What is the difference between regular yogurt & Greek Yogurt?

It's thicker and has more protein. I think it tastes better, and you can cook with it.

It is different from regular yogurt for two reasons:

1. Greek yogurt is a blend of cream and milk, so it has a much higher percentage of milk fat (butterfat)—any where from 4% to 10%, compared to regular whole milk yogurts that generally don’t exceed 3.5% milk fat.

2. Greek yogurt is also strained. Straining removes more water from the yogurt, making it more dense, firm and creamy.

A bit of draining through cheese cloth to remove liquid.

Greek yogurt is much thicker. Almost sour cream like. Good for savory dishes. Raita(to cool a spicy curry), taziki ect.

You should be able to find greek yogurt at most supermarkets.

Plain yogurt is for pussies.

Thicker, has more protein. Although I prefer the trashy Yoplait yogurt.

Greek God is tasty but it's a bit high in fat.

Chobani is my go to. I thought the Dannon Oikos kind tasted like garbage.
