Both whole Greek yogurt and nonfat Greek yogurt are processed foods.
If you assume nonfat Greek yogurt automatically contains more additives and preservatives, I have a suggestion: Check the nutrition label.
Or better yet, let me do it for you. Greek yogurt doesn’t come straight from a cow’s udder in its final form – it’s always processed. However, adding something like blueberry compote turns it into an ultra-processed food.
The difference between whole fat and nonfat Greek yogurt comes down to the milk used. Here is literally what the back of the labels say in front of me:
🥣 Whole fat Greek yogurt → Cultured pasteurized whole milk
🥣 Nonfat Greek yogurt → Cultured pasteurized skim milk
That’s it. The only difference is whether the cream is separated. Neither of these options are ultra-processed, and there’s nothing wrong with either one.
