How Much Is 4 Teaspoons of Yogurt in Ounces?
4 teaspoons of yogurt weighs 0.72 oz. This is based on yogurt having a density of 245g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 4 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4 teaspoons of yogurt
- 1 teaspoon of yogurt = 5.10g
- 4 × 5.10 = 20.42g
- Convert grams to ounces: 20.42 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.72 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Yogurt weighs 245g per cup. Spoon it into the measuring spoon without pressing down too firmly.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
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.
