Buying & storing

  • Check the protein line: proper strained yogurt has 9-10g per 100g, while thickened Greek-style often has half that
  • Full fat keeps you full longer and needs no added starch
  • Big pots cost less per gram than multipacks

Keep it well: Fridge, obviously; an unopened pot usually outlasts its date by a few days.
