Greek Yogurt - Regular Yogurt - and Sour Cream?

I recently "found" this alternative to regular yogurt. I am in heaven!

It actually has been around for some time but is more accessible these days. It gives a healthy alternative to regular yogurt and sour cream!!!!!

Low Fat Plain Greek Yogurt vs. Regular Low Fat Yogurt
1. Lactose Intolerant? Greek Yogurt is lower in carbohydrates and thus lactose, the milk sugar that some people have trouble digesting
2. Richer in Protein – Protein is brain food and helps in muscle recovery
3. Loaded with Calcium – regular yogurt has more calcium but greek yogurt still provides a good source
4. Low in Sugar
5. Texture is richer and thicker and thus keeps you fuller longer

Favorite use: Combination of fruits, which include but are not limited to – strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, banana - then I add some walnuts and a touch of honey.

Ok – brace yourself – keep an open mind – ARE YOU READY???

YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE THIS IN PLACE OF SOUR CREAM!

Low Fat Greek Yogurt vs. Sour Cream
1. Lower in calories
2. Lower in Fat
3. Lower in Cholesterol

I know, sounds crazy to use yogurt instead of sour cream…but remember, it is a richer, thicker consistency like sour cream so it works! I have yet to try it but if any of you have tried it, make a comment and let us know what you think!!!

My favorite brand is Fage and I buy it at Costco because you get more for your DOLLAR! It is also found at most local grocery stores…it usually cost around $6.00.

OH - DID I MENTION BY ADDING IN THE FRUITS AND NUTS TO A GREEK YOGURT SNACK...YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE AMOUNT OF FRUIT AND HEALTHY FATS YOU NEED DAILY? AHHHHH...SO FREAKIN TASTIE!
