Overview
YoPRO has carved out a serious space in the supermarket chiller by delivering high-protein dairy that sidesteps the sugar load of traditional flavoured yoghurts. This plain, no-added-sugar tub is the purest expression of that mission, serving as a versatile base for smoothies, tubs, or savoury cooking where you want the protein without any competing sweetness. Next to the typical yoghurt we track, this tub is a clear standout. It packs significantly more protein than the 7.4g category average, while containing much less sugar than the 5.7g average. The ingredient list is also remarkably short at just three, compared to a category average of eleven, which speaks to a less-processed approach. Compared with the brand's High Protein Yoghurt tub in Vanilla, this Plain tub delivers 0.6g more protein per 100g for a tiny 0.1g more sugar. The choice really comes down to format - a bulk tub for home use versus a convenient tub for on the go. Ultimately, this is a workhorse product. We see it as a smart meal-prep staple for anyone who uses Greek-style yoghurt as a tool for hitting their protein goals, rather than just a casual breakfast topping. Its clean profile and high protein density make it one of the most functional options in the aisle.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
This is one of the strongest protein-per-calorie performers in the entire yoghurt category. With 17g of protein in a 160g serve, it provides a substantial protein hit that you would typically associate with a dedicated protein supplement, earning it a 9.6/10. That protein density - 10.6g per 100g - places it at the very top of the Greek yoghurt benchmark, which usually sits between 6-10g. It also delivers an impressive 17.7g of protein for every 100 calories consumed, making it an efficient way to build a high-protein meal without a significant calorie cost. For anyone serious about their protein intake, this tub is more than just a yoghurt; it's a legitimate tool. It serves the person who needs a reliable, food-first protein source for post-workout recovery or to anchor a meal, without resorting to a shaker and powder.
Clean Score: 10.0/10
YoPRO's range generally keeps ingredient lists short, but this Plain tub is the benchmark for the brand. With just three ingredients and nothing artificial, it achieves a perfect 10/10 Clean Score, putting it well ahead of the category average. The ingredient list tells the whole story: skim milk, a lactase enzyme, and live yoghurt cultures. There are no gums, thickeners, stabilisers, preservatives, or sweeteners of any kind. This is about as close to traditional strained yoghurt as you can get in a mainstream supermarket product. That short list means the thick, creamy texture is achieved the old-fashioned way - by straining the whey, which concentrates the protein. The inclusion of the lactase enzyme is a thoughtful touch, making the natural dairy sugars easier to digest. It's a clean, simple product that delivers on its core promise without unnecessary processing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the sugar in YoPRO Plain yoghurt added or natural?
- The sugar is entirely from naturally occurring lactose in the milk. This YoPRO tub contains no added sugar, which is why the total per 100g is just 3.5g. The 5.6g of sugar in a single 160g serve is simply the dairy sugar that comes with a high-protein milk product. This makes it a great choice for a breakfast base rather than a dessert-style yoghurt. We'd grab it if you're watching your added sugar intake closely.
- How does YoPRO Plain compare to regular Greek yoghurt for protein?
- It sits at the very top of the protein range for Greek-style yoghurts. This tub contains 10.6g of protein per 100g, which exceeds the typical 6-10g benchmark for most Greek yoghurts and is double the protein of standard plain yoghurt. This higher concentration is achieved by straining more whey from the milk, which is what makes it so dense. If maximum protein from a yoghurt is your goal, this is one of the best options available.
- Does YoPRO Plain have live cultures?
- Yes, the ingredient list confirms the presence of live yoghurt cultures. While the specific strains like L. acidophilus or B. lactis are not named on the tub, the cultures are essential for the fermentation process that turns milk into yoghurt. Their inclusion makes it a true yoghurt product, not just a high-protein dairy dessert. For a simple, high-protein cultured dairy product, it fits the bill perfectly.
- Is this YoPRO yoghurt lactose-free?
- It is not technically lactose-free, but it is made to be easier to digest for people with lactose sensitivity. The ingredient list includes lactase, which is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, the natural sugar in milk. This means much of the lactose is already handled before you eat it. While it may not be suitable for those with a severe lactose allergy, many people with mild intolerance find products with added lactase much more comfortable to eat.
- Where can I buy the 700g tub of YoPRO Plain yoghurt?
- This YoPRO tub is widely available in the chiller aisle at major Australian supermarkets. It is currently catalogued at both Coles and Woolworths. While stock can vary by individual store location, you will typically find it alongside other bulk yoghurt tubs. It may also be available directly from the brand's website, but supermarket shelves are the most reliable place to find it. We'd check the dairy section of your local Coles or Woolies.
