Benefits
- ✓Double the protein of regular yogurt (9g/100g) due to the straining process that removes whey
- ✓Live probiotics (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium) that improve digestive health and immunity
- ✓Versatile - works perfectly sweet (with fruit, honey) or savory (with garlic, cucumber, mint)
- ✓Creamy, satisfying texture that replaces sour cream, mayonnaise, or cream in healthy recipes
- ✓Rich in iodine and calcium - minerals essential for thyroid function and bone density
Considerations
- !Full-fat version (10% fat) is more caloric - choose 2% for an optimal protein ratio

FitAzi Tip
FitAzi uses 2% fat Greek yogurt as a base for protein smoothies and toppings. Replace sour cream in recipes with Greek yogurt to reduce saturated fats and increase protein content. A bowl of 200g Greek yogurt, mixed berries, and 30g granola provides approximately 25g of protein for a balanced breakfast.
