It seems like almost everytime I watch a health based show or read a health based magazine I read something about Greek yogurt. I’ve been a "Dannon Fruit on the Bottom" girl since childhood so I’ve been putting off trying it.
Today I went to the supermarket and bought Chobani Non-Fat Greek Yogurt in several flavors including Blood Orange. I’ve been on a Blood Orange binge ever since the Blood Orange Pinkberry I had this weekend. If you haven’t tried Pinkberry before try it. It’s amazing and only 154 calories for a small cup. Just make sure that the topping options you choose are all fruit. I had blueberries, blood oranges pieces and raspberries on mine. Back to the Greek Yogurt; I see what all the rage is about. It is thick and creamy with a twinge of sourness. It’s almost unbelievable that it is nonfat and only 140 calories for 6 ounces.
There are many benefits to switching from American yogurt to nonfat Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is higher in protein per serving, has less sugar and is lower in carbs. It’s so thick and creamy you can use the plain Greek yogurt as a substitute for mayonnaise or sour cream in recipes. So if you haven’t yet, try Greek yogurt and see what all the rage is about!
