Greek Yogurt Love

Greek Yogurt Love

I know I may be late to the party, but if you are to; I want to share my new love of Greek Yogurt!

Grocery shopping I always pick up Greek yogurt, FLAVORED Greek yogur that is. I often overlook the many containers of plain yogurt sitting right next to all the flavorful ones I have chosen. Recently. A co-worker of mine happened to bring plain greek yogurt in her lunch. The only reason she packed it was because her personal trainer recommended it to her in her diet. She was quite verbal on her dislike of it. So much so she had me taste it. And so my love og plain greek yogurt began... It tasted just like sour cream.

Plain Greek Yogurt is a great, beneficial, light alternative to the often fat and calorie filled sour cream.

Trust me I like my sour cream so this find is AMAZING to me. Cheesy potatoes with less fat, cheescake with less fat, veggie dips, potato chip dips, cakes, breads, soups, tacos and enchiladas...and on and on! If you are looking for a healthy alternative, I encourage you to try it. Check out the chart below. I found it on another post. It is Chobani's substitution list. Try it, you may like it!
