Half a cup of Greek yogurt is a creamy, versatile dairy product rooted in Mediterranean cuisine. Made by straining traditional yogurt, it removes excess whey, creating a thicker texture and a concentrated nutritional profile. This serving size is rich in protein, offering around 10 grams, which helps with muscle repair and keeps you feeling full longer. It’s also a good source of calcium, supporting bone health, and contains probiotics that boost digestive health. Greek yogurt is lower in carbohydrates than regular yogurt, making it appealing for low-carb diets, but its fat content varies by type—non-fat, low-fat, or full-fat. Full-fat versions may be higher in calories and saturated fat, so moderation is key for heart health. Its tangy flavor pairs well with fruits, nuts, or savory ingredients. A nutritional powerhouse, Greek yogurt is ideal for snacks, smoothies, or as a healthier substitute in recipes.
