Yogurt, Greek style

Definition

Greek style yogurt typically contains added thickeners or gelling agents, as well as milk protein concentrate to achieve the same high protein content as strained yogurt. Greek style yogurt is usually less expensive than Greek yogurt as there is less or no whey removed.

Health considerations

See: Yogurt, Probiotics.

Keep in mind

Thickening agents may be of concern to some individuals. Read ingredients labels to determine whether a yogurt is thickened artificially or via straining.
