About Greek yogurt strawberry

Greek yogurt strawberry combines the creamy, protein-rich yogurt from Greece with the natural sweetness of strawberries. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, Greek yogurt stands out for its thick texture and high nutrient density due to straining, which reduces whey content. A typical serving of plain low-fat Greek yogurt (170g) with fresh strawberries (100g) provides around 140 calories, 15g of protein, 15g of carbohydrates, and 0.5g of fat. It's also a source of calcium, potassium, and gut-friendly probiotics. Strawberries add vitamin C, fiber, and natural phytonutrients like anthocyanins, enhancing both the flavor and the nutritional value of the dish.
