more protein per dose. In terms of flavor it is pleasant, although I find it too dense for my taste.

Kvarg Lindahls Nestlé

Undoubtedly in terms of flavor this yogurt is one of the best, especially the coconut flavor that has almost no aftertaste of bitter natural yogurt. To improve it is among the yogurts that have more protein and less sugars, which is really fantastic. Unfortunately its price is quite high, not placing it first.

Milbona Flavored Beaten Fresh Cheese (Lidl)

This fresh cheese, which looks more like a yogurt as you can see, is fantastic in terms of macronutrients per dose. It is the largest of all and yet the one with the least sugar and more protein per dose, having only 4.3 grams of sugar and 22.5 grams of protein for each pack. In terms of flavor it is pleasant, but I do not find it better than Kvarg or +Proteínas Hacendado flavor from Mercadona, in my opinion.

Nutritional comparison table

It is possible to observe that in general the one with the most advantages is the flavored beaten fresh cheese from Lidl, despite having more lipids, it has less sugars, even being the largest of all yogurts, also having more protein. In terms of flavor, the vanilla one, for me, is the best of all, quite light and pleasant.
