Yogurt, Fruit, Low Fat, 10 Grams Protein Per 8 Ounce: How Many Grams in a Cup?
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.

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.
