GREEK STYLE YOGURT vs GREEK YOGURT

Greek STYLE yogurt it's NOT the same as Greek yogurt!!!

Greek yogurt is made from natural ingredients  (milk and live cultures). It is very high in protein - typically 10g of protein per 100g tub!



Greek style yogurt contains one or more of the following ingredients.. cream, gelatine, gum blends, stabilizers, preservatives, non-fat milk solids and milk solids. These are what gives it the thick texture that is replicating actual Greek yoghurt. It's protein content is pretty low,usually just like a regular yogurt.
