YoPRO Perform High Protein M/passionfruit Yoghurt Pouch No Added Sugar: independently scored 10.0/10 on Protein Score and 8.7/10 on Clean Score by ProteinScore.
20.1g protein per serve · 120 cal · 6.3g sugar · 91mg sodium · 175g serve.
Overview
This Mango Passionfruit pouch sits right alongside YoPRO's Mixed Berries Perform variant, matching its high protein density while landing just a fraction sweeter. It's a clear signal of the brand's push into the performance end of the yoghurt aisle, moving beyond simple Greek-style density into territory usually held by ready-to-drink shakes. The sweetness comes from steviol glycosides, a natural sweetener, which keeps the total sugar to just 6.3g per pouch, all from the milk's own lactose. This is significantly lower than the typical flavoured yoghurt we see. The texture is thickened with rice starch and stabilised with gums, which is a common trade-off for keeping a pouch format smooth and consistent without adding fat. With 11.5g of protein per 100g, it's well above the category average of 7.4g, and even clears the benchmark for most Greek yoghurts. The ingredient list, at 16 items, is longer than the typical yoghurt on our list, which reflects the extra protein concentrates and stabilisers needed to hit these numbers. We see this as a purpose-built product: it's less of a breakfast staple and more of a targeted recovery tool. The pouch format cements its role as a gym-bag-friendly option. It's designed for convenience, delivering a substantial protein serve without needing a shaker or a spoon. For those prioritising protein over all else, it's one of the strongest performers in the chiller.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
YoPRO's 'Perform' range is clearly aimed at the serious athlete, and this pouch is a prime example of that strategy in action. The 20.1g of protein per serve is a massive jump from standard yoghurt, earning it a 9.5/10 and placing it far ahead of the category average. Protein per calorie is also high. That 11.5g of protein per 100g is almost double the density of typical Greek yoghurt. It gets there by fortifying the milk base with both milk protein concentrate and whey protein concentrate, turning a dairy snack into something with the muscle of a protein shake. This isn't your everyday breakfast yoghurt; it's a tool for post-workout recovery or for hitting a specific daily protein target. The convenience of the pouch means it can be consumed on the go, making it a genuine alternative to a powdered shake for many.
Clean Score: 8.7/10
Is a high-protein yoghurt like this built from a simple ingredient list? In this case, the list is longer than you might expect, which is why it scores an 8/10. With 16 ingredients, including thickeners, stabilisers, and natural sweeteners, it sits just below the category average for ingredient simplicity. The score is mainly influenced by the five additives on the list: rice starch as a thickener, locust bean gum and pectin as stabilisers, stevia as a sweetener, and paprika extract for colour. None of these are artificial, but their presence reflects a more processed product than plain strained yoghurt. These ingredients are doing a job: they create a smooth, consistent texture in a convenient pouch format and deliver sweetness without adding sugar. For shoppers who prioritise a whole-food, minimalist ingredient list, this might be a drawback. For others, it's an acceptable trade-off for the high protein and on-the-go format.

Frequently asked questions
- How does this compare to other YoPRO yoghurts?
- This Mango Passionfruit Perform pouch is one of the highest-protein options in the YoPRO lineup. It matches the protein in the Mixed Berries Perform pouch at 11.5g per 100g, and has just 0.1g more sugar. Compared to the standard YoPRO pouches, the Perform range consistently delivers more protein per serve. We think it's a noticeable step up for those focused purely on their protein intake.
- Is the sugar in this yoghurt added or natural?
- All the sugar in this yoghurt is naturally occurring from the milk, known as lactose. There is no added sugar. The sweetness you taste comes from steviol glycosides (stevia), a natural sweetener, which allows the product to remain low in sugar at just 6.3g per 175g pouch. This makes it a strong choice for those managing their added sugar intake.
- Does it have live cultures?
- Yes, the ingredient list confirms the presence of live yoghurt cultures. The specific strains are not named on the packaging, which is common for many mainstream yoghurts. While the cultures are present, the product's main purpose is delivering a high dose of protein rather than focusing on specific probiotic benefits. We'd choose it for the protein first and foremost.
- Where can I buy the YoPRO Perform pouch?
- YoPRO's Perform pouches are widely available in the chiller aisle of major Australian supermarkets. The brand is owned by Danone and made in Australia. We have this product catalogued at both Coles and Woolworths, though availability can vary by individual store. The brand may also offer direct purchasing options on their own website.
- Why does this score so highly for protein?
- This yoghurt scores highly for protein because it's exceptionally dense. At 11.5g of protein per 100g, it's far above the 4-6g found in standard yoghurt and even surpasses the 6-10g benchmark for Greek yoghurt. This is achieved by fortifying the milk base with milk and whey protein concentrates. In our view, it's one of the most protein-rich yoghurts in the supermarket chiller.
