Plain Greek yogurt is a creamy, protein-rich dairy product with origins in Greece and Mediterranean cuisine. Made by straining regular yogurt to remove excess whey, it has a thick, velvety texture and tangy flavor. This process concentrates nutrients, making Greek yogurt a standout choice for its high protein content, which supports muscle health and keeps you feeling full longer. It also provides probiotics, which are beneficial for gut health, along with calcium and vitamin B12. Typically lower in sugar compared to flavored varieties, it’s a versatile and nutritious option for meals and snacks. Many brands offer nonfat, low-fat, or whole-milk versions, allowing flexibility based on dietary needs. While plain Greek yogurt is generally healthy, consumption should be mindful of its sodium content and portion sizes, as well as added sugars if choosing pre-flavored options. It's delicious on its own or paired with fruits, granola, or savory dishes.
