Bega Group has a number of new yoghurt products hitting shelves this month across its Farmers Union, Dairy Farmers Thick & Creamy and Yoplait brands.

The launches include:

• A “game-changing” protein yoghurt from Farmers Union that “delivers on taste without the chalky texture”. 
• Two new indulgent additions to the Dairy Farmers Thick & Creamy range, Choc Flakes and Murray River Salted Caramel.
• Yoplait Natural, a product with “only” four ingredients.

Farmers Union Protein Yoghurt

Farmers Union Protein Yoghurt is promoted as a “deliciously smooth”, high-protein yogurt designed to “power and fuel your body without compromising on taste”.

“We know Australians love the taste of Farmers Union yoghurt and we wanted to bring that same delicious experience to the protein space,” says Jess Hoare, Marketing Manager of Farmers Union Greek Style Yogurt at Bega Group.

“We invite yoghurt lovers to break up with the chalky taste often associated with high protein foods. Our new Protein yogurt range is smooth, creamy and full of flavour.”

Each pouch or pot contains 15g of “high-quality” dairy protein and all nine essential amino acids, while the 900g and 500g tubs offer 16g of protein per serve.

The range is also free from added sugar, low in fat and “bursting” with flavour.

Farmers Union Protein Yogurt is available at Woolworths from 1 September and Coles from 8 September. 

Dairy Farmers Thick & Creamy

Dairy Farmers Thick & Creamy has introduced two “rich, indulgent creations crafted to satisfy late-day sweet cravings and elevate the PM treat moment”.

• Dairy Farmers Thick & Creamy Choc Flakes. “Indulgence meets innovation with high-quality chocolate flakes suspended in our thickest, creamiest yoghurt. It’s a treat worth the stir.”
• Dairy Farmers Thick & Creamy Murray River Salted Caramel. “Creamy Australian yoghurt paired with a luscious caramel layer made with Australian Murray River salt.”

“We’re seeing a strong preference for staying in, prioritising comfort and carving out time for self-care,” says Tegan Froud, Senior Brand Manager of Dairy Farmers Thick & Creamy.

“It’s a shift driven by ritual and the joy of small indulgences – and it’s exactly the kind of moment we had in mind when crafting our new Thick & Creamy flavours.”

The new Dairy Farmers Thick & Creamy flavours are available in Woolworths from 1 September and Coles from 8 September.

Yoplait Natural

Yoplait Natural, made with “just” four ingredients, is described as being “smooth, creamy, not too sweet and not too tart”.

With 11g of protein per serve, no added sugar and 50% of your daily calcium needs, the product is promoted as a “fridge essential that fits every lifestyle and every taste”.

“Yoplait Natural is redefining what a plain yoghurt can be,” says Maria Guida, Assistant Brand Manager at Bega Group.

“It’s not just a side – it’s a star ingredient. Aussies are using it in more ways than ever, and we’re proud to offer a yoghurt that’s as flexible as it is flavourful.

“And the data backs up our innovation. Nearly half of [surveyed] Australians say they’d buy more branded products if they offered greater versatility – exactly what Yoplait Natural brings to the table.”

Yoplait Natural 500g is available at Coles stores nationwide from 8 September.
