| Standard (1×) | 50g (1.76 oz) | 3 tbsp + ¾ tsp | 48.3 mL |

Measuring 50g 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, 50 Grams (50g) translates to 0.20 US cups (3 tbsp + ¾ tsp). By contrast, using the 0% nonfat plain greek yogurt measure (245g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 50g occupies 3 tbsp + ¾ tsp (0.20 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 3 tbsp + ¾ tsp (3.27 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.
