Greek yoghurt is generally considered the most nutritious option when it comes to yoghurts. Due to the way it is made, it is naturally higher in protein, which makes it a great addition to breakfast, leaving you feeling satisfied throughout the morning.
Low-fat, and fat-free dairy foods like Chobani® yogurt are part of a recommended healthy eating pattern that provides an excellent source of protein, a balance of good fats, and a host of naturally occurring essential vitamins and minerals.
Made with only natural ingredients, real fruit, and authentic Whole Milk Plain Greek Yogurt, Chobani® Creamy Blended Greek Yogurt is a seriously creamy treat that's packed with protein and full of real flavor.
So here is what real Greek yogurt is: the most common form and the most traditional yogurt in Greece is regular full-fat sheep's milk yogurt. It is usually made in those ceramic containers with the layer of skin on top (see photo above). This yogurt is creamy, rich and yes even more tart than the “Greek” yogurt.
Because nutritionists urge us to avoid too many sweets, going Greek is a smarter choice. “Greek has a lower amount of sugar (around 5-8 grams, compared to 12 or more grams) than the regular yogurt, while still having the high levels of vitamins and minerals,” Ewoldt says.
Regular and Greek yogurt are made from the same ingredients but differ in nutrients. While regular yogurt tends to have fewer calories and more calcium, Greek yogurt has more protein and less sugar — and a much thicker consistency.
Yogurt is known for its high protein, calcium and probiotic contents, so it's likely better than oatmeal at encouraging weight loss through a high-protein diet, staving off osteoporosis, improving bone density and treating or preventing digestive issues.
What is the difference between Greek yogurt and Greek yoghurt?
Traditional Greek yogurt is made from goat's milk. Greek style yogurt is normally made with cow's milk, but follows the same yogurt-making process as that of Greek yogurt. The best type of Greek style yogurt is unsweetened and full fat with a tangy, tart flavour.
Remarkable product and positioning – introduced high quality yogurt to the mass market. Most Greek yogurt at that time was only stocked in specialty shops or the supermarket's gourmet aisles. It was considered a niche market. Chobani thought otherwise and insisted on having their yogurt accessible to all.
Chobani yogurt is America's No. 1 yogurt brand, and it's made with only natural ingredients without artificial preservatives. Chobani uses food as a force for good in the world – putting humanity first in everything we do.
Our top pick is the Chobani Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt because it's non-GMO, has no added sugars, and packs plenty of protein. If you prefer skyr yogurt, try Siggi's Plain Greek Yogurt.
One option you can't go wrong with is plain yogurt, adds dietitian Erin Coffield, RDN. "First, whether you like low-fat, whole milk, Greek or Icelandic, any plain unflavored yogurt will contain zero added sugar," she says. Greek yogurt and Icelandic yogurts also pack more protein, which promotes fullness and satiety.
