How can your Dannon Oikos Greek yogurt be so much higher in protein than your regular
yogurt?
Dannon Oikos Greek yogurt—with 11 to 15 g of protein per 5.3-oz serving and
22 g per 32-oz serving—is an excellent source of protein, while regular yogurt
contains about 5 g of protein per 5.3 oz. Our straining process leaves more of the
milk solids, which results in a denser product with a higher protein level than
that of regular yogurt.
