Greek Yogurt - make this change today!

Many of you have heard me rave about Greek yogurt.  You need to get the real deal - not a Greek style yogurt.  Greek yogurt is the superstar because it is natural, naturally low in carbs, high in protein and tastes really good!  In Greece, yogurt is made with sheep's milk.  In the U. S. most yogurt, including Greek is made with cows milk.  Greek yogurt strains more whey from the solids, producing an extremely creamy texture - the same as full fat sour cream.  The non fat version makes you feel like you are splurging.  Greek yogurt has a little bit more calories than regular yogurt, but has more protein.

At my house, we don't have sour cream anymore, we use the fat free FAGE as a substitute and my husband has never missed it. For desserts when we have company, I will mix plain FAGE with honey and a bit of vanilla extract and serve over fruit.  I have also used it in cooking in place of sour cream with  great results.

It is naturally nutritious, low in calories, high in protein and only has about 3 ingredients listed, which is unlike the lowfat low calorie sugar substitutes.

Try it, you'll love it!  This small change is easy to make!
