Overview
Finding a high-protein, low-sugar flavoured yoghurt in a mainstream supermarket can feel like a fool's errand, but Yoguri consistently delivers. This Salted Caramel tub, found in the chiller at Aldi, is a case in point. It pushes protein density into Greek-yoghurt territory while keeping the sugar profile of a plain, unsweetened tub. Looking at the ingredient list, the story holds up. The base is simple skim milk, thickened with a little rice starch. The flavour and sweetness come from natural flavouring, a pinch of salt, and stevia (sweetener 960) rather than cane sugar. This is how it achieves a sweet flavour profile with just 5.1g of sugar per tub, all of which is naturally occurring lactose from the milk. It also contains the live yoghurt cultures Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Compared to the average yoghurt we track, this tub packs in more protein and less than half the sugar. It's a significant step up from the standard flavoured yoghurts that often contain 10-14g of sugar per 100g. We see this as a smart trade-off, accepting a natural sweetener to get the protein and flavour hit without the sugar load. Stacked against others in the range, it's a consistent performer. The Yoguri Protein yoghurt Vanilla, for example, matches this product on protein at 9.5g per 100g and has the same 3.2g of sugar. This tells us the brand has a clear, repeatable formula for delivering high-protein, no-added-sugar options across its flavour lineup.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
Is this actually a high-protein yoghurt? Yes, decisively. At 9.5g of protein per 100g, it sits at the top end of the benchmark for Greek-style yoghurt, and the 15.2g in this single-serve tub is a proper protein hit. That density earns it a 9.4/10, clearing the category average with ease. The protein-per-calorie metric is also one of the strongest in the chiller, delivering 16.1g of protein for every 100 calories consumed. This makes it an efficient choice for anyone tracking their macros, offering high satiety for a low calorie cost. You're getting almost double the protein of a standard plain yoghurt. For a convenient, single-serve tub, that 15.2g serve is significant. It's the kind of protein dose you might otherwise need a small protein shake or a couple of eggs to achieve, making it a genuinely useful option for a post-workout top-up or a breakfast base that will keep you full until lunch.
Clean Score: 9.2/10
What's the catch with a flavoured yoghurt this low in sugar? There isn't one, really. With just 11 ingredients, it lands right on the category average, and its short list of additives helps it earn a 9.3/10 for the Clean Score. It's a great example of a product using modern ingredients smartly. The base is skim milk, and the sweetness comes from a natural sweetener, stevia (960), not an artificial one. This avoids the need for added cane sugar, which is the main reason flavoured yoghurts often have long, complex ingredient lists. This tub contains no artificial colours, preservatives, or emulsifiers. Ultimately, this product represents a clean trade-off. You get the convenience and flavour of a salted caramel yoghurt, without the added sugar or long list of synthetic additives that often come with it. For shoppers wanting a clean, simple ingredient list on a high-protein product, this tub delivers.

Frequently asked questions
- Does Yoguri Protein yoghurt have live cultures?
- Yes, it contains two strains of live yoghurt cultures. The ingredient list specifies both Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. These are standard, beneficial cultures commonly used to ferment milk into yoghurt. While we don't make health claims, the presence of named live cultures is a good sign of a quality, traditionally-fermented yoghurt base. We think it adds to the product's appeal as a minimally processed option.
- Is the sugar in this yoghurt added or natural?
- All of the sugar in this yoghurt is naturally occurring. The 3.2g of sugar per 100g comes from lactose, which is the natural sugar found in the skim milk base. The product contains no added cane sugar, using a natural sweetener (stevia) to achieve its salted caramel flavour. This is a key feature, as many flavoured yoghurts have high amounts of added sugar. We'd consider this a great low-sugar choice.
- How does the Salted Caramel compare to the Vanilla flavour?
- The nutritional profiles are virtually identical. The Yoguri Protein yoghurt Vanilla also has 9.5g of protein and 3.2g of sugar per 100g, matching the Salted Caramel version exactly on its core macros. Both are no-added-sugar products that use a natural sweetener. This consistency tells us the brand has a reliable formula across its range. Your choice between them will likely come down to flavour preference alone.
- Where can I buy Yoguri Protein yoghurt?
- This yoghurt is part of the Aldi-stocked Yoguri range. We have it catalogued as being available in Aldi supermarkets in Australia. It may also be available for purchase directly from the brand's website, but we haven't verified that. For a physical store, Aldi is the place you are most likely to find it in the chiller aisle. We'd suggest checking there first.
- Is this a good yoghurt for building muscle?
- It's a very effective source of protein for its category. A single 160g tub provides 15.2 grams of dairy protein, which is a significant contribution towards daily protein goals for muscle repair and growth. Its protein density of 9.5g per 100g is comparable to high-end Greek yoghurts. While not a replacement for a dedicated supplement regime, it's an excellent, convenient and food-based option for a post-workout snack or a protein-rich breakfast.
