I am an enormous fan of Greek yogurt. I've tried Fage, Chobani and Oikos (by Stonyfield) brands and I love them all! I buy a 2-cup container of it each week to throw into my smoothies or to eat as a snack. It is so rich and creamy you will swear you're eating something that is horribly bad for you but it is actually a filling, fat-less treat. The stats for Fage Total 0%:
Serving Size: 1 cup
Calories: 120
Fat: 0g
Cholesterol: 0g
Sodium: 85mg
Carb: 9g
Sugar: 9 g
Protein: 20g
Buying the plain stuff is great because you can add in your own toppings and control how much sugar is going into it! Things I add to my Greek yogurt:
- Blueberries (any berries really!)
- Agave nectar
- Crushed graham cracker
- Honey
- Fiber-rich whole grain cereals (Kashi has a bunch of great fiber-filled cereals)
- Nuts! Like the walnuts pictured above

Probably not as creamy as the coco-gurt from Choosing Raw but still yummy.
Tomorrow I'm going to let you all in on one of my favorite canned soups (yes, canned). Maybe I will even top it with Greek yogurt?
With health,
Melissa
