Oikos Pro Vanilla Greek Yogurt: 20g Protein per 100g, Full Labelgrade Breakdown
Labelgrade: B+ 82 / 100 — Highest protein density of any Greek yogurt we've graded — 20g protein per 100g, boosted above the plain-yogurt baseline by added whey protein concentrate. Sodium is very low and naturally-occurring lactose is the only sugar. Stevia (a plant-derived sweetener) is listed in the ingredients, which moves it out of the 'cleanest possible' band that plain Fage and Chobani occupy.
The short answer
Oikos Pro Vanilla Greek Yogurt delivers 20 g of protein per 100 g — the highest density of any Greek yogurt in our database (USDA FDC 2755594). At the 240 g USDA reference serving, that’s 48 g of protein and 336 calories. The Labelgrade is B+ (82 / 100): top-tier protein density, very low sodium, no significant added sugar (the 7.2 g listed includes naturally-occurring lactose), but the formulation includes added whey protein concentrate, sugar, and stevia — which moves it out of the “cleanest possible” band that plain Fage and Chobani occupy.
Why this Labelgrade
| Dimension | Grade | Score | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein density | B+ | 80 / 100 | 20 g of protein per 100 g — the highest of any Greek yogurt we’ve graded, boosted by added whey protein concentrate |
| Ingredient quality | B | 78 / 100 | Cultured nonfat milk first; whey protein concentrate, natural flavors, tapioca starch, sugar, stevia, and potassium sorbate are all listed. Longer ingredient list than plain strained yogurt |
| Sugar load | A+ | 100 / 100 | 7.2 g per serving — mostly lactose; the small amount of added sugar isn’t enough to penalize meaningfully |
| Sodium load | A+ | 96 / 100 | 45 mg per 100 g — among the lowest in our database |
| Fiber | F | 30 / 100 | 0 g, expected for yogurt |
| Protein per dollar | N/A | — | High-protein Greek yogurts typically price 30–60% above plain strained yogurts |
| Overall | B+ | 82 / 100 | The protein-density king of our yogurt section. Lose half a grade vs Fage Total 0% on ingredient simplicity, but win on per-gram protein |
How it compares
| Product | Protein per 100 g | Per 240 g serving (USDA ref) | Sugar per 100 g |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oikos Pro Vanilla (this product) | 20 g | 48 g | 3 g (mostly lactose + small added) |
| Fage Total 0% Nonfat | 18 g | 32.4 g (per 180g ref) | 5 g (lactose only) |
| Chobani Plain Non-Fat | 16 g | 28.8 g (per 180g ref) | 6 g (lactose only) |
| Good Culture Cottage Cheese | 19 g | 28.5 g (per 150g ref) | 3 g (lactose only) |
| Plain cooked chicken breast (benchmark) | ~31 g per 100 g | n/a | 0 g |
Oikos Pro wins density among Greek yogurts. Fage wins on ingredient simplicity (just milk + cultures). Good Culture cottage cheese is the close-second on density and matches Oikos Pro on sodium. Plain chicken breast remains the per-gram protein benchmark.
Whole-food equivalent
240 g of Oikos Pro Vanilla (48 g protein) is roughly equivalent to 155 g of cooked chicken breast — about 5.5 oz. The yogurt comes in a single shelf-stable cup; the chicken requires cooking. The trade-off is ingredients: Oikos Pro has whey concentrate + flavors + stevia where the chicken is just chicken.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much protein is in Oikos Pro Vanilla Greek Yogurt?
20 grams of protein per 100 grams of yogurt — equivalent to 48 grams per the 240g USDA reference serving (USDA FDC 2755594). That's the highest protein density of any Greek yogurt in our database. A typical retail single-serve cup contains around 20–24 g of protein at the same density.
How does Oikos Pro compare to Fage Total 0%?
Oikos Pro is denser: 20 g protein per 100 g vs Fage's 18 g — about 11% more. The Oikos Pro density comes from added whey protein concentrate; Fage achieves its density through straining alone (no added protein).
Does Oikos Pro Vanilla have added sugar or artificial sweeteners?
The ingredient list includes sugar and stevia leaf Reb M (a plant-derived sweetener). The total sugars (7.2g per serving) include both naturally-occurring lactose and any added sugar; USDA does not break out the added portion. The product also contains natural flavors and tapioca starch as a thickener.
Is Oikos Pro a 'high protein' food under FDA rules?
Yes — well above the 20% Daily Value threshold for the 'high in protein' claim, even at small retail-cup serving sizes. 48 g per 240 g is 96% of the FDA Daily Value of 50 g.
Why does Oikos Pro have more protein than plain Greek yogurt?
Standard Greek yogurts (Fage, Chobani Plain) get their protein from milk solids concentrated by straining. Oikos Pro adds whey protein concentrate to the strained yogurt base, increasing the protein density. This is a supplementation strategy, not a defect — but it's also why the ingredient list is longer than plain strained yogurt.
How much sodium per serving?
108 mg per 240g serving — very low, about 5% of the FDA daily limit. Per 100g (45 mg) it's among the lowest-sodium foods in our database.
Is the vanilla flavor sweetened with sugar or stevia?
Both. The ingredient list shows sugar plus stevia leaf Reb M (a plant-derived high-intensity sweetener). The 'natural flavors' component is unspecified.
