The first time I tried Greek Yogurt, all I could think was who eats this chalky stuff? I was completely turned off by both the taste and texture. Greek yogurt has come along way, and the health benefits are undeniable.  I eat Greek Yogurt every. single. day; it’s become an indulgent treat for me.

  1. Packed with protein, Greek Yogurt is a wonderful breakfast or post workout snack. Protein is vital for building muscle and tissue repair. As we age, we need more protein to keep our skin healthy and immune system strong. Greek Yogurt is an excellent non-meat source of protein.
  2. Give your brain a boost with B12; Greek Yogurt is an excellent source of the vitamin that helps with energy and vital brain function.
  3. Helps with belly fat. Calcium is important to overall health and weight loss. Calcium aids in reducing cortisol levels which can cause the body to store fat, especially in your mid section.
  4. Keeps your Thyroid happy. Iodine is important for  proper thyroid function and regulating your metabolism. A healthy endocrine system is vital to being fit.
  5. Greek Yogurt is high in potassium, which helps to balance out sodium in the body.
