In terms of thickness and consistency, Greek yogurt has a thicker texture and creamier consistency compared to regular yogurt. Whey, a watery liquid, usually sits on the surface of regular yogurt. However, it is removed from Greek yogurt during the manufacturing process, and this removal produces the change in texture between the two yogurts. Individuals can choose the texture they prefer, and it is easy to alter the thickness and consistency of any yogurt by adding a few extra ingredients. For example, a thin yogurt can be thickened by adding jam, and berries or bananas may provide a pleasant creaminess. Yogurt that is too thick can be thinned by adding milk.
