Food Find Friday - Greek Yogurt


I have loved and enjoyed yogurt for years.  I have one pretty much every day for lunch.  I also have loved Greek food for years, since I was a child and we were close friends with a Greek family. 

I however did not know about GREEK yogurt until recently.  It's totally yummy!
Fage Total Authentic Greek Yogurt - 0% Fat

I am using it in my morning smoothie and it totally rocks as a substitute for sour cream, especially in recipes.  Here's the low down on the nutritional in formation from a random Internet site for 6oz.

           Greek Yogurt (Fat Free)   vs.   Regular Yogurt  (Fat Free) 
Fat            0g                                                    0g
Carbs        7g                                                   16g
Protein      18g                                                   6g
Fiber          0g                                                    1g
Calories    100                                                  86


There's a ton more protein and fewer carbs, and the calories increase just a little, tiny bit.  Most importantly for those of us who are trying to lighten up.  It really adds that creamy texture you're missing if you're trying to cut calories.  Thumbs up from Big Mama and Little Mouths, alike.
