Two Good Vanilla Greek Yogurt: 23g Protein with 80% Less Sugar, Labelgrade B+
B+ 80 / 100 — Two Good's signature pitch: 80% less sugar than mainstream flavored Greek yogurts (3.6 g vs 12-15 g per cup), achieved through stevia and a partial sugar removal process during straining. Protein density per 100 g (13 g) is lower than plain Fage (18) or Chobani (16) because Two Good is reduced-fat, not non-fat, and has more water in the formulation. The vanilla flavor uses lemon juice concentrate and natural flavors. Tapioca starch and gellan gum thicken the texture.
🛒 Buy on Amazon →The short answer
Two Good Lowfat Vanilla Greek Yogurt delivers 23.4 g of protein and 162 calories per 180 g USDA reference serving with only 3.6 g of sugar — about 80% less than typical vanilla Greek yogurts (USDA FDC 2757425). The pitch: a pre-sweetened vanilla yogurt without added cane sugar. Sweetness comes from stevia leaf Reb M; the reduced lactose comes from an extended straining process. The Labelgrade is B+ (80 / 100) — strong on protein delivery, sugar load, and sodium; slightly behind plain strained yogurts on per-100-g protein density.
Why this Labelgrade
| Dimension | Grade | Score | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein density | B- | 70 / 100 | 13 g per 100 g — lower than plain Fage (18) or Chobani (16) because Two Good is lowfat (not non-fat) and uses added water in the formulation. Per-cup protein delivery is still strong (~19.5 g per 5.3 oz retail cup) |
| Ingredient quality | B | 78 / 100 | Cultured reduced-fat milk first. Stevia leaf for sweetness, no artificial sweeteners. Tapioca starch + gellan gum for texture (necessary with reduced lactose). About 11 ingredients total — longer than plain Fage/Chobani but cleaner than most flavored yogurts |
| Sugar load | A+ | 100 / 100 | 3.6 g per 180 g (2 g per 100 g) — one of the lowest sugar counts in any flavored dairy product. All naturally-occurring lactose; no added sugar |
| Sodium load | A+ | 100 / 100 | 72 mg per 180 g (40 mg per 100 g) — extremely low |
| Fiber | F | 30 / 100 | 0 g, expected for yogurt |
| Saturated fat load | A | 91 / 100 | 2 g per 100 g — well below the 20 g FDA daily limit — clean on saturated fat |
| Overall | B+ | 80 / 100 | The “pre-sweetened with stevia” option. If you want vanilla yogurt without adding cane sugar yourself, this is the leading option. If maximum per-spoonful protein is the goal, plain Fage or Oikos Pro score higher |
How it compares
| Product | Protein per 100 g | Protein per 180 g | Sugar per 180 g | Sweetener |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two Good Vanilla (this product) | 13 g | 23.4 g | 3.6 g (residual lactose) | Stevia |
| Two Good Plain | 14 g | 24 g | 4 g (lactose) | None |
| Fage Total 0% Nonfat Plain | 18 g | 32.4 g | 9 g (lactose) | None |
| Chobani Plain Non-Fat | 16 g | 28.8 g | 10.8 g (lactose) | None |
| Oikos Pro Vanilla | 20 g (per 100 g) | 36 g (at 180 g equiv) | ~5 g | Sugar + stevia |
Two Good’s positioning: lowest sugar per cup of any Greek yogurt while still delivering substantial protein. The trade-off vs Oikos Pro (the other vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt in our database) is lower protein density in exchange for cleaner sweetener strategy (stevia only, no added sugar).
Whole-food equivalent
180 g of Two Good Vanilla (23 g protein) equals roughly:
- 74 g of cooked chicken breast (2.6 oz)
- 4 large eggs
- 78 g of Quest Protein Chips (about 2.5 bags)
For 162 calories, the protein-to-calorie ratio (7 calories per gram) is excellent — comparable to plain Greek yogurt.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much protein is in Two Good Vanilla Greek Yogurt?
23.4 grams of protein per 180 g USDA reference serving (USDA FDC 2757425). A typical retail 5.3 oz (150 g) cup contains about 19.5 g of protein at the same density.
How does Two Good have so little sugar?
Two Good uses a proprietary 'slow straining' process that removes more lactose than standard Greek yogurt production, then adds stevia leaf for sweetness. The result is 3.6 g of sugar per 180 g serving — about 80% less than typical vanilla Greek yogurts (which run 12-15 g per cup) and 50-60% less than plain Greek yogurts (which have 7-10 g of naturally-occurring lactose).
Is there any added sugar?
No. The 3.6 g of sugars per serving are all naturally-occurring residual lactose. Stevia leaf Reb M is used for sweetness without contributing to the sugar count.
How does Two Good Vanilla compare to plain Greek yogurt?
Two Good has slightly less protein per 100 g (13 g vs 16-18 g for plain Fage or Chobani) because Two Good adds water during processing and uses lowfat milk (not non-fat). The trade-off: pre-sweetened vanilla flavor without adding cane sugar yourself, with similar overall calorie density (162 cal per 180 g matches plain Greek yogurts at the same serving).
Does it contain stevia?
Yes — stevia leaf Reb M, a plant-derived high-intensity sweetener. This is what enables the low-sugar claim without using artificial sweeteners (sucralose, acesulfame K) and without adding cane sugar.
What thickens it if there's less sugar?
Tapioca starch and gellan gum are listed in the ingredients. These provide texture and prevent the yogurt from separating, especially given the reduced lactose content.
Is Two Good lactose-free?
No — but it contains less lactose than standard Greek yogurts because of the extended straining process. People with mild lactose intolerance often tolerate it well.
Is it 'high in protein' under FDA rules?
Yes — 23.4 g per 180 g serving is about 47% of the FDA 50 g Daily Value, well above the 20% threshold for the 'high in protein' claim.
