Overview
This isn't just another flavoured yoghurt pouch for the lunchbox; it's a properly dense, high-protein option that rivals pouches twice its size. Its protein density sits well above the 7.4g per 100g we typically see in the yoghurt aisle, making it a standout for the format. Compared with the Vanilla flavour in the same high-protein range, this Mango version has fractionally less protein and a touch more sugar, but the difference is negligible on the shelf. The core proposition remains the same: a significant protein serve in a convenient, flavoured format. The sweetness comes from mango puree and natural sweetener (stevia), not added sugar. This keeps the total sugar down to just 2.4g per 100g, all from naturally occurring lactose in the milk. The use of live cultures like S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus is a nod to traditional yoghurt making, even in this modern pouch format. Ultimately, this pouch from Farmers Union bridges the gap between convenience and serious nutrition. We see it as a smart pick for anyone needing a reliable protein hit without the fuss of a pouch and spoon, or the high sugar load of a typical flavoured yoghurt.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
Stacked against the brand's standard Greek Style Yoghurt, the protein lift here is significant, more than doubling the density. At 10.1g of protein per 100g, and 15.2g in the pouch, it earns a 9.3/10 and sits comfortably at the top of the category for protein content. That protein density is what sets it apart from standard flavoured yoghurts, which often struggle to clear 6g of protein per 100g. With 13.4g of protein for every 100 calories, it's an efficient way to get your macros in without a huge energy cost, making it a satisfying and filling snack. This makes it a strong contender for a post-workout refuel or a satiating breakfast base. It delivers a meaningful protein serve that you'd otherwise need a dedicated protein bar or shake to achieve, but in a whole-food format that feels more substantial.
Clean Score: 8.7/10
The main additives here are a thickener (1442) to maintain texture and a natural colour (160a), which is common for a fruit-flavoured yoghurt. With only ten ingredients and no artificial sweeteners, it scores a 9.2/10, landing well above the category average for ingredient simplicity. The ingredient list is refreshingly short for a convenience product. The thickener ensures the yoghurt doesn't become watery, a common issue in pouches, while the natural sweetener (steviol glycosides) provides sweetness without adding sugar. It's a clean profile for a product that needs to be shelf-stable and consistent. For shoppers who read labels but still need the grab-and-go format, this pouch finds a good balance. It avoids the gums, preservatives, and artificial additives that often appear in flavoured yoghurts, making it a trustworthy choice in the convenience aisle.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the sugar in this yoghurt added or natural?
- All the sugar in this yoghurt is naturally occurring from the milk and fruit puree. There is no added sugar, which is why the total sugar content is a low 2.4g per 100g. The sweetness you taste comes from the mango puree and a natural sweetener, steviol glycosides (stevia). This makes it a great option if you're watching your added sugar intake but still want a flavoured yoghurt. We'd pick it over yoghurts with added cane sugar.
- Does this yoghurt have live cultures?
- Yes, it contains the live yoghurt cultures S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus. These are traditional cultures used to ferment milk into yoghurt. While the specific health benefits of strains can vary, their presence indicates a classic fermentation process was used to create the yoghurt base. If you're looking for classic yoghurt cultures in a high-protein format, this pouch is a solid choice.
- How does this compare to Farmers Union's regular Greek yoghurt?
- This high-protein pouch has more than double the protein of the brand's standard Greek-style yoghurts. This version packs 10.1g of protein per 100g, whereas the regular pouches sit around 4.2g to 4.5g. You're getting a much denser product designed specifically for a higher protein target. In our view, it's a completely different product for a different purpose, focused on macros rather than just a simple snack.
- Where can I buy this high-protein yoghurt pouch?
- This Farmers Union high-protein yoghurt is typically stocked in the chilled dairy aisle at major Australian supermarkets, including Coles and Woolworths. Availability can vary by store location, so it's always a good idea to check the retailer's website or app for local stock levels. It's a widely available product in the convenience yoghurt section, so you should find it fairly easily.
- What does this yoghurt taste like?
- It has the thick, creamy texture and tangy base characteristic of a Greek-style yoghurt. The mango flavour is present but not overly sweet, as it uses natural sweeteners instead of added sugar. The overall taste is a balance of fruitiness and the classic yoghurt tang. We think it's a good dessert replacement if you're after something thick and satisfying without the high sugar content of ice cream or mousse.
