YoPRO High Protein Yoghurt No Added Sugar Strawberry
YoPRO High Protein Yoghurt No Added Sugar Strawberry: independently scored 10.0/10 on Protein Score and 9.1/10 on Clean Score by ProteinScore.
15.4g protein per serve · 94 cal · 5.4g sugar · 66mg sodium · 160g serve.
Overview
Finding a flavoured yoghurt that isn't loaded with sugar can feel like a fool's errand, but this tub pulls it off. With just 3.4g of sugar per 100g - all of it naturally occurring lactose from milk - it sidesteps the 10-14g of sugar common in the flavoured yoghurt aisle. It's a breakfast product, not a dessert in disguise. Based on skim milk, it relies on thickeners like rice starch and tapioca flour to build a dense, satisfying texture without the fat of traditional Greek yoghurt. Compared with the brand's High Protein Yoghurt Vanilla tub, this Strawberry version has a fraction more protein and sugar, but the core proposition of high protein and no added sugar remains identical. We see this as a smart trade-off for anyone tracking macros closely. The protein density lands at 9.6g per 100g, putting it at the high end of the Greek yoghurt benchmark and well clear of the 7.4g category average we track. With a clean ingredient list and live cultures, it's a well-constructed product that knows its audience. That protein hit makes it a genuine force in the chiller aisle. The 700g bulk tub format makes it a practical staple for high-protein households or anyone meal-prepping breakfast tubs for the week ahead.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
The trade-off for a high-protein, low-fat yoghurt is often texture, which is addressed here with thickeners instead of fat. Still, the protein density is undeniable, earning a 9.4/10 that sits comfortably above the category average. A 15.4g protein hit in a single 160g serve is a substantial contribution to daily targets. That 9.6g of protein per 100g places this tub at the top of the typical Greek yoghurt benchmark of 6-10g, and nearly double a standard plain yoghurt. It's an effective way to get a meaningful protein serve without mixing a shake or eating a protein bar for breakfast. Stacked against other products in the YoPRO range, it holds its own, though it sits a small step behind the specialised 'Perform' tubs for pure protein density. For a post-workout snack or a high-protein breakfast base, it's one of the strongest and most accessible options in the supermarket chiller.
Clean Score: 9.1/10
No artificial sweeteners, no added sugar, and no preservatives are the key takeaways from this ingredient list. With just three additives - a natural sweetener, a natural colour, and a thickener - it earns a 9.1/10 for its clean profile. This is a refreshingly short list for a mass-market flavoured yoghurt. Its 11 ingredients land right on the category average, showing that a clean label doesn't have to mean just milk and cultures. The base is skim milk, with rice starch and tapioca flour building back the texture that fat or traditional straining would otherwise provide. Sweetness comes from steviol glycosides (stevia), a natural plant-based sweetener. The inclusion of the lactase enzyme is a thoughtful touch for those who find dairy hard to digest. While it's not a three-ingredient artisanal product, YoPRO has made considered choices to deliver flavour and function with minimal processing, landing it well ahead of the typical product we score.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the sugar in YoPRO Strawberry yoghurt natural?
- Yes, all the sugar in this yoghurt is naturally occurring lactose from milk. There is no added sugar. The 5.4g of sugar per serve comes from the skim milk base, which is significantly lower than typical flavoured yoghurts that can contain 15-20g of sugar. Sweetness is provided by steviol glycosides, a natural sweetener derived from the stevia plant. We'd say it's a great choice for anyone tracking their sugar intake.
- How does this compare to other YoPRO yoghurts?
- This Strawberry tub is very consistent with the brand's core range. Compared with YoPRO's High Protein Yoghurt Vanilla, this version has fractionally more protein and sugar, but the difference is tiny. For a bigger protein jump, the brand's 'Perform' range offers more protein per serve, typically around 17g, making it a better fit for serious post-workout recovery. For daily breakfast use, this tub is a solid performer.
- Is this yoghurt suitable if I'm sensitive to lactose?
- It may be a better choice than standard yoghurt, as it contains the enzyme lactase. Lactase is added to help break down lactose, the natural sugar in milk that can cause digestive issues for some people. While it's not technically a lactose-free product, the presence of this enzyme can make it easier to digest. If you have a diagnosed lactose intolerance, it's always best to consult a health professional.
- Is this yoghurt thick enough to be a dessert replacement?
- It's thicker than a standard, runny yoghurt, but we wouldn't class it as a dessert. The texture is built with rice starch and tapioca flour, giving it a dense, smooth consistency that's great as a breakfast base with fruit or muesli. However, it lacks the richness and creaminess of a proper dessert or a full-fat Greek yoghurt. Think of it as a satisfying, high-protein snack rather than an indulgent treat.
- Where can I buy the YoPRO 700g Strawberry tub?
- This YoPRO yoghurt tub is widely available in major Australian supermarkets. It is typically stocked in the chiller aisle at both Coles and Woolworths. Availability can vary by store location, so it can be worth checking the supermarket's online portal to see if your local store has it in stock. The brand may also sell products directly from their own website.
