Yoghurt that I recently purchased was Five Am Organic Yoghurt Vanilla Bean 700g to try it and it's not as creamy as the other brands that i have tried and has a thin runny texture. Disappointing for what I thought would be a 'premium' product – it's bland and no taste at all I thought I'd give it a try. Somehow this yoghurt manages to have less… Read more

I have just read half a dozen or so reviews of this yoghurt and I'm so surprised at the negativity. I have only bought two tubs of vanilla so far and have found it absolutely delicious. In fact, I have tried many, many yoghurts and have struggled to find a good one. This one isn't too sugary, it's smooth and creamy with the added bonus of being… Read more
organic from grass fed cows so has plenty of valuable vitamin K2. Yes, the container is a little less robust than plastic but honestly, you need to learn to live with that - it will be a growing trend. I honestly can't recommend this yoghurt more highly. Thank you Five am - well done to you.
Just opened a 700g tub of vanillla bean yogurt. It is runny slop. Nothing like the thick creamy consistency it used to be. Hoping this is just a one-off glitch and not a permanent change or I will be changing brands. Show details

Packaging as Flimsy as a reused takeaway coffee cup Tastes great . I put this in the fridge as soon as I arrived home. A few hours later grabbed from the fridge the tub crushed in my hand and hit the side of fridge and made a mess.paper based tub but seriously impractical. I dotn like plastic buy I see why it's used now. Show details
Disappointing for what I thought would be a 'premium' product – So bland. I thought I'd give it (Blueberry flavour) a try, drawn in by the lack of sugar claims. Somehow this yoghurt manages to have less flavour than my usual Greek style (non flavoured) product. It does have some sort of 'after taste' after eating a few spoonfuls but I won't be bothering to try the other flavours. Show details
Unusable product design – Recently purchased a 1kg tub of five:am natural yoghurt. It has been re-packaged with a stronger cap. Nice little handle to carry it. However we could not get the lid off. Very stupid design - the lid grips the contained very tightly. It did have a word OPEN where one was meant to just simply lift and hey presto all would be revealed. But it… Read more
did not work. In the end I had to use a large screw driver and plyers to get the lid off. In so doing spilt and sprayed the yoghurt. We wont buy or recommend this yoghurt until we see a safe and easy to use lid structure. My only comment was that we might have purchased one which had a malfunction with its lid.

I've just bought five am organic mango flavoured yoghurt. I'll say it's worst yoghurt I ever had. Powdery texture to no flavour, no mango flavour. I'm struggling to eat, so I had add strawberries, even then I thought ruined the flavour of the strawberry. Powdery after taste. Show details
Follow-up · I've contacted their customer service representative, I must say she was very blaze about it, bordering rude. I don't think it went any further. I wouldn't give this product to babies or toddlers, it may put them off yoghurt for life. Shame, I'm sure the product used to be nice. I wouldn't be buying anymore. I'm all for good experience, so don't ruin your yoghurt break with this product
Positive reviews
Fantastic, but will test new recipe tomorrow – Love it, never had that many issues with the lid, use a hand towel, don’t use your bare hands and a folded towel too, not just the thinnest section. They’ve gone and switched it now to Greek Style, opening it, it has a slightly more sour smell and now has added cream. I will be trying it tomorrow, hopefully they haven’t ruined it. I’m not… Read more · 2
great with sour yogurts cause of histamine and MCAS, they tend to floor me with the reactions, so I’ll see tomorrow how I handle it and hope I can still eat it.
New tubs are made from paper and so the lid issues are gone.
The best yogurt so far – I didn’t like yogurt until last year I discovered vanilla bean yogurt. It’s the best. I need it as much as I need my daily coffee cups. I recommended to everyone.
My favourite brand ! – I love all the five:am yoghurts. Simply delicious. I always have a 170g in mornings with a few blueberries, along side my Carmen's low sugar Almond & coconut cereal think its called. I've tried alot of diffrent brands but for my taste, think five:am is the best. Show details
Negative reviews
What has happened Five AM? I recently purchased your vanilla yoghurt and it's not as creamy and has a runny texture. And your blueberry yoghurt is greek yoghurt with a little hint of blueberry. Please take it back to the original recipe. Don't know if I'll keep purchasing your product. Show details

The fairly recent new paper tub has made it difficult to handle and I have dropped the container several times and I am tired of this. Unless there is an improvement in this regard I refuse to purchase this brand of yoghurts!!
Changed their recipe – Why would they change the recipe to Greek yogurt, the sour taste makes me want to vomit. It’s ruined all their flavours. Very disappointed Show details

