Benefits of Greek Yogurt

Greek Yogurt vs Ordinary Yogurt
 

Ordinary Yogurt
  • Greek yogurts are high in protein. People sometimes call Greek yogurt a protein powerhouse since the protein content is concentrated. The ordinary American yogurt has a protein content of 5grams in average while Greek yogurts can reach even up to 20grams! Imagine how much more energy we can get from this yogurt.
  • Better texture. Since in the process of fermentation liquid whey is removed, Greek yogurt becomes thicker and smoother making it more decadent to eat. This yogurt just tastes too good to be true.
  • Versatility in Use. Aside from the ordinary use of yogurt as a substitute for milk, Greek yogurt, because of its texture and taste can be used for cooking or baking, or even as a dip. It even is easier on the stomach to digest since it has less lactose and less carbs. Whether you want the yogurt to be on top of a chicken kebab or you just want to eat it straight out of the container, Greek yogurt, is just simply one of the best things in dairy product history.

Greek Yogurt Brands and Nutrition Facts

If you try to talk to someone who works in a store, Greek yogurts are early morning hits. People are now there at the time the store opens and flock to the yogurt shelves and grab a basketful. There are different brands of Greek yogurt out there, each of which has varying nutritional values. Nutrition values like protein, calories, and carbohydrates differ with each Greek yogurt brand. The best choice would be the one with high protein. If you enjoy the taste of one with lower protein do not feel that you only should enjoy the high protein selection. They are all the same Greek yogurt after all.
God Bless!
