Our verdict
Arla by a nose — the 20g pot
Per 100g these are twins: 10g protein each, both 100/A. The difference is the pot. Arla's 200g pot delivers 20g protein in one sitting — a genuine snack's worth — against Lindahls' 15g from 150g, and Arla carries the best Clean Score we've seen in yogurts (97 vs 90).
Lindahls' case is leanness: 56 vs 62 kcal per 100g, less fat (0.2g vs 0.5g), less sugar (3.7g vs 3.9g). If you're counting every calorie, the kvarg is the marginally tighter choice.
Verdict: Arla for the bigger protein hit per pot and the cleaner label; Lindahls if you want the leanest 100g in the aisle. You can't go wrong with either.
