Aldi yoghurts are some of the best value options on Slimming World — several Brooklea ranges are completely syn free, and even the flavoured ones are lower than most supermarket equivalents. But not all Aldi yoghurts are equal, and the syn values vary massively depending on which range you pick up.
I’ve listed every Aldi yoghurt below with exact syn values, sorted by range so you can find yours quickly. If you’re standing in the Aldi yoghurt aisle wondering which one to grab, this is the page to check.
The short answer: any fat-free plain yoghurt from Aldi is syn free on Slimming World. That includes their Greek style, natural, and Skyr plain varieties. The moment you add flavouring, fruit, or protein powder, syns start creeping in.
| Aldi Yoghurt | Size | Syns | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brooklea Fat Free Natural Yogurt | 500g | Free | Use as your base — add Free fruit |
| Brooklea Greek Style Fat Free Natural | 500g | Free | Thicker, great for dips and marinades |
| Brooklea Authentic Greek Yoghurt 0% Fat | 500g | Free | Best texture of the free options |
| Brooklea Skyr Fat Free Plain | 450g | Free | High protein, Icelandic style |
| Everyday Essentials Fat Free Natural | 500g | Free | Budget option, perfectly fine |
The Brooklea Light range is where most Slimming World members land — they’re flavoured but reasonably low in syns. The Greek Style Light pots are the best value at 3–3.5 syns.
| Brooklea Light Yoghurt | Size | Syns |
|---|---|---|
| Light Greek Style Strawberry | 4 x 125g | 3.5 |
| Light Greek Style Lemon | 4 x 125g | 3.5 |
| Light Greek Style Coconut & Vanilla | 4 x 125g | 3.5 |
| Light Greek Style Layered Cherry | 125g | 3.5 |
| Light Greek Style Layered Peach & Passion Fruit | 4 x 125g | 3.5 |
| Light Smooth Toffee Fat-Free | 160g | 3.5 |
| Light Raspberry & Cranberry | 160g | 3.5 |
| Light Orange with Dark Chocolate Sprinkles | 160g | 4 |
| Light Strawberry | 175g | 5 |
| Light Vanilla | 175g | 5 |
| Light Banana and Custard | 175g | 5 |
Tip: The 125g Greek Style Light pots are better value than the 175g Light pots — you get a decent portion for 3.5 syns instead of 5. They’re also thicker and more satisfying.
The Active range (no added sugar) is a solid mid-syn option. The Protein range is much higher — the added protein bumps the syns up significantly.
| Brooklea Yoghurt | Size | Syns | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active 0% Fat Peach (No Added Sugar) | 4 x 125g | 3 | Good mid-range option |
| Yogurt Drinks Strawberry | per bottle | 1.5 | Actimel alternative |
| Tube It Strawberry/Peach/Raspberry | per tube | 3.5 | Kids’ favourite |
| Vanilla Protein Yogurt | 200g | 7.5 | Very high — half your daily syns |
| Strawberry Protein Yogurt | 200g | 7.5 | Same — avoid if counting syns |
| Raspberry Protein Yogurt | 200g | 7.5 | Added protein = added syns |
A word on the protein yoghurts: at 7.5 syns for one pot, they’re genuinely not worth it on Slimming World. You’d use half your daily allowance for a single yoghurt. If you want protein, a syn-free Greek yoghurt with some Free fruit gives you a similar protein hit for zero syns.
These are the ones to watch out for. The Greek Style and flavoured yoghurts that aren’t labelled “Light” or “0% Fat” are significantly higher in syns.
| Brooklea Yoghurt | Size | Syns |
|---|---|---|
| Fat Free Strawberry Yogurt | 450g | 5 (per serving) |
| Fat Free Vanilla Yogurt | 450g | 5 (per serving) |
| Greek Style Natural (full fat) | 500g | 6 (per 100g) |
| Authentic Greek Yogurt (full fat) | 500g | 6.5 (per 100g) |
| Skyr Passion Fruit | 150g | 6 |
| Skyr Raspberry | 150g | 6 |
| Greek Style Honey | 450g | 10 (per serving) |
| Greek Style Coconut | 450g | 10.5 (per serving) |
| Split Pots Vanilla Choco Balls | 135g | 10 |
The Split Pots and Greek Style Honey/Coconut are essentially desserts — 10+ syns puts them in the same territory as a chocolate bar. If you fancy something sweet, a Light pot at 3.5 syns is a much better choice.
| Instead of… | Syns | Try… | Syns | You Save |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Protein Yogurt (200g) | 7.5 | Greek 0% Fat + berries | Free | 7.5 syns |
| Split Pots Choco Balls | 10 | Light Orange Choc Sprinkles | 4 | 6 syns |
| Greek Style Honey | 10 | Greek 0% Fat + 1 tsp honey (1 syn) | 1 | 9 syns |
| Skyr Passion Fruit | 6 | Light Greek Peach & Passion Fruit | 3.5 | 2.5 syns |
| Full Fat Greek Natural | 6 | Greek Style Fat Free Natural | Free | 6 syns |
| Supermarket | Best Low-Syn Yoghurt | Syns |
|---|---|---|
| Aldi | Brooklea Light Greek Style | 3.5 |
| Lidl | Milbona Light Greek Style | 3.5 |
| Tesco | Light Choices Greek Style | 3 |
| Asda | Fat Free Greek Style | Free |
| M&S | Fat Free Greek Style | Free |
Aldi’s fat-free plain yoghurts are as good as any supermarket — and usually 30–40p cheaper. For flavoured yoghurts, the Brooklea Light range is competitive with Danone Light & Free and Müller Light.
| Brooklea Yoghurt | WW Points |
|---|---|
| Fat Free Natural / Greek 0% | 0 |
| Light Greek Style (125g) | 2 |
| Light Strawberry (175g) | 3 |
| Active 0% Fat Peach | 2 |
| Protein Yogurt (200g) | 4 |
| Greek Style Honey (serving) | 6 |
No. Only the fat-free plain varieties (natural, Greek style 0%, and plain Skyr) are syn free. Any flavoured, full-fat, or protein yoghurt has syns.
Brooklea Authentic Greek Yoghurt 0% Fat is the best all-rounder — it’s syn free, thick enough to feel satisfying, and works in both sweet and savoury recipes.
They’re very similar in style and syn value. Brooklea Light Greek Style pots are 3.5 syns vs Müller Light at 1–2 syns, but Brooklea’s plain fat-free range is identical in syn terms.
The added protein (usually whey or milk protein) increases the calorie density, which pushes up the syn value. At 7.5 syns per pot, you’re better off having Greek 0% yoghurt (syn free) with a handful of nuts if you want extra protein.
Plain yoghurt isn’t a Healthy Extra on Slimming World — it counts as a Free Food when it’s fat free and unflavoured. Healthy Extras are reserved for milk, cheese, bread and cereals.
Only the plain Skyr is syn free. Flavoured Skyr (Passion Fruit, Raspberry) is around 6 syns per pot because of the added fruit and sugar.
