Chobani High Protein Greek Yoghurt Tub Strawberry

20.2g protein per serve · 114 cal · 4.5g sugar · 49mg sodium · 190g serve.
Overview
This Strawberry tub sits right alongside Chobani's Vanilla equivalent in the chiller, matching it on protein while adding just a fraction more natural sugar. For a flavoured yoghurt, that's a strong opening. It manages to deliver a fruit flavour without resorting to added sugars, instead using stevia to provide sweetness, keeping the sugar per 100g right down at 2.4g. Compared to the wider yoghurt category, this product stands out. Its 10.6g of protein per 100g is well above the 7.4g average we see across the aisle, a direct result of its strained Greek yoghurt base. Even more notable is the sugar content, which is dramatically lower than the typical 10-14g found in standard flavoured yoghurts. It's a significant difference that shifts this from a dessert-style product to a genuine breakfast staple. We see a lean ingredient list for a flavoured product, leaning on natural colours from black carrot and paprika, and using rice starch as a thickener. The inclusion of the lactase enzyme is a thoughtful touch, intended to help break down the natural lactose in the milk base. The live cultures are expected in a Greek yoghurt, rounding out a well-considered formulation. The 900g bulk tub format makes it a practical choice for households or individuals who get through a lot of yoghurt each week. It's a versatile ingredient for smoothies or a standalone high-protein snack that doesn't come with the usual sugar penalty.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
Is this actually a high-protein yoghurt? Yes, decisively. The 10.6g of protein per 100g puts it at the top of the Greek yoghurt benchmark, while the 20.2g hit in a single 190g serve is substantial. It lands a 9.6/10, a score that reflects its protein density. The protein-per-calorie metric is one of the strongest in the chiller, making it a very efficient way to get a protein serve without a high calorie cost. It clears the category average with ease, using a strained skim milk base to concentrate the protein while keeping fat to a minimum. For a post-workout recovery scoop or a genuinely filling breakfast, this tub delivers. Stacked against the brand's own standard Greek yoghurts, it's a noticeable step up in protein, making it a smart choice for anyone specifically targeting that macronutrient.
Clean Score: 8.9/10
What's in this tub besides yoghurt and strawberries? The list is fairly short for a flavoured product, with 13 ingredients in total. That's a touch over the category average of 11, but it still earns 8.8/10 for its clean profile, avoiding the fillers and artificial additives common in the category. The score is nudged down slightly by the inclusion of a thickener (rice starch) and an acidity regulator. These are common tools to ensure a consistent texture and shelf stability in a mass-produced yoghurt. On the plus side, it uses natural colours and plant-based stevia for sweetness, not artificial sweeteners like sucralose or aspartame. Ultimately, it's a well-balanced product that uses a handful of functional ingredients to deliver a consistent, low-sugar, high-protein yoghurt. For shoppers chasing the absolute cleanest label, Chobani's plain Greek yoghurt is the purist's choice, but this is a very strong compromise.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the sugar in this yoghurt added or natural?
- All the sugar in this tub is naturally occurring lactose from the milk base. There is no added sugar, which is unusual for a flavoured yoghurt. The 2.4g of sugar per 100g is significantly lower than the 10-14g you might find in a standard flavoured yoghurt. The sweetness comes from a plant-based sweetener, stevia. We'd grab this if you want a flavoured yoghurt without the high sugar content.
- How does this compare to other Chobani yoghurts?
- This Strawberry tub is nutritionally very similar to the brand's High Protein Vanilla tub, matching it for protein at 10.6g per 100g with just 0.1g more sugar. Compared to Chobani's Natural Light Greek yoghurt, it offers more protein but has a longer ingredient list due to the flavouring, colours and sweetener. If protein is your main goal, this is one of the top options in their range.
- Does this yoghurt contain lactose?
- Yes, as a dairy product it contains natural lactose from milk. However, the ingredient list includes the enzyme lactase. Lactase is added to help break down lactose, which can make the yoghurt easier to digest for people with some degree of lactose sensitivity. It's a thoughtful addition that may broaden its appeal. If you have a diagnosed lactose intolerance, you should consult your health professional.
- Does it have live cultures?
- Yes, the ingredient list confirms the presence of live cultures from milk. These are the active microorganisms that are essential for turning milk into yoghurt and are a standard feature of authentic Greek-style products. The specific strains of bacteria are not named on the pack, but their presence is guaranteed. For shoppers seeking the benefits of traditional yoghurt, this tub fits the bill.
- Where can I buy this Chobani yoghurt tub?
- This 900g tub is catalogued at Woolworths supermarkets in Australia. You will typically find it in the chilled dairy aisle alongside other yoghurts. While it is listed at major supermarkets, availability can vary by store location. The brand may also sell it directly from their own website, which is worth checking for other purchase options. We'd suggest looking for it during your regular grocery shop.
