Protein yoghurts members logged
Share of protein yoghurt loggersLidl’s own label, Milbona, came third (19%), so two of the top three are supermarket own labels. Graham’s (16%) and Danone (14%) followed. Protein yoghurt here includes skyr and quark.
Members can log more than one brand, so the shares add up to more than 100%. This is popularity in members’ diaries, not a ranking of which protein yoghurt is better.
What this means
Supermarket own labels hold two of the top three places, so a protein yoghurt doesn’t have to be a branded one. Compare protein per pot on the label.
What the research says
Higher-protein diets during weight loss were linked with more fat loss and better preservation of lean mass in shorter trials, with about 25–30 g of protein a meal often suggested.

Protein supplements added to resistance training gave modest extra gains in muscle and strength, levelling off at about 1.6 g of protein per kg a day.

Method in brief. UK ParrotPal members’ anonymised food diaries, February to August 2026. A share is the share of members in that category who logged the brand at least once; deleted entries don’t count. Every brand shown was logged by at least 50 members.
Aggregates only: every group shown has 50 or more members and no share rests on fewer than 10. Patterns in what members logged, not causes. who’s counted · the 50/10 rule · brand shares.
