Labneh
Serving: 100 g (about ⅓ cup)
Labneh is strained yogurt — thick, tangy and spreadable. It is a breakfast and mezze staple, usually drizzled with olive oil and za'atar. It carries more fat than plain yogurt but also a good dose of protein and calcium.
Nutrition per serving
Good to know
- Full-fat labneh is richer; low-fat versions cut much of the fat and calories.
- The olive oil drizzle on top can add 40–80 calories per serving.
- It pairs with vegetables and pita as a lighter alternative to heavier spreads.
Logging tip
Include the olive oil and za'atar in your shot — Nishnush factors the drizzle into the estimate.
