Greggs Fruit Pots, Yoghurts & Light Sides Guide (2026)

Greggs fruit pots are one of the best-value light options on the whole menu: both fruit pots cost £1.50, the fat-free yoghurt is £1.60, and the apple and strawberry pot is officially the lightest item Greggs sells at just 43 calories. If you want something fresh and light next to your sausage roll — or instead of it — this guide covers every light side Greggs sells, what each one costs, how they fit into the meal deals, and which combinations give you the best value.

Everything below uses standard high-street takeaway prices. Prices vary by store — city-centre and London branches charge more, and airport and station shops charge more still — and this site is not affiliated with Greggs.

Greggs Fruit Pots, Yoghurt & Light Sides at a Glance

Here is the full light range in one place, with the prices we have verified for 2026:

Item	Price	What you get
Apple & Strawberry Fruit Pot	£1.50	43 kcal — the lightest item on the menu
Melon & Grape Fruit Pot	£1.50	Fresh melon and grapes, ready to eat
Fat Free Greek Style Yoghurt	£1.60	With strawberry compote
Side Salad	About £1.55	A small salad side with your main
Simply Creamy Porridge	£1.45	Breakfast option, served until 11am
Golden Syrup Porridge	£1.45	Breakfast option, served until 11am
Apple & Cinnamon Porridge	£1.45	Breakfast option, served until 11am

That is the whole light range. It is a small list, but it punches above its weight: the fruit pots and the yoghurt are also the snack choices inside the Core Lunch Deal, which makes them some of the most useful items on the menu once you understand how the deals work.

Greggs Fruit Pots: What Is in the Pot?

Greggs sells two fruit pots, both priced at £1.50. They are grab-and-go pots of cut fruit, made to be eaten with a fork on the move, and they are the cheapest fresh option on the menu. There is no cheaper fruit on the Greggs menu, and at £1.50 they cost less than most of the sweet treats — a jam doughnut is £1.10, but a pink jammie doughnut is £1.40 and a triple chocolate doughnut is £1.50, so the fruit pot sits right in the same price band as the doughnuts while being a very different kind of snack.

Apple & Strawberry Fruit Pot — £1.50

This is the one to pick if you are counting calories. At 43 calories it is the lightest item on the entire Greggs menu — lighter than a regular Americano’s 9 calories is not the comparison, because a coffee is a drink, but among actual food it is the lowest-calorie thing Greggs sells. It is apple and strawberry, cut up and ready to eat, and it works as a snack on its own, as a light breakfast, or as the snack part of a lunch deal. If you have ever looked at the Greggs menu and wondered what the healthiest single item is, this is the answer, and it costs £1.50.

Melon & Grape Fruit Pot — £1.50

The second pot is melon and grape, also £1.50. It is the same idea — fresh cut fruit, no cooking, no fuss — with a slightly sweeter mix. Greggs does not publish a calorie figure for this one in the data we have verified, so we will not guess one. What we can say is that it is the same price, the same size idea, and the same role on the menu: a light, fresh side that balances out a heavier main. If you like melon, pick this one; if you want the lowest-calorie option, pick the apple and strawberry pot.

Both pots are worth knowing about for one practical reason: they travel well. Unlike a hot bake, a fruit pot does not go soggy in your bag, does not need to be eaten immediately, and does not leave your hands greasy. That makes them a good desk snack, a good train snack, and a good thing to buy with a sandwich for later.

Fat Free Greek Style Yoghurt — £1.60

The yoghurt is the third light option, and it is slightly different from the fruit pots. It is a fat-free Greek style yoghurt served with strawberry compote, priced at £1.60. That is 10p more than a fruit pot, and it is the creamiest light option on the menu — it feels more like a proper snack than a pot of fruit does, which matters if you are trying to replace a doughnut or a cookie rather than just add something fresh to your lunch.

There are two things to know about the yoghurt. First, the price can vary: some stores list it at around £1.95, so the £1.60 figure is the standard high-street price and your local shop may charge a little more. Second, it is one of the snack choices in the Core Lunch Deal, which means you can get it as part of a £4.25 lunch instead of buying it on its own — more on that below.

If you are choosing between the yoghurt and a fruit pot, the honest answer is that it comes down to taste. The yoghurt is richer and more filling; the fruit pot is lighter and fresher. Both are good, both are cheap, and neither will blow your lunch budget.

Side Salad — About £1.55

The side salad is the quietest item in this guide. It costs about £1.55 — prices vary a little from shop to shop, roughly in the £1.55 to £1.85 range — and it is exactly what it sounds like: a small salad you add to a hot main. It is not a meal on its own, and Greggs does not really sell it as one. Its job is to sit next to a steak bake or a pizza slice and make the plate feel a bit more balanced.

Is it worth it? If you are eating in the shop and want something green with your bake, yes. If you are grabbing lunch to go, the fruit pot is usually the better buy: it costs about the same, it travels better, and it works as a snack later if you do not eat it straight away. The side salad is a nice option to know about, but it is not the star of the light range.

