| Standard (1×) | 226.8g (8 oz) | ¾ cup + 2 tbsp + 2 ½ tsp | 219 mL |

Measuring 8 oz 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, 8 Ounces (226.8g) translates to 0.93 US cups (¾ cup + 2 tbsp + 2 ½ tsp). By contrast, using the 0% nonfat plain greek yogurt measure (245g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 8 oz occupies ¾ cup + 2 tbsp + 2 ½ tsp (0.93 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ¾ cup + 2 tbsp + 2 ½ tsp (14.81 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.
