let the sunshine in

it's supposed to rain this weekend,

maybe this will brighten things up around here.

Greek Yogurt

When it comes to eating yogurt, I like mine topped with granola. It is the complementary crunch to the creamy thickness of Greek yogurt. For almost a year I've chosen Greek yogurt over standard yogurts for a few key reasons.

+Greek yogurt has almost double the protein as standard yogurts
+It's creamier and thicker
+Lower in carbohydrates
+Low sodium content
+No added sweeteners, thickeners, preservatives, or high fructose corn syrup

Look for Greek yogurt at your local market:
Chobani
Fage
Oikos
Voskos
Greek Gods

I'd love to try making my own and I've found a recipe here that looks worth trying. (via the little red house)

Do you eat Greek yogurt? Have you tried any interesting flavor or brands you'd like to share?
