3. Plain Greek Yogurt
Creamier and thicker than regular yogurt, plain Greek yogurt packs between 15 and 20 grams of protein per serving.3MA;, Desai NT;Shepard L;Drake. ‘Sensory Properties and Drivers of Liking for Greek Yogurts.’ Journal of Dairy Science, U.S. National Library of Medicine, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24404579/. This is because of the way it's made. Greek yogurt goes through a straining process to remove the liquid whey, resulting in a concentrated product with more protein.
There are non-fat and low-fat Greek yogurt options that are available when determining a diet plan. Opting for plain over the ones with fruit already added can save calories as well.
