Greek Yogurt is loaded with protein and calcium. This dairy food also has other nutrients such as magnesium, vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B12, phosphorus and potassium. A 6-ounce serving of non-fat Greek yogurt only has around 100 calories yet provides almost 20g of protein (what you will find in 2-3 ounces of meat) and 200mg of calcium.
