Chobani Zero Sugar Vanilla Greek Yogurt: 13g Protein, Labelgrade B+
B+ 83 / 100 — Cleanest mass-market 'no sugar' Greek yogurt — uses ultra-filtration + allulose + stevia + monk fruit to deliver real Greek yogurt protein density (13g per 100g) at zero sugar and only ~70 cal per retail cup. Notable for using ZERO artificial sweeteners (no sucralose, no ace-K, no aspartame).
🛒 Buy on Amazon →The short answer
Chobani Zero Sugar Vanilla Greek Yogurt delivers 13 g of protein per 100 g (USDA FDC 2755650) — about 19.5 g per 5.3 oz (150 g) retail cup at just 70 calories per cup with 0 g of sugar. The trick is two-fold: ultra-filtration removes most of the natural lactose, and the sweetness comes from allulose + stevia + monk fruit (zero artificial sweeteners). The Labelgrade is B+ (83 / 100) — the cleanest “no sugar” Greek yogurt format on the US market. The ingredient list is longer than plain Fage’s two-ingredient panel (skim milk + cultures), but every additional item is recognizable plant or dairy-derived. No sucralose, no acesulfame K, no aspartame — that’s the structural advantage over most other zero-sugar dairy products.
Why this Labelgrade
| Dimension | Grade | Score | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein density | B- | 70 / 100 | 13 g per 100 g — same as plain Fage and Chobani Plain. The per-cup total (~19.5 g) matters more than per-100 g density for the typical use case |
| Ingredient quality | B | 78 / 100 | 18 ingredients including 6 live cultures. Allulose, stevia, monk fruit are clean sweetener choices. Tapioca flour + citrus fiber + guar gum are texture stabilizers (common in low-sugar dairy). No artificial sweeteners — that’s a meaningful win over Two Good and most flavored Greek yogurts |
| Saturated fat load | A+ | 100 / 100 | 0 g saturated fat — perfect for a nonfat yogurt |
| Sodium load | A+ | 100 / 100 | 126 mg per 180 g serving (~70 mg per 5.3 oz cup) — low to very low |
| Sugar load | A+ | 100 / 100 | 0 g of sugar — legitimately zero, validated by the FDA’s treatment of allulose. The natural lactose is mostly filtered out before the sweetener blend is added |
| Fiber | F | 37 / 100 | 2 g per 180 g — modest, from added citrus fiber. Not the reason you’d eat this |
| Overall | B+ | 83 / 100 | The benchmark for the “no added sugar, no artificial sweetener” Greek yogurt category. Worth choosing over Two Good if you want to avoid any cane sugar entirely, and worth choosing over plain Greek yogurt if you want the vanilla flavor without the typical 12-15 g of added sugar in flavored variants |
How it compares
| Product | Protein per 5.3 oz cup | Calories per cup | Added sugar | Sweeteners | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chobani Zero Sugar Vanilla (this product) | ~19.5 g | ~70 | 0 g | Allulose + stevia + monk fruit | 18 |
| Two Good Vanilla | 12 g | 80 | 2 g | Stevia + chicory + cane sugar | 14 |
| Fage Total 0% Plain | 18 g | 100 | 0 g (4 g natural lactose) | None | 6 |
| Chobani Plain Non-Fat | 16 g | 90 | 0 g (4 g natural lactose) | None | 6 |
| Chobani Vanilla (flavored, standard) | 12 g | 120 | 11 g | Cane sugar | 8 |
| Yoplait Greek 100 Vanilla | 12 g | 100 | 4 g | Stevia + cane sugar | 12 |
| Oikos Pro Vanilla | 20 g | 110 | 1 g | Sucralose + ace-K | 9 |
Chobani Zero Sugar Vanilla sits in a unique position: more protein than Two Good and the same or better than most flavored variants, with zero added sugar AND zero artificial sweeteners. Oikos Pro Vanilla beats it on protein per cup (20 g vs 19.5 g) but uses sucralose + ace-K. Plain Fage and Chobani win on ingredient simplicity but have noticeable natural lactose.
Whole-food equivalent
One 5.3 oz cup (19.5 g protein) ≈ 63 g of cooked chicken breast (about 2.2 oz). The cup also brings calcium (~20% DV), probiotic cultures, and a sweet vanilla flavor at low calorie cost — characteristics chicken doesn’t have. The trade-offs are the longer ingredient list (18 items vs 1) and a higher per-gram price.
