Farmers Union Greek Style High Protein Yogurt Blueberry
Farmers Union Greek Style High Protein Yogurt Blueberry: independently scored 10.0/10 on Protein Score and 8.9/10 on Clean Score by ProteinScore.
15.3g protein per serve · 113 cal · 3.4g sugar · 93mg sodium · 150g serve.
Overview
This pouch from Farmers Union manages to do what few flavoured yoghurts can: deliver a strong protein number without the associated sugar load. With just 2.3g of sugar per 100g, it sits far below the category average and closer to a plain, unflavoured Greek yoghurt. The sweetness comes from stevia, not added sugar, which is the key trade-off here. The ingredient list is built on a classic strained yoghurt base of milk solids, skim milk, and cream, which gives it that characteristic thickness and protein density. Blueberry puree provides the flavour, though at 3.2% it's more of a background note, supported by natural flavours and coloured with purple carrot concentrate. A single thickener (1442) is used to ensure a consistent texture in the convenient pouch format. Compared with the brand's Greek Style High Protein yoghurt Mango, this Blueberry version has a fraction more protein and a fraction less sugar, making them almost identical on the numbers. It comfortably outpaces the standard Farmers Union Greek yoghurt pouches, which offer less than half the protein per 100g. We see this as a purpose-built product for the protein-conscious shopper, not just a line extension. It's a smart, convenient option for anyone who reads the label on flavoured yoghurts and puts them back down. The pouch format makes it an easy grab-and-go breakfast, a kids' lunchbox snack that actually delivers on protein, or a simple way to top up after the gym without needing a shaker.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
Protein here comes from a classic Greek-style base of concentrated milk solids and skim milk, the traditional method for achieving a denser yoghurt. This dairy-first approach delivers 15.3g of protein in the 150g pouch, earning a Protein Score/10 that puts it well ahead of standard yoghurts. At 10.2g of protein per 100g, this pouch sits at the very top of the benchmark for Greek yoghurt and is roughly double what you'd find in a standard, unstrained product. The protein-per-calorie metric is also strong, offering 13.5g of protein for every 100 calories consumed, making it an efficient choice for a filling snack. This is a genuinely high-protein food, not just a yoghurt with a halo claim. The 15.3g serve is substantial enough to work as a post-workout recovery snack and is a far more satiating option for a quick breakfast than most other fruit yoghurts in the chiller aisle.
Clean Score: 8.9/10
This pouch sits on the less-processed end of the flavoured yoghurt spectrum, despite needing a few extras to make it work. With 12 ingredients in total, including a thickener and a natural sweetener, it lands a Clean Score/10, which is ahead of the typical product in this category. The additives are here for function. A thickener (1442) helps maintain the Greek-style texture in a squeezable pouch, while steviol glycosides provide sweetness without any added sugar. The use of natural colour from purple carrot concentrate instead of an artificial dye keeps the list cleaner than many rivals. The trade-off for a flavoured, low-sugar, convenient pouch is this short list of functional ingredients. For a truly minimalist product, you'd need to opt for a plain, unflavoured yoghurt pouch, but you would sacrifice the convenience and built-in flavour that this pouch is designed to deliver.

Frequently asked questions
- Does Farmers Union High Protein Yoghurt have live cultures?
- Yes, it contains live yoghurt cultures. The ingredient list specifically names two strains: S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus. These are standard, traditional cultures used to ferment milk into yoghurt. While many yoghurts contain live cultures, not all brands list the specific strains on the pack, so their inclusion here is a good sign for transparency. We think it's a solid choice if you're looking for a yoghurt with a classic culture profile.
- Is the sugar in this yoghurt added or natural?
- All of the sugar in this yoghurt is naturally occurring. The 2.3g of sugar per 100g comes from lactose, which is the natural sugar found in the milk used to make the yoghurt. There is no added cane sugar or other syrups. To achieve its sweet taste, the product uses a natural sweetener, steviol glycosides (stevia). This is why it has a much lower sugar content than most flavoured yoghurts, which can often contain 10-14g of sugar per 100g.
- How does this compare to regular Farmers Union Greek yoghurt?
- This high-protein version has more than double the protein of the standard Farmers Union Greek Style Yoghurt. This pouch contains 10.2g of protein per 100g, whereas the brand's regular Greek-style pouch has around 4.2g per 100g. The trade-off is a longer ingredient list to create the blueberry flavour and texture in a pouch format. For a pure protein focus, this pouch is the clear winner; for a simpler, plain yoghurt, the standard pouch is the cleaner choice.
- Where can I buy the Farmers Union High Protein Blueberry pouch?
- It is widely available in major Australian supermarkets. We've seen it catalogued at both Coles and Woolworths in the chilled dairy aisle alongside other yoghurts and snacks. Availability can vary by individual store location, so it's always best to check their online portals for local stock levels. The brand may also sell products directly from their own website, which is worth checking for other options.
- Is this thick enough to be a dessert replacement?
- Yes, it has the thick, creamy texture of a Greek-style yoghurt, which can feel indulgent like a dessert. However, it's not particularly sweet. With only 2.3g of natural sugar per 100g, its flavour profile is tangy and fresh rather than sugary. We think it works well as a lighter-feeling alternative to a sweet dessert if you enjoy the texture, but skip it if you're after a proper sugar hit.
