Greek Yogurt

Yogurt is ideal for a snack, or a healthy option when you're craving sweets. Sometimes I get bored with the same old yogurt, so I recently tried Greek yogurt. It has a thicker texture than traditional yogurt, and a slightly stronger taste. Greek yogurt is still low in saturated fat (the bad fat), and has about twice the protein of regular yogurt. Greek yogurt is lower in calcium, but at 15% of your daily value, it is still a good source. 
The extra protein can help you stay full longer, and it is great for a post-workout snack. After exercising, eat a combination of carbohydrates and protein to help your body re-fuel and build muscle.
