Measuring 125g of Strained Greek Yogurt in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of strained greek yogurt weighs 245g when measured spooned & packed, 125 Grams (125g) translates to 0.51 US cups (½ cup). By contrast, using the 0% nonfat plain greek yogurt measure (245g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 125g occupies ½ cup (0.51 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ½ cup (8.16 tablespoons total) using spooned & packed technique. Spoon into a dry measuring cup, tapping gently on the counter to settle thick curds, and level with a flat spatula.
