Jalna Pot Set Yoghourt :
4.64 out of 5 based on 235 reviews.

Everyone knows there is nothing better than a big dollop of yoghourt – no matter when!

Which is why we are excited to announce the Jalna Pot Set Yoghourt Product Review –  where MoM Members are trialling and reviewing JALNA YOGHOURT at home and then telling us what they think.

What makes Jalna Pot Set Yoghourt different?

Many yoghourts are mass produced using gelatine, colours and food acids. But Jalna is different. They have been making all-natural pot set yoghourt the traditional way, since 1959.  There are no short cuts, no gums or stabilisers, no ingredients that you don’t recognise and no added cane sugar or artificial sweeteners.

Jalna sources fresh milk from the Goulburn Valley where they also own and run a Biodynamic Organic Dairy Farm. They simply blend the pure milk with friendly probiotic cultures, pour it in each pot and let nature do the rest. It takes time to produce, but the result is a delicious, thick and creamy pure yoghourt that sets itself apart from others.

In essence, every Jalna yoghurt is a little pot of purity!

100% Australian Family Made & Owned.

Jalna is a second generation Australian owned family business and is the largest pot set yoghourt producer in Australia.

They are passionate that life should be as simple and uncomplicated as possible. The way they make yoghourt is important to them because they believe that the less processed our food, the better it tastes and the better it is for everyone.

Why Choose Jalna:

✓ Pot set = no additives

✓ Pure & natural

✓ Creamy thick texture

✓ Australian Made and Owned

  • Delish

    We buy the plain Greek yoghurt and add a bit of brown sugar. The whole family loves it. Add to muesli, muffins, in cooking, or just eaten on its own. We definitely recommend it and buy it regularly in this household.

  • The coconut yoghurt is heaven!

    The Jalna Greek yoghurt in the coconut flavour is absolute heaven. I have never been a huge yoghurt eater but since trying this Jalna yoghurt I have been converted. My husband and my children have loved it for a long time but now that I am on board as well we usually go through two tubs a week. I like that is it quite often on special at the larger supermarket chains, which is always a nice saving.

    It is so natural, thick in texture and so delicious. Even my baby is under 1 year but he knows its taste very well and never said no to this. Otherwise he spits on his clothes while eating other things.

  • Jalna

    We have loved trying out the Jalna range of Pot Set Yoghourts and we have found that there is a yoghourt pot flavour to suit everyone in this dairy loving family. I have loved making the delicious recipes in the MoM’s Jalna recipe section and the family have loved eating the scrumptious food! A wonderful and creamy yoghourt in every way – hooray!

  • Perfect Passion.

    So I baked a NEVER FAIL SPONGE (family fave and one I submitted here ages ago).Children’s Sand Castle Cake. “Never Fail Sponge”
    But this time I iced it with the icing recipe I used on my Jalna Hummingbird cake, Yoghourt cream cheese frosting, Yoghourt chocolate bubble bark , instead of using the Jalna pot set yoghourt with coconut I used the PASSIONFRUIT variety (passionfruit icing is a weakness of mine) and oh my was I super impressed. The frosting was sooo creamy and fluffy and the passionfruit yoghourt gave it a irresistibly tangy but delightfully sweet blissful taste.
    Seriously Jalna is so wonderfully versatile …spoon and dip, blend and sip, or bake and create this brand truly is unique and pot set perfect.

  • Raspberry and white Chocolate muffins sold out.

    I whipped up a batch of Raspberry and white Chocolate muffins for a bake sale…they sold out in under 10 minutes. I included the recipe and ingredients so lets hope your sales for delicious JALNA increases. By the way I also had a veggie slice that took 25 minutes to sell …folks can pick the most divine items can’t they.
    Jalna really is so very versatile and this JALNA pot set yoghourt with raspberries that I used for these muffins sent them from satisfying to sensational.

  • Smooth creamy coconut paradise.

