Low fat plain yogurt is one of the healthiest options. The flavoured varieties of yogurt often have a lot of extra sugar added, and why bother when you can add your own fruit! If you haven't yet acquired a taste for plain yogurt and find it a bit sour, try adding some all natural maple syrup for sweetness. I have found that sometimes you have to try a few different brands of the plain yogurt to find one you like because they all taste a little different.
Also, a healthy source of protein and an easy quick snack is Greek Yogurt, you can do all the same additions as with regular yogurt, but its a bit more substantial.
If you have lactose sensitivities yogurt can be a great alternative for some people. And of course, if you are taking antibiotics, yogurt is an excellent way to restore all those healthy bacteria in your digestive system.
Hello - I have been eating plain Balkan yogurt for years piled with fresh fruit and a drizzle of the best local honey you can buy. Sprinkle it with any grains or seeds. Geri
