Measuring 450g 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, 450 Grams (450g) translates to 1.84 US cups (1 ¾ cups + 1 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp). By contrast, using the 0% nonfat plain greek yogurt measure (245g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 450g occupies 1 ¾ cups + 1 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp (1.84 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ¾ cups + 1 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp (29.39 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.
