Overview
This big 1kg tub of Sweet & Creamy yoghurt from Jalna is all about texture and simple ingredients, but it's not a protein play. The flavour is mild and sweet, and the use of whole milk and cream gives it a rich, dessert-like mouthfeel that lives up to the name on the label. It's a classic tub-set yoghurt, meaning it's cultured in the tub it's sold in, which contributes to its distinctive texture. Compared with the brand's plain Sweet & Creamy Greek Style Yoghurt, this strawberry version has the same low protein but shaves off a little sugar. The ingredient list is refreshingly short at just six items: milk, cream, sugar, milk solids, natural flavour, and a trio of named live cultures (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis & Lactobacillus casei). There are no gums, thickeners, or artificial additives, which is a big part of the brand's appeal. In the broader yoghurt category, this tub lags significantly on the protein front. It delivers just 3.5g of protein per 100g, which is less than half the category average we track and sits well below the 6-10g benchmark for a typical Greek yoghurt. The sugar content, at 8.2g per 100g, is also higher than the category average, positioning it firmly as a sweeter option. We see this as a family-sized dessert or breakfast yoghurt for households that aren't chasing high protein numbers but appreciate a short, clean ingredient list. It's a straightforward, creamy, and sweet strawberry yoghurt, and in that context, it delivers exactly what it promises.
Protein Score: 3.1/10
Protein here comes from whole milk and milk solids, which is typical for a traditional yoghurt base. However, at just 3.5g per 100g, it doesn't deliver the density you'd expect from a Greek-style product, earning a score of 2/10. This protein level is more aligned with a standard yoghurt, not the strained, high-protein products the "Greek" label often implies. Stack this against other products in the Jalna range, like the tub Set Fat Free Natural Yoghurt (5.3g protein/100g), and you can see the trade-off for the creamy, sweet profile. The protein-per-calorie metric is also very low, offering just 2.7g of protein for every 100 calories consumed. This confirms its position as an energy-dense product, not a protein-focused one. For anyone tracking macros or seeking a post-workout yoghurt, this isn't the tub to reach for. You would need to eat a very large portion to get a significant protein hit, which would also come with a substantial calorie and sugar load. It's best viewed as a general-purpose yoghurt where protein isn't the main goal.
Clean Score: 7.9/10
Jalna's reputation is built on simple, tub-set yoghurts, and this tub fits that mould perfectly. With just six ingredients and a complete absence of gums, colours, or artificial sweeteners, it achieves a Clean Score/10. The score reflects a straightforward, minimally processed approach that many shoppers look for in the dairy aisle. The ingredient list is about as simple as it gets for a flavoured yoghurt: pasteurised whole milk, cream, sugar, milk solids, natural flavour, and three named live cultures. There are no E-numbers or chemical-sounding additives to decipher, which provides a level of trust and transparency that we rate highly. While the list is clean, the product scores just below the category average. This is likely because our scoring rewards products with no added sugar, and this tub lists sugar as its third ingredient. It highlights the trade-off here: you get a simple, additive-free product, but one that is intentionally sweetened.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the sugar in this yoghurt added or natural?
- This yoghurt contains both naturally occurring and added sugars. All dairy milk has natural sugar called lactose, but this product also lists 'sugar' as the third ingredient, meaning more has been added for sweetness. The total sugar is 8.2g per 100g serve. This is higher than the category average, placing it on the sweeter end of the spectrum. We'd consider this a sweet treat rather than a low-sugar breakfast option.
- Does this yoghurt have live cultures?
- Yes, it contains three specific strains of live cultures which are listed on the tub. These are Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, and Lactobacillus casei. The yoghurt is 'tub-set', which means these cultures are added to the milk in the tub and incubated there, which is how the yoghurt sets. This traditional method is a hallmark of the Jalna brand. We think it's a great sign of a quality, traditional yoghurt.
- How does this compare to other Jalna yoghurts for protein?
- This strawberry yoghurt has 3.5g of protein per 100g, which is at the lower end of the Jalna range we've seen. For comparison, the brand's tub Set Fat Free Natural Yoghurt contains 5.3g of protein per 100g. This shows that if protein is your priority, there are denser options available from the same brand. We'd suggest checking the labels across the range to find the best fit for your goals.
- Is this thick enough to be a dessert replacement?
- Yes, we think its texture and sweetness make it a solid dessert replacement. It's made with whole milk and cream, giving it a rich, creamy consistency that's much thicker than a standard pouring yoghurt. With 8.2g of sugar per 100g, it's sweet enough to satisfy a craving without being as heavy as ice cream or cake. We'd grab this if you want a simple, creamy, and sweet finish to a meal.
- Where can I buy this Jalna yoghurt?
- Jalna is a widely distributed Australian brand, and this 1kg tub is typically stocked in the chilled dairy aisle at major supermarkets. It is catalogued at both Coles and Woolworths. As it's a popular brand, you'll likely find it at many independent grocers as well. Availability can vary by store location, so it's always worth checking your local.
