Greek vs Greek-style

Strained Greek yoghurt has had some of the whey removed, which concentrates the protein. Some products labelled "Greek-style" are thickened instead of strained and can have about half the protein. Check the label for protein per 100 g.

Ways to use it

Use it with berries for breakfast, in place of soured cream on chilli, or mixed with garlic and herbs as a dip. It also makes porridge and overnight oats more filling.
