Measuring 225g 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, 225 Grams (225g) translates to 0.92 US cups (¾ cup + 2 tbsp + 2 tsp). By contrast, using the 0% nonfat plain greek yogurt measure (245g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 225g occupies ¾ cup + 2 tbsp + 2 tsp (0.92 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ¾ cup + 2 tbsp + 2 tsp (14.69 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.