Scope
This page covers Chobani Zero Sugar Vanilla Greek Yogurt (UPC 00818290018571, USDA FDC 2755650) in the standard 5.3 oz / 150 g single-cup format. Chobani’s Zero Sugar line includes:
- Vanilla (this product)
- Mixed Berry — same formulation, fruit purée + flavoring
- Strawberry, Blueberry, Peach — additional flavor variants
- Plain — same base, no flavor additions
Per-100-g macros are nearly identical across flavors (~13 g protein, ~46 cal, 0 g sugar). The fruit-flavored variants add 1-3 g of natural sugar from fruit purée. Chobani also sells a separate “Less Sugar” line (Madagascar Vanilla + Cinnamon, Wild Blueberry, etc.) which contains 5-9 g of natural sugar per cup — that’s a different product category. Always check the actual cup label.
Ingredients (from the USDA Branded Foods entry)
Ultra-filtered nonfat milk, water, skim milk, allulose, contains 2% or less of: vanilla extract, natural flavors, tapioca flour, citrus fiber, guar gum, sea salt, stevia leaf extract (Reb M), monk fruit extract, citric acid, cultures. 6 live and active cultures: S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. acidophilus, Bifidus, L. casei, and L. rhamnosus.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much protein is in Chobani Zero Sugar Vanilla?
13 g of protein per 100 g (USDA FDC 2755650). The USDA reference serving is 180 g (23.4 g protein); the typical retail 5.3 oz cup is 150 g (~19.5 g protein at ~70 calories). Chobani's marketing 'less than 70 calories per serving' refers to the 5.3 oz cup.
How does it have 0g of sugar?
Two-step trick. Ultra-filtration removes most of the lactose from the milk (the natural milk sugar — 4-5 g per 100 g in regular Greek yogurt). Then allulose, stevia leaf extract, and monk fruit extract provide the sweetness without adding sugar to the label. Allulose is the bulk sweetener (Chobani uses a meaningful amount) and is FDA-exempt from the 'sugar' line because it's not metabolized like glucose. The label legitimately reads 0 g sugar.
What is allulose?
A rare naturally-occurring sugar that the body absorbs but doesn't fully metabolize. Near-zero calories, near-zero glycemic impact. FDA exempts it from the 'sugar' and 'added sugar' label lines. People with sensitive GI sometimes get bloating at higher doses (>20-30 g/day); a 5.3 oz Chobani Zero Sugar cup contains roughly 5-7 g of allulose, well below most tolerance thresholds.
How is it different from Two Good Vanilla?
Both target the 'high-protein, low-sugar' Greek yogurt segment. Two Good Vanilla: 12 g protein, 80 cal, 2 g sugar per 5.3 oz cup, uses stevia + chicory root + cane sugar. Chobani Zero Sugar Vanilla: ~19.5 g protein, 70 cal, 0 g sugar per 5.3 oz cup, uses allulose + stevia + monk fruit. Chobani is denser in protein and uses no artificial sweeteners; Two Good is slightly cheaper and uses real cane sugar (small amount). Different consumer choice depending on whether you prefer allulose or a tiny amount of real sugar.
How does it compare to plain Greek yogurt?
Fage Total 0% Plain: 18 g protein, 100 cal, 4 g sugar (all natural lactose) per 5.3 oz cup. Chobani Zero Sugar Vanilla: ~19.5 g protein, 70 cal, 0 g sugar per 5.3 oz cup. So Zero Sugar has MORE protein and FEWER calories than plain Fage — but the ingredient list is longer (allulose, stevia, monk fruit, tapioca flour, citrus fiber, guar gum) vs Fage's pasteurized skim milk + 5 cultures. The cleaner ingredient list is plain Fage; the lower-calorie-per-protein math is Chobani Zero Sugar.
Is it 'high in protein' under FDA rules?
Yes — 23 g per 180 g USDA serving is 47% of the FDA Daily Value (50 g), well above the 20% 'high in protein' threshold. Even the smaller 5.3 oz retail cup (~19.5 g) qualifies.
What are the live cultures?
Six: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Casei, and L. Rhamnosus. Two of those (S. Thermophilus and L. Bulgaricus) are required to be present in any product labeled 'yogurt' under FDA rules. The other four are 'probiotic strains' added for digestive health claims. The probiotic effect from any single yogurt cup is modest; daily yogurt consumption has stronger evidence.
Is Chobani Zero Sugar diabetic-friendly?
Yes — among the better commercial options. 0 g added sugar, only 5-7 g of natural carbs (mostly residual lactose), and allulose doesn't spike blood glucose. Most diabetes-friendly diet guidelines would approve. Per-cup carb count is ~9 g total carbs minus ~2 g fiber = ~7 g net carbs — works within carb-counted meal plans.
