Yogurt, Fruit, Low Fat, 10 Grams Protein Per 8 Ounce

Fruit low-fat yogurt with 10 grams of protein per 8-ounce serving is a protein-enriched cultured dairy product with a density of 1.036 g/ml. One US cup weighs approximately 245 g and one tablespoon about 15.3 g. The fruit puree and added milk protein concentrate give it a thicker body than standard fruit yogurt while keeping fat content low. It is commonly used in post-workout smoothies, layered breakfast parfaits, and as a protein-boosting ingredient in frozen yogurt popsicles. Weighing rather than scooping ensures the protein contribution to a recipe is accurately tracked.

Dairy specifics

Dairy products (milk, cream, yogurt, cheese) have different fat and water percentages. Volume hides these differences; weight keeps sauces, batters, and doughs consistent.

• Fat content shifts density; pick the correct milk/cream/fat level if variants exist.
• For cheese, shredded vs grated vs cubed changes volume—prefer grams.

FAQ

How does the extra protein in this yogurt affect its density compared to regular fruit yogurt?

The additional milk protein concentrate (casein and whey) is denser than water, but the total amount added per serving is small enough that the density remains at 1.036 g/ml, the same as standard fruit yogurt. The 10 g protein per 8-ounce serving comes from roughly 2-3 g of additional protein solids, insufficient to measurably shift density.

Can I freeze this yogurt for popsicles and expect the same weight per cup after thawing?

Yes. Freezing and thawing do not change the mass of the yogurt. A cup will still weigh approximately 245 g after thawing, though the texture may become grainier due to ice crystal formation breaking the protein matrix. Stir well after thawing to restore smoothness before measuring.

How much protein does one cup of this fruit low-fat yogurt provide?

At 10 g protein per 8-ounce (227 g) serving, one US cup (245 g at 1.036 g/ml) provides approximately 10.8 g of protein. This makes it a meaningful protein source when blended into smoothies or used as a parfait base, compared to standard fruit yogurt which typically has 5-7 g per serving.
