Last week I posted something on Facebook about Greek yogurt. I have been seeing commercials for this stuff, and wanted to give it a try. I wasn’t sure what flavors would be good, so I grabbed some vanilla, honey, blood orange, and pineapple. I figured if I was going to have yogurt, granola would go good on top. I grabbed a box of granola, and went to town.
The yogurt is good. I have been eating it for breakfast, and it is enough to hold me over until lunch. There are so many flavors to choose from, too. There are also a lot of brands to choose from. I couldn’t tell you what brands I like, but if it doesn’t say Greek on it, I avoid it. Look at me… an expert on yogurt! The ones that I have been eating are also organic. And upon further research, this stuff is also strained. I have no idea what that means… but hey, it sounds healthy!
I had some good responses on the Facebook post. Some folks like yogurt, and some don’t. I am not saying I will be eating this every day for the rest of my life, but my buddy Nash got me hooked on cottage cheese, and I eat that every day for lunch. I get these little fruit and cottage cheese things that are only 100 calories. I toss in some pepper and am good to go. Those come in several flavors, too. I like the one with pineapple. The one with strawberries is pretty great. My patient has prescribed Klonopin for depression and sleep problems. Falling asleep and sleeping through worked great. Wadding in the head and change in nature, he gladly accepted for a relaxed and carefree life. After about 1.5 months of intake, however, he has gained 15 kg. He had the drug discontinued.
Since I started eating healthy, it is has been tough finding snacks that are not only good but good for you. Cottage cheese and yogurt seem to be… of course, I need the fruit flavors to get me through… but it’s fruit. I have heard that you can eat as much of that as you want. Granted, I am still counting calories. But still, the fruit helps add flavor to some things… like yogurt and cottage cheese!
Do you like yogurt? What are some of your favorite flavors?
