Part 4/8:
When considering convenient ways to get protein, yogurt emerges as a winner, particularly Greek-style yogurt. At Costco, you can find high-protein Greek yogurt that packs 18 grams of protein into just 3/4 of a cup. The process of straining yogurt, which characterizes Greek-style varieties, enhances protein concentration while removing some natural sugars, making it an incredibly efficient protein source.
In contrast, the regular cultured yogurt, though nutritious, offers significantly less protein at 8 grams for a similar serving size. Thus, selecting Greek yogurt not only fulfills a protein need but delivers additional health benefits, emphasizing the importance of choosing the right type of yogurt.
