Overview
This tub sits at the higher-performance end of the YoPRO lineup, designed for a bigger protein target than a standard breakfast yoghurt. With 11.5g of protein per 100g, it comfortably clears the category average of 7.4g, while its 3.6g of sugar sits well below the typical 5.7g. It's a purpose-built product, and the numbers show it. Compared with the brand's own Perform High Protein Mixed Berries Yoghurt, this Mango Passionfruit version matches it on protein and has just 0.1g more sugar per 100g, making them virtually identical on the numbers. The protein density comes from adding milk protein and whey protein concentrates to the milk base, a step up from simply straining the yoghurt. While mango and passionfruit are in the name, they make up a combined 2% of the tub, with natural flavours doing most of the heavy lifting on taste. We see this as a pure convenience play for anyone who prioritises protein and wants to avoid mixing a shake. The use of rice starch, locust bean gum and pectin as thickeners and stabilisers ensures a consistent, smooth texture without the fat. It's a trade-off for a clean label, but one that delivers a reliable, high-protein snack.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
This tub is built for the shopper who reads the protein column first and foremost. The 20.1g of protein packed into a single 175g serve is a standout figure in the chiller aisle, putting it in genuine post-workout territory and earning a 9.5/10. That protein density is well above the category average. It delivers more than double the protein of a standard Greek yoghurt, thanks to the addition of both milk protein concentrate and whey protein concentrate. This isn't just a strained yoghurt; it's actively fortified to hit a higher number. For someone needing a quick protein hit after the gym without the fuss of a shaker, this is one of the most effective options available. It lands far ahead of the typical product in this category, making it a reliable choice for a recovery snack.
Clean Score: 8.7/10
A couple of stabilisers and a thickener are the trade-off for a smooth, high-protein yoghurt that doesn't separate on the shelf. With 16 ingredients, including rice starch, locust bean gum, and pectin, this tub lands an 8/10 for its clean profile, a score that reflects its moderately processed nature. The ingredient list is longer than many simple yoghurts, which pulls the score down slightly. However, it's worth noting what isn't on the list: no artificial sweeteners, no preservatives, and no artificial colours. The sweetness comes from steviol glycosides (stevia) and the gentle colour from paprika extract, choices that will suit many ingredient-conscious shoppers. Ultimately, this tub trails the category average on our Clean Score, but not by a significant margin. It occupies a middle ground, using processing to achieve its protein and low-sugar stats while still avoiding the artificial additives found elsewhere in the supermarket.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the sugar in this yoghurt added or natural?
- All the sugar in this yoghurt is naturally occurring from the milk and small amount of fruit. There is no added sugar. The 6.3g of sugar per tub comes from lactose in the dairy ingredients and a tiny fraction from the mango and passionfruit puree. To keep it low in sugar while delivering a sweet, fruity flavour, the recipe uses a natural sweetener, steviol glycosides (stevia). We'd consider this a great choice for anyone tracking their added sugar intake closely.
- How does this compare to plain Greek yoghurt for protein?
- It contains significantly more protein. This YoPRO Perform tub has 11.5g of protein per 100g, whereas traditional Greek yoghurt typically contains between 6-10g per 100g. This is because it's not just a strained yoghurt; it's fortified with added milk protein concentrate and whey protein concentrate to boost the final number. For a single 175g serve, you get over 20g of protein, making it a much denser option for post-workout recovery.
- Does YoPRO Perform yoghurt have live cultures?
- Yes, the ingredient list confirms it contains 'live yoghurt cultures'. These are the active bacteria that turn milk into yoghurt. However, the specific strains, such as L. acidophilus or B. lactis, are not named on the packaging, which is common for many supermarket yoghurts. If you are seeking specific probiotic strains for a therapeutic purpose, you would need to look for a product that names them on the label. For general eating, this tub fits the bill as a cultured dairy product.
- Where can I buy this YoPRO yoghurt?
- YoPRO Perform High Protein Yoghurt is widely available in major Australian supermarkets. It is catalogued at both Coles and Woolworths, so you can typically find it in the chilled dairy or yoghurt aisle of those stores. Availability can vary by individual store location and stock levels, so it may also be available direct from the brand or other retailers. We'd suggest checking the chiller section next time you're at a major supermarket.
- Who owns the YoPRO brand?
- YoPRO is owned by the global food company Danone. According to the brand, the products are made in Australia. While it's part of a large international portfolio, the brand has a strong presence in the Australian market and formulates its products, like this high-protein yoghurt, for local tastes and nutritional expectations. For more detailed information on the company's history or other brands, the Danone corporate website is the best source.
