8.6g protein per serve · 88 cal · 6.8g sugar · 70mg sodium · 130g serve.
Overview
Finding a flavoured yoghurt pouch without a payload of added sugar can be a real mission, but this Mango offering from five:am nails the brief. It uses the natural sweetness from organic milk and mango puree, keeping the sugar per 100g to a tidy 5.2g - well below the benchmark for flavoured yoghurts. The convenient pouch format makes it a no-brainer for lunchboxes or a desk-drawer snack when you need something more substantial than fruit alone. Nutritionally, it holds its own in the crowded chiller aisle. This yoghurt lands just shy of the category average for protein, but it also comes in a little lower on sugar than the typical yoghurt we see, which is a trade-off we'd take. The ingredient list is refreshingly straightforward for a mainstream product, leaning on its organic certification to build trust rather than a long list of functional claims. Compared with the brand's Strawberry Organic Yoghurt, it delivers the exact same protein hit but carries an extra 0.7g of sugar per 100g from the mango puree. It's a minor difference that won't be a dealbreaker for most, but it shows the small variations that exist even within a single, no-added-sugar range. Ultimately, this pouch serves a clear purpose: it's for the shopper who wants the convenience and flavour of a portable yoghurt without the sugar spike or artificial sweeteners common in the category. It's a well-balanced, trustworthy option for adults and kids alike.
Protein Score: 9.2/10
Organic skim milk and milk solids provide the protein foundation for this yoghurt pouch. This dairy base delivers 6.6g of protein per 100g, which is solid for a flavoured product and helps it earn an 8/10 score. That protein density is well above standard plain yoghurts and sits firmly in Greek-style territory. The 8.6g of protein packed into the 130g serve makes for a genuinely satisfying snack. It provides a useful contribution to daily protein targets, especially given it sidesteps the high sugar content that often accompanies fruit-flavoured yoghurts. Protein-per-calorie is also strong, meaning you get good nutritional return for the energy intake. While it doesn't reach the levels of dedicated high-protein yoghurts or skyr, it's not trying to. This pouch offers a significant step up from most conventional snack yoghurts. It's a smart pick for a breakfast on the run or a pre-portioned afternoon snack that will actually keep you full.
Clean Score: 9.1/10
Just one additive, a vegetable-based stabiliser (Xanthan Gum), is the only thing separating this from a perfect score. This minimal approach to processing, alongside its organic certification and lack of added sugars or artificial sweeteners, results in a 9.1/10 Clean Score. It's a great example of a mainstream product keeping the ingredient list tight. The xanthan gum is included to ensure the yoghurt maintains a consistent, smooth texture without separating in the pouch. This is a common and necessary trade-off for the convenience of a portable format. With 12 ingredients in total, it sits right on the average for the yoghurt category, which is impressive given this includes the organic mango puree, cultures, and lactase enzyme. Beyond the numbers, the absence of artificial colours or preservatives is a key feature. The use of lactase enzyme also makes it a thoughtful choice for those with some sensitivity to lactose. For shoppers prioritising organic ingredients and a short, understandable list, this pouch is one of the better options you'll find in the supermarket chiller.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the sugar in this yoghurt added or natural?
- All the sugar is naturally occurring. This yoghurt contains 6.8g of sugar per 130g pouch, all of which comes from the organic milk (lactose) and mango puree. Unlike many flavoured yoghurts, five:am adds no cane sugar, syrups, or artificial sweeteners to this product, making it a stronger choice for anyone monitoring their added sugar intake. We'd choose it for a breakfast or snack where you want flavour without the extra sugar hit.
- How does this compare to plain Greek yoghurt for protein?
- It compares very well. This pouch delivers 6.6g of protein per 100g, which sits comfortably within the typical 6-10g range for plain Greek yoghurts. While some specialised high-protein Greek yoghurts or skyrs will offer more, this product provides a similar protein density to standard Greek yoghurt but with the convenience of a single-serve, flavoured format. It's a solid option if you want the protein of Greek yoghurt without the tangy, plain taste.
- Does this yoghurt contain lactose?
- This yoghurt is made from organic milk but has an enzyme added to make it easier to digest. The ingredient list includes lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose, the natural sugar in milk. While not technically 'lactose-free' in the strictest sense, this addition means it's formulated to be gentler on the stomach for people with lactose sensitivity. We think it's a thoughtful touch for a mainstream dairy product.
- Where can I buy the five:am Mango yoghurt pouch?
- This yoghurt pouch is widely available in major Australian supermarkets. It is catalogued at both Coles and Woolworths in the chilled dairy aisle. Availability can vary by individual store location, so it's always a good idea to check the retailer's website for local stock levels. The brand may also offer direct purchasing options on their own website.
- What makes this an 'organic' yoghurt?
- The 'organic' label refers to the sourcing of its ingredients, which are grown and produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. This five:am yoghurt uses organic skim milk, organic cream, and organic mango puree as its base. The brand, founded in Australia in 2011, is now owned by Barambah Organics and focuses on organic dairy products made in Queensland. For shoppers prioritising organic production methods, this certification is a key feature.
