Greek Yogurt Recipes

Do you like yogurt?  Well if the answer is yes, you need to be aware of what kinds of yogurt you are eating.  Most yogurts in the grocery store, all brands, contain a large amount of sugar and processed items within the yogurt.  Even the low calorie yogurts are guilty of this.  While you look at the fact that you are only eating 90 calories worth of yogurt, the quality of the calories are not so good. Ninety calories worth of sugar and 90 calories of protein are not created equal in the world of fat loss.  So, ideally we would want 90 calories worth of protein in our yogurt.   Well guess what, its already done for us.  Greek yogurt is a more protein dense yogurt than that of the typical other leading yogurts.  It is also important to look at the labels of the variety of  Greek yogurts these days, because they now include additions with fruit and processed fruits containing large amounts of sugar as well.  So am I asking you to eat plain, unflavored, greek yogurt?  Yes, I am.  However, I am going to give a variety of different ways to "spice" up your greek yogurt while keeping the additional sugar calories at bay.
