How much will be left at bedtime?
1 × 5.3 oz cup, by brand of Coffee yogurt (middle of the range)
Left at 11:00 PM (8 h later), average metabolism
≈ 7 mg
Range 3–11 mg (fast to slow metabolism)
22 mg is already at or under the 50 mg this tool aims to have left at bedtime.
Estimate from a simple model: half-life of 3, 5 or 8 hours, 50 mg bedtime target. How we calculate
Caffeine by size
| Serving | Caffeine |
|---|---|
| 5.3 oz cup, by brand | 3–40 mg |
| 5.3 oz Dannon Low Fat Coffee Yogurt | 40 mg |
| 5.3 oz Chobani Coffee Greek Yogurt | 3 mg |
| 2.3 oz Yasso Coffee Chocolate Chip Frozen Greek Yogurt Bar | 12–13 mg |
How long does Coffee yogurt stay in your system?
Our model halves caffeine every 5 hours for average metabolism, and every 3 or 8 hours for fast or slow metabolism. From one 5.3 oz cup, by brand of Coffee yogurt (22 mg, the middle of the 3–40 mg range), about 11 mg is still in your body 5 hours later and about 6 mg after 10 hours. If you clear caffeine slowly (an 8-hour half-life), about 9 mg is left after 10 hours.
Estimated caffeine left at 11:00 PM from one 5.3 oz cup, by brand (22 mg, the middle of the 3–40 mg range), using a half-life of 5 hours for average metabolism and 3 to 8 hours for the range. How we calculate
| Had at | Left at bedtime (average) | Range |
|---|---|---|
| 8:00 AM (15 h before bed) | ≈ 3 mg | 1–6 mg |
| 12:00 PM (11 h before bed) | ≈ 5 mg | 2–8 mg |
| 3:00 PM (8 h before bed) | ≈ 7 mg | 3–11 mg |
| 6:00 PM (5 h before bed) | ≈ 11 mg | 7–14 mg |
How many fit in a day?
Reference amounts are for caffeine from all sources combined. Counted at the upper end of the stated amount, one serving at a time:
- Up to 400 mg a day for most healthy adults (FDA, EFSA): about 10 servings.
- Up to 200 mg at one time for healthy adults (EFSA): about 5 servings in one go.
- Up to 200 mg a day in pregnancy (EFSA, NHS): about 5 servings.
These are reference amounts for groups of people, not a personal limit. Some people feel jittery or sleep worse on much less. See the cutoff calculator for timing.
Good to know
In CSPI's chart, a cup of Dannon Low Fat Coffee Yogurt has more than ten times the caffeine of the same size of Chobani Coffee Greek Yogurt.
How the serving amount was worked out: The first row is the lowest and highest 5.3 oz coffee yogurt in CSPI's chart (Chobani 3 mg, Dannon 40 mg).

How late can I drink Coffee yogurt?
Center for Science in the Public Interest gives 3–40 mg per 5.3 oz cup, by brand. Even the top of that range is at or under the 50 mg our calculator aims to have left at bedtime, so it sets no cutoff for a single serving. Several servings add up.
How long does Coffee yogurt stay in your system?

Where the number comes from
- Caffeine chart. Center for Science in the Public Interest. table "Chocolate, ice cream, and yogurt", rows "Dannon Low Fat Coffee Yogurt | 5.3 oz. | 40", "Chobani Coffee Greek Yogurt | 5.3 oz. | 3", "Yasso Coffee Chocolate Chip Frozen Greek Yogurt Bar | 1 bar, 2.3 oz. | 12–13". Dannon's own site (its Low Fat Yogurt page, which lists the coffee flavor) and Chobani's (its Greek yogurt page; its sitemap lists no coffee product page) gave no caffeine figure we could read on 2026-10-13, and Yasso's site refused every read (HTTP 403) that day, so no maker figure could be opened: these numbers are CSPI's.

Recipes and labels change. If a number here no longer matches the label, the label wins.
General information, not medical advice
If you feel unwell after caffeine — for example chest pain, a fast or irregular heartbeat that does not settle, fainting, confusion or trouble breathing — get urgent medical help. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18, take medication, or have a heart, liver or anxiety condition, high blood pressure or a sleep disorder, ask a doctor or pharmacist what amount is right for you.
