To Greek or Not To Greek? Yogurt That Is!!!
Here we go!  Another greek yogurt I just had to try.  If you aren't eating greek yogurt, you should. It has at least double the amount of protein/serving as standard yogurts and has a creamier taste.  Remember protein takes longer to digest, so it helps you feel fuller longer.  This is a great strategy if you are trying to lose weight.  If you are diabetic, it helps prevent huge blood sugar spikes (provided you don't add more sugar).  

At only 100 calories, this variety packs a pretty powerful punch.  Plus a hefty serving size of over 5 ounces.  Let me give you some thumbs-up nutritional specifics:
  • Only 100 calories 
  • Wonderful taste without that aftertaste most yogurts give
  • 10 grams of whopping protein
  • Source of calcium
  • Gluten-Free
  • Only 9 grams of sugar (taste like it has much more with fruit infusion)
What I like to do is top with about 1 Tbsp walnuts to add a bit of healthy fats.  You could also add some flax or granola for a bit of fiber.

Next time you are in the grocery aisle and feel overwhelmed with all the choices, try these. I really think you will enjoy them!