Light Breakfast Options: Porridge

Breakfast has its own light corner, and it is worth a mention here because the same logic applies: something warm, cheap, and lighter than a bacon roll. Greggs sells three porridges, all at £1.45, all served until 11am as part of the breakfast menu:

• Simply Creamy Porridge — £1.45. Plain porridge, no toppings, the cheapest warm breakfast Greggs sells.
• Golden Syrup Porridge — £1.45. The same porridge with golden syrup for sweetness.
• Apple & Cinnamon Porridge — £1.45. Apple and cinnamon, the most flavoured of the three.

At £1.45, a porridge costs less than a bacon breakfast roll (£2.20) and less than a sausage breakfast roll (£2.20), and it is a genuinely filling start to the day. It also pairs neatly with the Breakfast Deal: a porridge is not a breakfast roll, so it is not part of the standard £3.25 Breakfast Deal, but a regular hot drink alongside it — a regular tea is £1.50, a regular Americano is £1.80 — still keeps the whole breakfast under £3.30. For a full guide to the morning menu, see our Greggs Breakfast Menu guide.

How Light Sides Fit Into Greggs Meal Deals

This is where the fruit pots and the yoghurt stop being small snacks and start being genuinely good value. The Core Lunch Deal costs £4.25 and includes a sandwich, baguette or roll, plus a snack, plus a hot or cold drink. The snack can be crisps, a fruit pot, or a yoghurt — and that choice changes the value of the deal.

Take a real example. A roast chicken salad sandwich costs £3.10 on its own. Add a melon and grape fruit pot at £1.50 and a small still water at £1.30, and you have spent £5.90. The Core Lunch Deal gives you all three for £4.25, which saves you £1.65. The fruit pot is doing real work in that deal: it is the most expensive snack option you can pick, so it squeezes the most value out of the fixed £4.25 price. Crisps cost £1.20, so picking crisps as your snack saves you less in the deal than picking a £1.50 fruit pot or a £1.60 yoghurt.

The same logic applies to the Three-Part Breakfast Deal at £4.15, which is a breakfast roll or baguette plus a side plus a drink. The yoghurt counts as a side in that deal, so a bacon breakfast roll (£2.20) plus a yoghurt (£1.60) plus a regular tea (£1.50) would cost £5.30 bought separately — the deal price of £4.15 saves you £1.15. For the full maths on every deal, see our Greggs meal deals explained guide and the meal deals page.

Best Value Light Combos

If you want the lightest lunch that still feels like a proper lunch, here are the combinations that work best, using verified prices:

• The lightest lunch: Apple & strawberry fruit pot (£1.50, 43 kcal) with a regular Americano (£1.80, 9 kcal). Total £3.30, and the lowest-calorie pairing on the menu.
• The best-value light lunch: Core Lunch Deal (£4.25) with a tuna mayonnaise and cucumber sandwich (£2.60), a fruit pot (£1.50) and a small still water (£1.30). Bought separately that is £5.40, so the deal saves £1.15.
• The filling light breakfast: Apple & cinnamon porridge (£1.45) with a regular tea (£1.50). Total £2.95, under £3, warm and filling.
• The creamy option: Fat-free Greek style yoghurt (£1.60) with a regular Americano (£1.80). Total £3.40, and the yoghurt makes it feel like a real snack rather than just fruit.
• The desk lunch: A fruit pot (£1.50) bought with a sandwich from the full Greggs menu — eat the sandwich now, save the fruit pot for the afternoon.

Are Greggs Fruit Pots Good Value?

At £1.50, a fruit pot costs more than a packet of crisps (£1.20) and the same as a triple chocolate doughnut (£1.50). Compared with supermarket fruit pots, which often cost £1.50 to £2.00 for a similar size, the Greggs price is fair — you are paying high-street convenience-store prices, not a premium. And compared with the rest of the Greggs menu, the fruit pot is one of the cheapest things you can buy that is not a doughnut.

The real value test is the meal deal. On its own, £1.50 for a pot of cut fruit is reasonable. Inside the £4.25 Core Lunch Deal, it is excellent, because the deal price is fixed no matter which snack you pick — so the £1.50 fruit pot and the £1.60 yoghurt are the snacks that get you the most for your money. If you buy the lunch deal and pick crisps, you are leaving value on the table.

One more practical point: availability. Fruit pots and yoghurt are chilled items, and smaller shops can sell out of them by the afternoon. If you want one as part of a lunch deal, earlier in the day is safer — the same is true of the porridge, which is a breakfast item and stops being served at 11am.

What to Order If You Are Watching Calories

We only publish calorie figures we have verified, and for the light range that means one headline number: the apple and strawberry fruit pot at 43 calories. That is the lightest food item on the Greggs menu, full stop. A regular Americano is 9 calories, if you want a hot drink to go with it, and that pairing — fruit pot plus Americano — is the lowest-calorie combination we can verify on the menu.

Beyond that, the honest advice is to pick fresh over fried and to check the Greggs app for the calorie figures of individual items before you order. Our Greggs calories guide covers the lightest choices across the whole menu, and our full calories list has the verified figures for 73 items. We will not guess calorie counts for the melon and grape pot or the yoghurt — if you need those numbers, the Greggs app is the place to check.
