Overview
Many flavoured yoghurts use a heavy hand with sugar, pushing them into dessert territory. This tub from Yoguri takes a different path, keeping sugar to just the naturally occurring lactose from milk, making it a genuine breakfast option rather than a treat. Its protein density of 9.5g per 100g is well above the 7.4g average we see across yoghurts, placing it firmly in high-protein territory. Compared with the brand's Protein yoghurt Salted Caramel, it offers the exact same protein and sugar, giving shoppers a choice of flavour without a nutritional trade-off. The base is skim milk, thickened with rice starch, which achieves a thick texture without the fat. We like that live cultures are present, specifically Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, which many shoppers look for. It's a solid, data-led choice in the chiller aisle, especially for those avoiding artificial sweeteners but still wanting a flavoured option.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
Stacked against its Protein yoghurt Salted Caramel sibling, this vanilla version delivers the exact same protein punch. The 9.5g of protein per 100g sits at the high end of the Greek yoghurt benchmark, earning a 9.4/10 score that clears the category average. The 15.2g of protein in a single 160g tub is a significant contribution towards daily targets, comparable to some smaller protein shakes. This makes it a genuinely useful option for a post-workout refuel or for anchoring a breakfast with a substantial protein hit. What stands out is the protein-per-calorie metric, which is in the expected range. At just 91 calories for over 15g of protein, it's an efficient way to get your macros in without a big energy load, suiting anyone tracking their intake closely.
Clean Score: 9.2/10
The ingredient list of 11 sits exactly on the average for the yoghurt category, which is the result for a flavoured product. The use of a natural sweetener (stevia) instead of artificial options helps it land a 9.3/10 for its clean profile. The single listed additive is sweetener (960), which is stevia. This is used to provide sweetness without adding sugar or calories, a common strategy in high-protein dairy. The absence of gums, artificial colours, or preservatives is what keeps the list tight. For shoppers who want a flavoured yoghurt but are wary of long, chemical-sounding ingredient lists, this tub strikes a good balance. It uses some processing to achieve its texture and flavour, but it's a far cry from the more complex formulations elsewhere in the chiller.

Frequently asked questions
- Does this yoghurt contain live cultures?
- Yes, it contains the live yoghurt cultures Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. These are traditional cultures used to ferment milk into yoghurt. Their presence is a good sign for anyone looking for a product that follows a more classic yoghurt-making process, even with the high-protein focus. We'd grab it if you're looking for a classic yoghurt culture list.
- Is the sugar in this yoghurt natural or added?
- All of the sugar in this yoghurt is naturally occurring from the milk. The 5.1g of sugar in each tub comes from lactose, which is the natural sugar found in dairy. There is no added cane sugar, syrup, or fruit concentrate to increase the sweetness, which is why it's so much lower than typical flavoured yoghurts. We think it's a great choice for anyone actively reducing their added sugar intake.
- How does this compare to other Yoguri protein yoghurts?
- This Vanilla flavour is nutritionally almost identical to other options in the brand's lineup. For example, it has the exact same 9.5g of protein and 3.2g of sugar per 100g as the Protein yoghurt Salted Caramel flavour. This means you can choose based on your flavour preference without having to worry about a trade-off in macros. In our view, it's great to see that kind of consistency.
- Where can I buy Yoguri Protein Yoghurt?
- The Yoguri protein yoghurt range is stocked in Aldi supermarkets across Australia. You'll find it in the chilled dairy aisle alongside other yoghurts. While it's listed at Aldi, it may also be available directly from the brand's website, so it's worth checking both if you're making a special trip. We'd suggest checking the Aldi website for local store availability.
- Is this thick enough to be a dessert replacement?
- It's thicker than a standard, runny yoghurt but might not be rich enough to feel like a true dessert. Because it's made from skim milk and is very low in fat (just 0.3g per 100g), it doesn't have the creamy, decadent texture of a full-fat Greek yoghurt or a proper dessert. We'd frame it as a lighter, protein-rich sweet snack rather than a direct swap for ice cream or mousse.
