Greek Yogurt Parfait with Avocado

Greek yogurt is yogurt that is strained of whey, while regular yogurt is not. Interestingly, this type of yogurt in Greece is actually called “straggisto” (strained yogurt). The term “Greek yogurt” was created by the brand Chobani based in the United States.

Answer: When stored properly, the USDA says that yogurt can last 1 to 2 weeks in the refrigerator (40 ºF). In the freezer (0 ºF), it can last 1 to 2 months. Read the USDA’s guidance on storing yogurt.

Greek yogurt has a thick consistency and a slightly tangy flavor. It typically has less sugar and doesn’t contain whey (regular yogurt contains whey), so it doesn’t taste as sweet as regular yogurt.

Greek yogurt can be sweetened in many ways. The easiest way to sweeten your Greek yogurt is to stir in a little bit of honey. However, our favorite way to serve Greek yogurt is by adding some berries, honey, avocado, lime juice, and granola. Not only does this make it sweet, but the different textures and flavors combine wonderfully.
