One food I never miss to buy while grocery shopping is Greek Yogurt! When I talk about this tasty food , I am not referring to any presweetened , flavored , fruits added , I am definitely referring to plain Greek yogurt . I usually buy the   Rachels Organic  and add  own favorite fruits , like berries and nuts . Do not forget that yogurt is a source of sugar ( 9 grams vs 15 grams , respectively for Greek and Regular yogurts )  So be very careful when consuming :

• Not to add more sugar! Do not buy the sweet and flavored!
• Be careful with the quantity you consume! Too much of a good thing can turn bad!
• Consume organic , low fat Greek Yougort !

In Qatar you can buy from several places ! Lulu Hypermarket , Spinney’s and sometimes in Carefour.

Having said that I am listing a number of benefits for Greek yougort

• The Power of Protein

Protein is essential for good health. It is vital to cell growth, building muscle, and repairing tissue.

• Low in Carbohydrates & lactose

Regular yogurts have 15 to 17 grams of carbohydrates per cup, where Greek yogurt averages around 9 grams. Also it has less lactose and it is easier to digest.

• Probiotics Keep You Regular

These bacteria microbes may help to improve digestive function and the immune system, and may also help reduce side effects of antibiotic treatments.

• Full of Vitamin B12

Greek yogurt offers a natural alternative of B12 supplements.

• Calcium and Potassium rich

Comparing to regular yogurt, Greek yogurt has less calcium less , yet for every 170 gram consists of 150 mg calcium.  Not only that, this healthy snack, being low in sodium, it is also high in potassium.

• Assists in Weight Reduction

170 grams of Greek yogurt (a cup) will make you feel fuller than 170 grams of clear soup. Even if you eat exactly the same amount of each, Greek yogurt simply feels more filling than soup, so you eat less!
