Saving the World, One Healthy Food at a Time!
Greek yogurt is actually a super food that provides protein, calcium, magnesium and potassium—who’d have thought this kitchen staple could pack such a powerful punch? Even people with lactose intolerance can enjoy yogurt, as many people with lactose intolerance can digest it with few to no symptoms (which is great for those who can’t get their calcium from milk).
There are so many fun ways to include Greek yogurt in your diet. Dips, smoothies, baked goods, parfaits, spreads—the list goes on! You can even use it in place of sour cream and sneak it into desserts—yogurt can boost the flavor, volume and nutrients in many dishes.
Depending on the brand, Greek yogurt can be lower in sugar and higher in protein than regular yogurt. The recipes featured below use CHOBANI® Greek Yogurt, a brand I’m particularly a fan of. I especially like their kids’ yogurt because it provides 25% less sugar than the leading kids’ brand and has 2 times the protein—plus, it’s rBST-free, contains no preservatives or modified corn starch and is less than 5% lactose (again, a positive for those who have a hard time with lactose!). One my family’s favorite ways to eat yogurt is to freeze CHOBANI’s Kids® yogurt tubes and then pop them out of the freezer to enjoy as a post dinner dessert. I personally love the watermelon flavor, but everyone has their own favorite! Check out these tasty ways to enjoy Greek yogurt below for all ages!
Yogurt is an ideal food for toddlers since it offers protein, calcium, and probiotics important for digestive health. CHOBANI’s Tots® pouches also provide 12mg of Omega 3’s and have no artificial colors or flavors. Check out this tasty recipe for your little tot!
