The Healthiest Greek Yogurt, Graded A to F. They’re All Actually Good.
Picking the healthiest Greek yogurt is an unusually low-stakes decision, because they are all genuinely good. Most of our report cards are an exposé. This one isn’t. We graded every Greek yogurt we could find, plain and flavored, nonfat to full-fat, on the same 6-dimension Labelgrade, and every single one landed between a B and an A-. Greek yogurt is the rare grocery aisle where the health reputation is basically earned: high protein, modest sugar, clean ingredients. The gaps between them are small and almost entirely about two things, added sugar and milkfat, so this report card is less 'who failed' and more 'how the genuinely-good options separate.'
The verdict
We graded 19 Greek yogurts A–F: the category averages 81/100 (B+), from 85 (A-) at the top down to 78 (B) at the bottom.
Every Greek yogurt we graded landed between B and A- (78 to 85), the rare aisle where the marketing is basically true. The tiny gaps are added sugar and milkfat: Oikos Triple Zero Cherry took the top at A- (85), while the full-fat and fruit-blended tubs, Fage Total 5% among them, tie at the bottom on B (78), dinged on saturated fat and sugar rather than protein.

Pros and cons come straight from each product’s own label. A dimension is listed only when its sub-score is decisive (78 or above for a pro, 62 or below for a con), so a merely-average number never gets sold as a strength. Every figure is per labeled serving — full panels on each product page.

How we graded these
Each product is scored on six dimensions — protein density, ingredient quality, added sugar, sodium, fiber, and saturated fat — combined into a 0–100 score and a letter grade. Every number comes from the product’s own label, verified against USDA FoodData Central. The grade is absolute (relative to all packaged foods), which is why a whole category can land in the same band. See the full methodology. Last graded 2026-06-04.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Greek yogurt scored highest?
Dannon Oikos Triple Zero Blended Nonfat Greek Yogurt (Cherry) took the top at A- (85), with Oikos Nonfat Plain at B+ (84) and Fage Total 0% at B+ (83) just behind. The nonfat, low-added-sugar tubs lead generally. The spread is tight, so even the bottom of this list is a solid yogurt.
Why did full-fat Fage Total 5% land at the bottom?
It’s an excellent yogurt, and it doesn’t sit alone down there: it ties at B (78) with several fruit-blended tubs. Our score weighs saturated fat as one of six dimensions, and 5% milkfat carries more of it than the nonfat tubs. It lost a few points there, not on protein or ingredients. A good example of how the grade is absolute, not a popularity contest.
Is flavored Greek yogurt much worse than plain?
A little, not a lot. The fruit-on-the-bottom and flavored versions add sugar, which costs a few points, but most still land in the B range. Plain (or "zero sugar") plus your own fruit is the highest-scoring move.
How is the grade calculated?
Six dimensions — protein density, ingredient quality, added sugar, sodium, fiber, and saturated fat — into a 0–100 score and a letter grade, from each product’s own label, verified against USDA data. See our methodology page.
