How Much Is 1.5 Cups of Greek Yogurt in Ounces?
1.5 cups of greek yogurt equals 12.96 oz. Greek yogurt has a density of 245g per cup (245g per cup), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour would be 6.62 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.5 cups of greek yogurt
- 1 cup of greek yogurt = 245g
- 1.5 × 245 = 367.5g
- Convert grams to ounces: 367.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 12.96 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Thickness varies between brands. Full-fat, low-fat, and non-fat versions can have slightly different weights per measuring cup.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
