How many calories in a cup of vanilla greek yogurt?
Are you the kind of person who wonders how many calories are in everything you eat? Do you love vanilla greek yogurt as much as I do? If so, then this article is for you! I did some research on how many calories are in a cup of vanilla greek yogurt and here’s what I found.
The Nutritional Facts
First off, let’s start with the basics. According to the USDA, one cup (245g) of plain low-fat greek yogurt contains:
- 143 calories
- 5 grams of fat
- 8 grams of carbohydrates
- 18 grams of protein
These numbers may vary slightly depending on the brand and type (low-fat vs full-fat). But overall, it’s safe to say that greek yogurt is a pretty healthy snack option, especially if you’re trying to get more protein in your diet.
But what about when we add Vanilla into the mix? Let’s take a look!
Flavored Yogurt
Unfortunately, most flavored yogurts have added sugars which results in higher calorie counts. For example:
Vanilla Yogurt Compared To Plain Yogurt
Greek Yogurt Flavor | Calories per Serving |
---|---|
Plain | 140 |
Honey | 150 |
Blueberry | 159 |
Mango | 158 |
As we can see from these numbers above, vanilla flavoured will be somewhere around Mango and blueberries making its way up by an average count. So it seems like adding artificial flavors does increase those calorie counts after all – who would’ve guessed?
Low-Fat VS Full-Fat
Most yogurts comes with different milk types:
- Skim Milk
- low-fat milk
- Whole milk
Vanilla tends to go quite well consumed under any type of milk infused greek yogurt so let’s see what the calorie difference between low-fat and full-fat vanilla Greek Yogurts are.
Calorie Comparisons Between Full-Fat and Low-Fat
Fat Content | Calories per Serving |
---|---|
Full-Fat | 105 |
Low-Fat | Do no go over 90ies |
It’s quite clear that going for a lower fat option doesn’t mean compromising on taste, especially with some flavoured options available. A serving size for a cup of Vanilla Greek Yogurt is around 170grams which means there might be minimal fluctuations in calories corresponding to the type of milk.
Conclusion
To sum it up – how many calories in a cup of vanilla Greek yogurt? It depends on mainly on two factors:
- Brand Variants
- Milk Types
Typically coming down to around an average amount we would say about 160-180(give or take) depending aroma flavourings added during manufacturing.
Overall though, believe me when I tell you that including greek yoghurt into your daily meals is highly beneficial as it lets you enjoy something sweet whilst remaining healthy- read ya’ll soon!
