Quick Overview
Greek yogurt is a type of yogurt that is thicker and more concentrated than regular yogurt because it is strained to remove the whey, a liquid byproduct of milk. It is high in protein, calcium, and other nutrients and minerals, and may have health benefits such as supporting digestion, blood pressure, bone health, and gut health45. It can be eaten plain or flavored with fruit, or used as a substitute for mayonnaise, sour cream, or crème fraîche in recipes.
