Overview
This tub is the antidote to the over-engineered yoghurt aisle, built on a simple, traditional Greek-style base. Its sugar count is less than half the category average we see across yoghurts, making it a solid breakfast anchor rather than a dessert. The ingredient list is as short as it gets, which builds immediate trust. Compared with Chobani's own Natural Light Greek yoghurt, this whole milk version has fractionally less protein but also less sugar, trading a tiny macro dip for a richer texture from the full-fat cream. It sits in a sweet spot, balancing protein performance with a more traditional, less aggressively lean profile. The use of cream alongside skim milk gives it a satisfying thickness and a less tangy profile than many fat-free alternatives. We find it works as a standalone breakfast base, a smoothie thickener, or a sour cream substitute in savoury dishes without bringing unwanted sweetness. The 907g bulk tub format suits households or high-frequency users, portioning out to just under six standard serves. It's a straightforward, high-quality staple for the weekly shop.
Protein Score: 9.6/10
Protein here comes from strained skim milk and cream, the traditional method for creating dense Greek yoghurt. The process yields 8.6g of protein per 100g, the result that sits comfortably within the Greek yoghurt benchmark and earns an 8.7/10. A single 160g serve delivers 13.7g of protein, a significant contribution towards daily targets without needing a protein powder. This density puts it well ahead of standard plain yoghurts and clears the category average for protein. The protein-per-calorie ratio is in the expected range, offering a satisfying hit for the energy cost. It's a smart choice for anyone wanting a post-workout food that isn't a shake, or for anchoring a breakfast with a slow-release dairy protein.
Clean Score: 10.0/10
Chobani's reputation is partly built on short, recognisable ingredient lists, and this tub is a prime example. With just three ingredients and zero additives, gums, or sweeteners, it achieves a perfect 10/10 Clean Score, clearing the category average with ease. The list contains only skim milk, cream, and live cultures. There are no thickeners, stabilisers, or preservatives needed, which shows the quality of the straining process. This is as close to traditional, home-strained yoghurt as you'll find on a mass-market shelf. This clean profile means the texture and flavour are purely from the dairy itself, not engineered. For shoppers actively avoiding artificial sweeteners, thickeners like corn starch, or any E-numbers, this is one of the cleanest and most trustworthy options in the entire chiller.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the sugar in this yoghurt added or natural?
- All of the sugar in this yoghurt is naturally occurring. The 2.7g of sugar per 100g comes from lactose, which is the natural sugar found in milk. Chobani does not add any sugar, syrups, or artificial sweeteners to this product. This makes its sugar content significantly lower than most flavoured yoghurts and many plain ones. We think it's a great choice for a breakfast base where you control the sweetness.
- How does this compare to other Chobani yoghurts for protein?
- This tub sits in the upper-middle of the brand's protein offerings. At 8.6g of protein per 100g, it's a strong performer and typical for a quality Greek yoghurt. However, Chobani's 'Fit' and 'High Protein' tubs push this higher, often over 10g per 100g. The trade-off is that this whole milk version offers a richer texture and simpler ingredient list than some of the more specialised options. We'd choose this for all-round quality, not for the absolute highest protein hit.
- Does Chobani Greek Yoghurt have live cultures?
- Yes, it contains live yoghurt cultures as the third and final ingredient. The cultures are what ferment the milk to create yoghurt, contributing to its classic tangy taste and thick texture. The brand doesn't name the specific strains on this particular tub's label, but their presence is essential to the product being a true yoghurt. For a simple, traditional yoghurt, the inclusion of live cultures is a key sign of quality.
- Where can I buy the Chobani 907g Greek Yoghurt tub?
- This bulk tub is widely available in the chiller aisle of major Australian supermarkets. We have it catalogued as being stocked at both Coles and Woolworths. Availability can vary by individual store location, but it's a core product in the Chobani lineup. It may also be available direct from the brand or other retailers. We'd suggest checking the dairy section at your local Coles or Woolies.
- What does this whole milk Greek yoghurt taste like?
- It has a rich, creamy flavour with a mild tang, which is characteristic of whole milk Greek yoghurt. Unlike fat-free or 'light' versions that can be quite sharp and acidic, the 4% fat content here balances the flavour and creates a much smoother, thicker texture on the palate. It's not sweet at all, making it a neutral base for toppings like fruit or honey. We'd describe it as a classic, satisfying Greek yoghurt taste.
