Overview
This mango-flavoured tub from five:am is one of the sweeter options in the brand's lineup, landing with more sugar and slightly more protein than their Strawberry Sundae flavour. With 11.2g of sugar per 100g, it sits well above the category average we track, and a single 150g serve delivers a hefty 16.8g of sugar. That positions it firmly in dessert territory. The protein story is just as plain. At 4.4g of protein per 100g, it barely meets the benchmark for a standard, non-strained yoghurt and falls well short of the typical 7.4g/100g we see across the category. It's a gap you feel, putting it out of contention for a serious protein-led breakfast. We see this tub suiting a family kitchen where a certified organic, fruit-flavoured yoghurt is the goal, and the macros are secondary. It's not trying to be a Greek-style powerhouse or a low-sugar option, and the ingredient list reflects that focus on a familiar, sweet taste profile over nutritional density.
Protein Score: 3.8/10
This tub lands near the bottom of the pack for protein, making it more of a flavoured snack than a targeted protein source. The 4.4g of protein per 100g is low, earning it a 2.6/10 and placing it well below the category average. A 150g serve offers just 6.6g of protein, a fraction of what you'd find in a Greek or skyr alternative. Compared to a plain, standard yoghurt, it offers a similar amount of protein but with a much higher sugar load. Against the Greek-style yoghurts that dominate the high-protein space, it doesn't really compete. The protein-per-calorie metric is weak, so you're getting a lot more energy for very little of the key macro. This isn't the tub to reach for if you're trying to hit a specific protein target for breakfast or recovery. It's simply not built for that job, and you'd need to eat a huge amount to get a meaningful protein hit, which isn't practical given the sugar content.
Clean Score: 6.7/10
Is this a "clean" yoghurt? The front of the tub says organic, but the back of the tub lists 13 ingredients, which is a little higher than the typical yoghurt we see. That list includes additives like pectin as a stabiliser and paprika extract for colour, which moves the Clean Score to a 6.6/10. These are common, harmless ingredients designed to keep the yoghurt thick and consistently coloured, but their presence means it's not as simple as just milk and cultures. The use of milk solids and tapioca starch further points to a product engineered for a specific texture and shelf life, rather than a minimalist, whole-food approach. While it avoids artificial sweeteners, the use of added raw sugar, natural flavours, and acidity regulators places it on a different shelf to five:am's own simpler Greek-style tubs. It's a trade-off for a sweeter, more dessert-like flavour profile that some shoppers will be happy to make.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the sugar in this yoghurt natural or added?
- A significant portion of the sugar is added. While all dairy milk contains natural lactose sugar, this tub also includes organic raw sugar high on its ingredient list. The total sugar comes in at 11.2g per 100g, which is quite high for a yoghurt. A single 150g serve contains 16.8g of sugar. We'd frame this as a dessert or sweet snack rather than a daily breakfast staple if you're watching your sugar intake.
- How does this compare to plain Greek yoghurt for protein?
- It has significantly less protein. This tub provides 4.4g of protein per 100g, whereas a typical Greek yoghurt contains between 6g and 10g per 100g. The straining process used for Greek yoghurt is what concentrates the protein, creating a much denser product. This is a standard, unstrained yoghurt, so its protein content is much lower. If protein is your main goal, a plain Greek yoghurt is a much stronger choice.
- Where is five:am yoghurt made?
- Five:am is an Australian-owned and made brand. It was founded in 2011 and is now owned by Barambah Organics, another local producer. According to the brand, the yoghurt is made in Queensland. For more specific details about their production facilities or ingredient sourcing, the brand's own website is the best source of information. We haven't independently verified details beyond its Australian ownership and manufacturing.
- What does this mango yoghurt taste like?
- Based on its ingredients, you can expect a sweet and creamy yoghurt with a distinct mango flavour. The presence of both mango puree and mango dice suggests real fruit notes, while the added raw sugar means it will be noticeably sweet rather than tangy. It uses pectin as a stabiliser, so it should have a smooth, consistent texture that isn't overly thick like a Greek yoghurt. It's designed to be a crowd-pleasing, dessert-style yoghurt.
- Where can I buy this five:am yoghurt?
- This 700g tub of five:am Mango Organic Yoghurt is catalogued for the chiller aisle at Woolworths supermarkets across Australia. It's a mainstream product, so you should find it alongside other bulk yoghurt tubs. While it's widely stocked in major supermarkets, availability can vary by store location. The brand may also offer direct purchasing options from their own website, which is worth checking for online orders.
