Greek yoghurt is not only super tasty and creamy, but 100% sugar free, (read your labels, but, for the most part). It's higher in protein which, with it's rich texture, means it's more satisfying and filling. It doesn't need gelatine or other thickeners because it gets that way naturally through the process used to make it. For carb-haters, it's also lower in carbohydrates.
Down side?
It is lower in calcium than the usual breakfast yogurt suspects, so be sure to make up for that elsewhere.
The full-fat version is also higher in calories (circa 130 calories per 100grams compared to low-fat Vaalia having circa 110 calories), but it is available in a low-fat version which is just as beneficial, and still very yummy.
How do I eat it?
With muesli dotted with honey or maple syrup, (keep it to a minimum, but it's pretty hard to reach the 15% sugar level of many yogurts we usually eat for breakfast)
With fresh or frozen berries mixed through
With chopped up bananas
With grated apple & cinnamon
On baked sweet potatoes with cheese and beans
With potato wedges and sweet chilli sauce
On nachos instead of sour cream
As a topper to pumpkin soup
Make a cheesecake..
Plain!
The list goes on - it is one of the most used items in my fridge.
Give it a go, I promise you'll find a way you like it. It's especially good for yogurt lovers trying to cut down on their sugar intake and it's popular in a lot of weight loss groups.
