About Soy greek yogurt

Soy Greek yogurt is a creamy, plant-based alternative to traditional Greek yogurt, made from soy milk derived from soybeans. Originating from Asian cuisine, soy products have been widely embraced globally for their nutritional benefits and versatility. This yogurt mirrors the thick, tangy texture of its dairy counterpart while being naturally lactose-free. Rich in plant-based protein, soy Greek yogurt typically provides around 6-10 grams of protein per 100 grams, while being low in saturated fat. It is also a source of essential nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D (if fortified), and iron, though its vitamin B12 content may be minimal unless fortified. As it lacks cholesterol and is often lower in calories than traditional Greek yogurt, it is a popular choice for health-conscious individuals seeking plant-based or lactose-free options.

Health Benefits

• High in plant-based protein, with 6-10 grams per 100 grams, supporting muscle repair and overall protein intake.
• Source of calcium (often fortified to match dairy alternatives), promoting bone health and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
• Low in saturated fat compared to dairy-based yogurts, supporting cardiovascular health.
• Contains iron, contributing to red blood cell production and reducing the risk of anemia, especially for plant-based diets.
• If fortified, it can provide vitamin D, aiding in calcium absorption and immune support.
