About Half cup greek yogurt
Half a cup of Greek yogurt delivers a creamy, thick texture that originates from traditional Mediterranean cuisine. Made by straining yogurt to remove excess whey, this process results in a rich and protein-packed food. In just half a cup, you'll find about 10 grams of protein, making it an excellent option for supporting muscle health and keeping you full longer. It's also a source of calcium, which contributes to strong bones, and provides probiotics that promote digestive health. Low in carbohydrates and relatively low in sugar when unsweetened, Greek yogurt fits well within various dietary approaches, from low-carb to high-protein. However, some varieties can be high in fat, especially the full-fat versions, so checking nutritional labels can guide you based on your dietary needs. This versatile ingredient shines in both savory dishes and sweet breakfasts, proving its value beyond its nutritional benefits.
