Food of the Month: Greek Yoghurt

Low fat Greek yoghurt. 

I cannot get enough of this stuff. By itself nothing to particularly write home about, but combined with a dash of honey (or agave nectar for those following low-GI diets) and a little handful of fresh or frozen berries, and you've got yourself a little dollop of heaven. 

Here's the skinny-

Per 100g:

68kcal

3.5g fat (2.3g saturated)

5.1g carbohydrate (3.4g sugar)

4g Protein

That looks pretty good to me! If you can buy the 0% fat version ('total' is a good brand) then so much the better, but it can be a bit on the pricey side. I buy this stuff in my local shop by the kilo for less than £2.

A high protein, low-sugar, low-fat dessert? Amazing. 

What else can you use it for? See my recipe for banana and cinnamon muffins (it makes them oh so moist), atop of banana pancakes (been having a lot of bananas this month...), with cereal, in fruit or green smoothies, or simply as is with a whizzle of honey as mentioned above. 

Move over ice cream - we're going Greek.
