Big Fat Greek Deliciousness

About a month ago greek yogurt was recommended to me by a few friends and I finally decided to try it. Since then I've been experimenting with a few different ways to use it...in smoothies, as a vegetable dip, fruit dip, with fruit mixed in...lots of different ways. The only way I've found that I don't like it is plain. It tastes like really weird sour cream all by itself.

Well, yesterday I took one of my little yogurt cups and added about 3/4 tablespoon of splenda, drizzled about a tablespoon of honey, and then sprinkled some cinnamon on top....YUMMY!!!!! Very delicious, almost like a desert! And sooooo creamy!

The particular kind of greek yogurt I used is 80 calories for 6oz and then the honey was about 64 calories so it's a perfect low calorie snack.

Greek yogurt is usually double the protien of regular yogurt, this particular kind had 15 grams in just 6oz! It's also a good source of your daily dairy! Pair it with some fruit and your tastebuds will thank you for sure!

  1. It usually has around half the carbs as regular yogurt, too! ... and is super-easy to make. :) http://jendownard.blogspot.com/2011/05/thursday-yogurt-making.html
