Chobani Fit High Protein Greek Yoghurt Vanilla
Chobani Fit High Protein Greek Yoghurt Vanilla: independently scored 10.0/10 on Protein Score and 9.0/10 on Clean Score by ProteinScore.
15.4g protein per serve · 93 cal · 5g sugar · 58mg sodium · 160g serve.
Overview
This tub stakes its claim in the crowded yoghurt chiller by getting two things right: high protein and low sugar. While many flavoured yoghurts push past 10g of sugar per 100g, this one keeps it to just 3.1g, and none of it is added. It's a Greek-style base, meaning the dairy has been strained to concentrate the protein, which is how it lands a respectable 9.6g of protein per 100g. To achieve its sweetness without sugar, the ingredient list includes natural sweetener (stevia) and lactase enzyme, which breaks down the naturally occurring milk sugars. This makes it a gentler option for some. We also see live cultures on the list, a given for a true yoghurt, alongside a vegetable gum to keep the texture consistent. Compared to the brand's Fit High Protein Greek Yoghurt tub in Blueberry, this vanilla version matches it on protein and has fractionally less sugar. It sits well above the category average for protein density and significantly below the average for sugar, making it one of the more nutritionally-focused options you can grab. As a single-serve 160g tub, it's built for convenience. It's a straightforward, grab-and-go solution for anyone needing a quick 15 grams of protein without mixing a shake or cracking an egg.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
Getting the protein number without a high calorie count is the key trade-off here. This tub manages it well, packing 16.6g of protein for every 100 calories, a density that puts most of the yoghurt aisle on notice. The final Protein Score/10 reflects this strong performance. The 15.4g of protein in a single 160g serve is substantial, clearing the bar for a post-workout snack or forming the base of a genuinely filling breakfast. It sits comfortably at the top end of the 6-10g per 100g protein benchmark we see for typical Greek yoghurts. Against the wider yoghurt category, it's a standout performer, clearing the average score with ease. For anyone tracking macros, this tub delivers a clean protein hit without forcing you to account for a heap of incidental sugar or fat.
Clean Score: 9.0/10
The label is notable for what's missing: no artificial sweeteners, no added colours, and no preservatives. This clean slate is the primary driver of its 9/10 score, putting it ahead of the typical product in the category for ingredient simplicity. The ingredient list totals 12 items, which is right on the category average. The two additives present are steviol glycosides (a natural sweetener derived from the stevia plant) and guar gum, a common vegetable gum used to ensure a thick, consistent texture without needing extra fat or sugar. Chobani also includes lactase enzyme, which breaks down the natural milk sugar (lactose). While not strictly an additive for scoring purposes, its presence makes the tub more accessible for those who are sensitive to dairy. It's a thoughtful touch that signals a product designed with specific dietary needs in mind.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the sugar in this yoghurt added or natural?
- All of the sugar in this yoghurt is naturally occurring from the milk. The nutrition panel states 3.1g of sugar per 100g, which comes from lactose, the natural sugar found in dairy. The ingredients list confirms there is no added sugar, with sweetness coming from natural sweetener (stevia) instead. This makes it a strong choice for anyone monitoring their added sugar intake.
- How does this compare to plain Greek yoghurt for protein?
- It sits at the top end of the benchmark for Greek yoghurt. We typically see unflavoured Greek yoghurts containing between 6g and 10g of protein per 100g. At 9.6g of protein per 100g, this tub is a high-performer, delivering the density you expect from a properly strained yoghurt. It's a significant step up from standard, non-strained yoghurts which usually land between 4-6g.
- Is Chobani Fit yoghurt lactose-free?
- It is formulated to be friendly for those with lactose intolerance. The ingredient list includes lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose, the natural sugar in milk that can cause digestive issues for some people. While not marketed with a "lactose-free" claim on the front, the addition of this enzyme makes it a suitable choice for many who typically avoid dairy. We would still suggest patch testing if you are highly sensitive.
- Does this yoghurt have live cultures?
- Yes, the ingredient list confirms the presence of live cultures. These are the beneficial bacteria that are essential for turning milk into yoghurt. The specific strains are not named on the tub, which is common for many supermarket yoghurts. Their presence is a sign of a genuine, fermented dairy product. If you are looking for specific probiotic strains, you would need to find a product that names them on the label.
- Where can I buy this Chobani Fit yoghurt?
- This product is widely available in major Australian supermarkets. It is catalogued at both Coles and Woolworths, so you should be able to find it in the chilled dairy aisle of most of their stores. Availability can vary by individual store location, but it is a mainstream product, not a specialty item. It may also be available direct from the brand's website.
