What is Greek Yogurt?

If you are anything like me, you’re probably wondering, what is Greek Yogurt? How does it taste? Is it any different than regular yogurt? What’s all the buzz about? Greek yogurt is the hottest new health food trend. Primarily, because of the great health benefits including probiotics and a high protein count. Greek yogurt is a dairy food that has been filtered out to remove the whey, which gives it a consistency between regular yogurt and cheese. I recently bought some to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised by the nutrition facts. Cal: 140, Fat: 0, Sodium: 50mg, Potassium: 150mg, Carb: 20g, Fiber: 0, Protein: 14g. However, I was not happy with the taste…it was…GROSS! Yuck, it had the consitency of full fat sour cream, and tasted like sour cream mixed with fruit. I do realize that I can be a picky eater when it comes to food texture. So, please try it for yourself. Maybe I’m just weird. Does anyone actually like it? Let me know.
