My husband recently turned me on to greek yogurt – it has a creamy and thick consistency and I love it!  One of the best things about greek yogurt is that it is high in protein.  Typical yogurt has 2 – 6 grams of protein while greek yogurt has 14 – 24 grams per serving.

Greek yogurt is a little more expensive than traditional varieties so use a coupon to try it out!  When you look for a brand to try, look for one that doesn’t have added sugar ( the only sugar in the yogurt is the lactose naturally occurring in milk ) and the milk used is rBST free (hormone free).  There are also a lot of fat free versions that are made without aspartame – we typically steer clear of fat-free versions because they contain fake sugar, like aspartame, and I’m not convinced it’s good for our bodies (or even safe).  There are organic versions, as well.

Some brands to check out:

• Chobani Greek Yogurt coupon
• FAGE Greek Yogurt coupon
• Yoplait Greek Yogurt coupon (just came out, we haven’t tried it yet)
• Oikos Greek Yogurtby Stonyfield coupon  (blueberry is the best)
• Trader Joe’s Greek Yogurt ( we love the vanilla version )

If you’re a DIY kind of cook, you can even make your own greek yogurt!
