The Take
Greek Yogurt is healthy when you buy plain. Straining concentrates the protein and keeps the ingredient list to milk plus live cultures.
People buy it to signal discipline and gut health. Flavored tubs turn it into sugar delivery for the same crowd chasing macros without reading labels.
The Verdict
Ancestors nod at the simple strained milk while modern dietitians seethe over the full-fat option. The real play is skipping every flavored or low-fat marketing trap.
Pair with Fage Total 5% — full fat, zero added nonsense, creamier payoff.
