Why greek yogurt is good for you

Greek yogurt is strained to concentrate its protein, giving it around twice as much as regular yogurt. That high protein keeps you full and supports muscle, while the 0% version keeps calories low.

It is a good source of calcium and vitamin B12, and the live cultures in yogurt support gut health. Plain versions avoid the added sugar found in many flavoured pots.
