Greek yoghurt (also spelt 'yogurt' in US recipes) is strained yoghurt with a thick, creamy texture and a higher protein content than regular plain yoghurt. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 260 grams or 9.17 ounces. It's used in dips, dressings, marinades, frostings, and as a higher-protein swap in cakes and muffins.

Greek yoghurt comes in 150 g pots or 500 g tubs, while recipes often call for cups or tablespoons. Converting between the two stops you reaching for an extra pot mid-recipe or wasting half of one.
