Overview
This isn't your standard breakfast yoghurt. YoPRO's Perform range is engineered for a specific job: delivering a hefty protein dose in a format that feels more like a dessert than a dairy staple. The strawberry flavour lands as a thick, smooth tub that eats more like a mousse, a result of the added milk proteins and thickener. Compared to the typical yoghurt in the chiller, this tub is in another league for protein. It packs 11.5g of protein per 100g, well above the category average of 7.4g and even clearing the high bar set by most Greek yoghurts. The sugar story is just as important; at just 3.4g per 100g, all from naturally occurring lactose, it sits well below the average for flavoured yoghurts. This tub is the spoon-ready version of the brand's Perform High Protein Strawberry Yoghurt tub, sharing the exact same protein and sugar numbers. The choice is simply about format. We see the Perform line as YoPRO's answer to the dedicated protein supplement crowd, pushing beyond their already high-protein standard range. It's a smart, functional product that knows its audience. If you're smashing a gym session and want a food-based recovery option that isn't a shaker bottle, this is built for you. If you're after a simple, tangy, all-natural Greek yoghurt, this isn't it.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
YoPRO positions its Perform range as the next step up in its high-protein dairy lineup, and this tub delivers on that promise. The 20.1g of protein per 175g serve is a significant figure, clearing the kind of dose many protein shakes offer and earning a 9.6/10. It gets there by fortifying the milk base with both milk protein and whey protein concentrate. This protein density is well above the category average, making it one of the most potent yoghurt options on the supermarket shelf. At 16.9g of protein for every 100 calories, it's also an efficient way to get your macros in without a major calorie cost, which matters for anyone tracking their intake tightly. The result is a product that squarely serves the post-workout crowd. It's a genuine food alternative to a recovery shake, offering a substantial protein hit in a single, convenient tub. It's not designed for the lunchbox or a light snack; it's a functional food for a specific moment.
Clean Score: 9.0/10
YoPRO's whole range generally manages to deliver high protein without a long or complex ingredient list, and this Perform tub follows that pattern. With 12 ingredients, it sits right on the category average, which is a good result for a product this specialised, earning a 9/10 for its clean profile. The score is moved by the presence of a thickener (rice starch) and a natural sweetener (steviol glycosides). These are necessary trade-offs to get the smooth, thick texture and palatable sweetness without resorting to added sugar or artificial additives. The colours are also from natural sources like black carrot and blackcurrant. For a mainstream supermarket product, it's a clean formulation. There are no artificial sweeteners, preservatives, or gums. This tub shows that a functional, high-performance product doesn't need to come with a long list of E-numbers, which will appeal to label-conscious shoppers in the protein aisle.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the sugar in this YoPRO Perform tub added or natural?
- All of the sugar is naturally occurring. The 3.4g of sugar per 100g comes from lactose, which is the natural sugar found in the milk and dairy ingredients used as the base. There is no added cane sugar or other syrups. The sweetness you taste comes from natural strawberry puree and a plant-based sweetener, steviol glycosides (stevia). This makes it a solid choice for anyone monitoring their added sugar intake closely.
- How does this compare to standard Greek yoghurt for protein?
- It's significantly higher in protein. This YoPRO Perform tub contains 11.5g of protein per 100g, which is above the typical benchmark for traditional Greek yoghurt (around 6-10g per 100g). It achieves this by fortifying the milk base with both milk protein concentrate and whey protein concentrate. Standard plain yoghurts are even lower, typically sitting around 4-6g of protein. We'd choose this specifically for a protein boost, not as a direct Greek yoghurt swap.
- Does this yoghurt contain live cultures?
- Yes, it contains live yoghurt cultures. The ingredient list confirms the presence of "live yoghurt cultures" which are essential for turning milk into yoghurt. The specific strains are not named on the tub, which is common for many mainstream yoghurts. While they are present, the product is primarily marketed for its high protein content rather than for its probiotic profile. Think of it as a protein product first, with the benefits of a cultured dairy base.
- Where can I buy the YoPRO Perform Strawberry tub?
- This yoghurt is widely available in major Australian supermarkets. It is catalogued in the chilled dairy aisle at both Coles and Woolworths. Availability can vary by individual store location, so it can be worth checking their online stores to see if it's in stock at your local before you head out. It may also be available directly from the brand or other retailers, but it's a common sight on the mainstream supermarket shelf.
- What makes this a 'Perform' yoghurt compared to other YoPRO tubs?
- The 'Perform' label indicates this is YoPRO's highest-protein offering. This tub has 11.5g of protein per 100g, which is a step up from the brand's standard high-protein tubs, like the Banana flavour which has 9.6g per 100g. It achieves this higher density by adding whey protein concentrate to the mix, in addition to the milk protein concentrate used in the standard range. It's designed for those needing a more substantial recovery snack after intense exercise.
