It's Greek to Me (wow how cliché)

New fav breakfast thing or late afternoon snack:

This:

0% Fat Greek Yogurt. Its not secret, I do not like Greek Yogurt but its SOOO good for you...and a great source of protein I am trying to make it better in my diet.

PLUS: half a bottle of these new Naked (lets not kid ourselves, I like the name most) Reduced Calorie Tropical Juices (they make with coconut water which makes them lower cal and higher potassium!)

I have to say the combo is yummy! I use half the bottle of juice and put a cup of yogurt in there....stir it up and whisk it up and drink it. YUM! Make it the night before....so its ready in the am on the go!!!

Thanks Lea Anne for this following tip....you can totally use Greek Yogurt as a sub for many things when cooking. Try using it instead of sour cream!

The benefits of Greek Yogurt in general and why its better than normal yogurt:

-higher in protein! Keeps you more full for longer! (I mean we are talking double the protein!)

-lower in carbs than normal yogurt!

-thick and creamy so you can use it in recipes instead of sour cream or sub it for butter or mayo!

(or even sub for half of the butter/sour cream/ or mayo)

-Lea Anne suggest you take Greek yogurt and add a packet of Ranch seasoning or French Onion for a nice vegi dip!

-Use instead of mayo as well! Make healthier summer potato salad!

Try adding it! I am going to grab a Ranch packet at the store so if I need a before bedtime snack I can mix a smidge of the flavoring into a small amount of the Greek Yogurt....and dip water-y vegis in it like cucumbers, etc to fill me up with little calories.

Go Greek! Opa! Make sure to grab the low fat version though :)
