Current Obsession: Greek Yogurt

Hello foodies!! Let me tell you about my current obsession (that I have a feeling will stay pretty persistent!) GREEK YOGURT! Not only is it inexpensive, but it's so good for you in so many ways. Here's a few of the benefits: 

1. Cost effective - get a huge tub of it (~$6) and it lasts a week. I get it plain, 0% or 2% fat. It's so good and tasty!

2. Replace it for anything you use sour cream/cream/half-and-half for. I use it to make chicken, tuna, and egg salads. I use to marinade meat (any white meat or firm seafood - the yogurt cultures help tenderize the meat too!) Add siracha, chili powder, paprika, garlic and onion powder and other favorite spices for a DELICIOUS marinade! I also use it to make amazing dips for veggies and multi-grain chips. SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP IS NOW GOOD FOR YOU!!!

3. It's the quickest, most effective breakfast EVER. It's versatile: no prep, no cooking...and it is AWESOME. Drizzle honey, add fresh or frozen berries or a banana and you're good to go. For a crunch, add some nuts (added protein too!)



Give Greek yogurt a shot! =) Until next time, happy eating!
