Parker’s Breakdown: Greek Yogurt

In the realm of nutritious foods, few items stand out quite like Greek yogurt. Known for its rich taste and versatile uses, it packs a powerful punch of health benefits that are hard to ignore.

Greek yogurt is a strained yogurt variety that undergoes a process to remove whey, resulting in a thicker, creamier texture compared to regular yogurt. This straining process also concentrates its nutrients, making it a dense source of essential vitamins, minerals, and probiotics.

Greek yogurt is a staple item for all my diets and here’s why:

• Protein - Greek yogurt is renowned for its high protein content, getting 15-20 grams per 100 calorie serving

• Probiotic - Greek yogurt also contains live and active cultures, such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, which contribute to a healthy gut microbiome.

• Calcium Source - Greek yogurt is very high in calcium

• Low calorie

There are really no down sides to greek yogurt and it is super easy to incorporate into your diet. Put in a smoothie, make a bowl with fruit and honey, use it as a dip, or replace your recipes that include sour cream with greek yogurt. The possibilities with greek yogurt really are endless.

Make this a staple in your diet and watch yourself shred fat and pack on muscle. Hope this helps!
