Yogurt is a great little snack for both adults and children. There are several different flavors and varieties of yogurt in the grocery stores now. There is Greek yogurt, fruit on the bottom, yogurt with nuts/candies on top, etc. Adding yogurt into your diet will ensure you are increasing your calcium and vitamin D intake, especially when topped with extra fruit or nuts. Here are some ways to get yogurt into your daily snack or meal plan:
1. Add fruit or nuts to the top of your yogurt. Nuts help to increase your protein intake and will help keep you full longer. A yogurt parfait is a yummy healthy dessert to satisfy that sweet tooth!
2. Substitute plain yogurt or plain Greek yogurt for sour cream when cooking or adding a topping.
3. Add yogurt to a fruit smoothie!
4. Make yogurt pancakes. This is delicious for anytime of day!
5. Stick a container of yogurt in your freezer for "frozen yogurt" or grab a delicious container of fro- yo at your grocery store.
Surprise the family one day with a tasty yogurt treat!
Enjoy!