Dissatisfied customer – I agree with the large number of people who have indicated their frustration regarding difficulties getting the yoghurt open. I am disappointed that these reviews have not been taken on board. It was my understanding that reviews are used to refine the development of products. I wait in hope. Show details
That unopenable lid! – I was really looking forward to the yoghurt but after 15 mins trying - and failing - to get the lid off, and cutting my hand on bits of serrated plastic, I've still not tried the yoghurt and have given up. Show details
The lid – I don’t like the new lid can’t get it of I have to use a Knife and pinchers even then it takes my husband And me ages .I love the yogurt have been eating it for years but the lid almost makes me think twice . Show details
Lid is almost impossible to remove – Dumb packaging with the lid! The lid does not come off unless you use power tools or cut your fingers trying to pry the lid open. I mean seriously, people with degrees have been sitting around this company discussing how to make and market this product, and they can't even get a usable lid. The stupidity of people knows no limits. Show details
Now you add sugar to Natural yogurt it is no longer the best ! – I have been using 5 am natural yogurt some time and it is the best natural yogurt I have tasted . However I am no longer buying it as you now Add SUGAR and call it sweet and creamy Very disappointed from a long time customer Show details
The yoghurt is OK. The packaging is a problem – A good yoghurt unhelpfully packaged. The large plastic containers would be useful if the labelling came off so they could be put to new purposes -- producing less recycling and rubbish.
Incorrect Carbohydrate Content on Label – Really tasty, great yoghurt but 5am blueberry yogurt has the incorrect carbohydrates written on the label at Coles. I have type 1 diabetes and I’m pregnant. I tried 5am because it had a higher fat content which helps stabilise my blood sugars. Unfortunately carbohydrate counting doesn’t work at all for this brand of yoghurt. Each time I eat it my… Read more
blood sugar skyrockets when I calculate the 9.2 for 100g. I’ve tried a few different times and blood sugar skyrockets constantly. A real shame they have put an incorrect carbohydrate quantity on the label. Quite dangerous for type 1 diabetics trying to control their levels.

5AM Yoghurt - Blueberry, Strawberry, Salted Caramel, Plain – Have tried the Blueberry, Plain, Salted Caramel, and Strawberry, and they were all fantastic! So happy with this Yoghurt, and the nutritional table was the best for low fat, low carb, and low calorie .... now, if the protein lvl can be increased it would be THE premier yoghurt and definitely rival Chobani in the nutritional index, which to me was… Read more
not very palatable! 5AM is already there with taste and texture, just needs the protein pop! I have mine with assorted berries ie: Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries, and Blackberries. Purchased from Woolworths and Coles in QLD
Delicious Low Sugar Mango Yogurt – Sensational yogurt but alas it has disappeared from the dairy shelves in both Coles and Woolworths.Disappointing as there s no other Mango yogurt that comes anywhere near to the taste and quality. Show details
Great low sugar yoghurt - but now the supermarkets will not stock it – I buy the 550 gram lower sugar, "Simply" variety of this yoghurt which a great for those of us who don't want to be cramming sugar into our bodies. But, wouldn't you know, Coles and Woolworth seem to have stopped stocking it. What the heck are you supposed to do in Australia if you want to eat healthy? Show details
Yep thumbs up from me - organic 700gm – Organic range, strawberry & blueberry and we’ve tried the mango too! Sugars are acceptable levels, tastes like yogurt and it’s my base for all smoothies, all i add is water when i make them and flavour is fabulous! Show details
Best yogurt in a market – This yogurt have a different taste than other yoghurt, no added sugar is the best taste, every day I consume 170G 2 container .it's yum Show details
Nice yoghurt but terrible, environmentally irresponsible packaging – The yoghurt itself was quite tasty - not overly sweet and the fruit flavour subtle, which is how I like it. However the unrecyclable packaging of the pouches is unnacceptable in today's society, where we are encouraged to be more conscious of waste. I understand that there are tubs available, but the fact that the pounches are even an option is enough for me not to buy it. Show details
Coffee Bean Ultimate – As a single serve daily of the coffee bean which I truly love and enjoy I would like to see it available again in the large tub . I shop at Coles and Woolworths and unable to find the large tub. It would be very much appreciated if it were to make a return in large tub and less sugar for people with diabetes . 5am is truly a very enjoyable yoghurt. Show details
Very disappointing – Just tried the passionfruit Five AM yoghurt. I usually love passionfruit yoghurt but the one is awful. Tasteless yoghurt with seeds......no passionfruit flavor. Will never buy again....very disappointing to say the least. Show details