    Jalna really is the brand we adore they have so many delicious varieties that deliver more..from creamy plain to luscious fruit , greek and A2 one for me and one for you.
    Jalna pot set yoghourt with coconut is the product I am reviewing and it is renewing my love for granola. Pure the granola into a bowl add caramelised banana and pineapple and pure over the Jalna coconut yoghourt, close your eyes, open your mouth and spoon in pure paradise.
    Seriously Jalna can transport you to a paradise island without ever leaving your kitchen.

    Jalna really is an outstanding delicious tasting superior yoghourt that beats all other yoghourts on the market. Pot set and natural with no nasties . Made with delicious Goulburn Valley milk this brand is 100% Australian Family Made & Owned. The Premium VANILLA is always in our frig as it is so very versatile, can be used for cooking, dipping, dolloping, gobbling and in my face mask. Add fruit, nuts or simply on its own it’s brute.

  • Best Yogurt for Littlies

    I won’t buy any other brand of yogurt for my 21 month old son! When I moved him onto solids, I searched for a brand that had no added cane sugar, yet was sweet enough to be enjoyable. Jalna was the only brand that met my requirements. Best of all my little boy loves it and frequently has it for his dessert. His eyes light up and he squeals when he sees the pot.

    I enjoy eating Jalna yoghurt. It comes in lots of lovely flavours which all taste great. I especially enjoy strawberry and vanilla in their greek style yoghurt.

    jalna yoghurt is a staple in our home for both snacking and cooking. It is important to our family to have produce that is additive free and low in sugar and Jalna ticks both these boxes.

    Jalna Yoghurt is simply delicious, everyone in the family loves it, it is a fridge staple. All the flavours are great. The best thing about the natural or greek flavours is that they are multipurpose, you can add a dollop to soup or just chop up some fresh fruit and add Jalna as a great healthy snack for the kids.

    I have tried the natural, sweet and natural and coconut flavoured Jalna pot set yoghurt and we loved them all. It is so thick so you don’t need as much as other “runny” yoghurts. This would have to be the vwet yoghurt on the market and although more expensive than other brands….worth the cost. This yoghurt is a winner .and gets the thumbs up from our whole family

  • Versatile yoghurt

    Yoghurt can be used for so many different things – straight up or with fruit or muesli, porridge, in curries or pastas, cakes and desserts. A pot of yoghurt will never reach its used by date with this many uses. My daughter has only just started solids and yoghurt is on her “i like” menu. I am trying to avoid sugar in foods for as long as possible, so natural yoghurt is a winner here. As a busy mum we dont always have time to sit and eat a snack or lunch, a spoon of yoghurt straight from the pot is quick and simple and carries you over til you have more time (if that exists!) Jalna website is a great source of information and inspiration when it comes to new and exciting dinners that incorporate their yoghurt. Jalna pot set yoghurt is a WINNER in our house.

  • I've tried a different flavour

    So here’s my dessert tonight, more yoghurt and if I’m honest, I prefer the natural flavour I tried the other day more than this vanilla flavour, which surprised me caus I expected to like this more…. this one tasted more like traditional yoghurt than the other creamy one, however still scooped nice like ice cream and still yummy. Perhaps I just set my expectations too high with the different flavours, but my favourite flavour still is natural, but I’ve got many other flavours to try yet!

Later discovered the empty container in the bin…DH and DS devoured the pot over their cereal so I am told and just a heads up it was delicious with lashings of crushed blueberries. Thank goodness we had a pot of raspberry as well (untouched) so the muffins turned out to be raspberry and white chocolate.

How to choose the best lunch box for school

When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.

  • Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
  • Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
  • Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
  • Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
  • Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
  • The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

What to put in kids’ lunch boxes

Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:

  • Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
  • Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
  • Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
  • Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
  • Almond-meal slice with raspberries or blueberries – or both!
  • Vegetarian sausage rolls – these freeze well and make a great meat-free lunch when cold.

  • Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.

  • Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.

  • Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.

  • I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.

  • So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.

  • There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.

  • There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain

  • This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.

  • Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.

  • This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones

  • Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.

    Reply

  • These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.

  • I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.

  • My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags

  • Love our bento b.boxes. So easy to pack. I do however worry that they’re made of plastic, not metal….

  • My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.

  • Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

  • I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
