Greek Yogurt: 10 Ways to get Obsessed

Ummm TDF!

10 Reasons why you should GET OBSESSED! (some of these are ridiculous, yes.)

#1 ZERO FAT has never been this sexy!!: Granted you make sure that it’s the 0% Fat Greek Yogurt?! YES! Mam that’s 0% fat!

#2  Move over sour cream, dude, you’re old news: The Greeks hooked us up with a new non-fat alternative that any typical jock-on-the-street would think is full fatty sour cream.

#3 Sexy nails, skin, hair? Umm yes!!: Consume more foods with calcium and protein and you will be looking sexier by the minute. You can try to keep it sexy on the outside, but we all know sexy starts on the inside.

#4 It sits well on my hips: My friends worry that it’s the only thing that I eat. Well, that may be true girls, but I know that my bum still fits in my 27″ jeans… so it’s deelish on the lips and light on the hips.. mmm I’m gunna go grab some now!

#5 It kills the cravings!: You know those nasty lil cravings you get for “fro yo” (full of sugar!!) or creamy, dreamy Ben and Jerry’s?? (full of fatttt!) Kill that naughty craving with 2 scoops of Gre-yog + peaches + honey + candies walnuts.

#6 Sweet + Savory!: I use Greek yog in all of my sweet and savory recipes! Mix into your hummus, guacamole, skinny onion + chive dip, with miso paste for an “Asian inspired dip,” fold into cucumbers + fresh dill + lemon+ sea salt for an uber delish Greek inspired cucumber salad! etc so skinny on the hips but delish on the lips.

#7 Guiltless: Who wants to have post OMGFDIJEAOT!? aka: OMFG did I just eat all of that syndrome again?? Yes! Make sure you keep it guiltless! Guiltless means happiness and happiness means smiles, and with all that calcium you should be smiling!

#8 Dollup it:A dollup in your creamy soups, on top of your tacos, on your chili and even in your gazpacho soup this summer? Um yesss! It adds great flavor without all those rancid calories and its also perfectly, aesthetically pleasing.

#9 Happy Tummy: Not only will high-protein, calcium laden Gre-yog keep you lean +lovely?? Yogurt contains natural live active cultures that make for a very happy tummy, those live active cultures are “friendly” bacteria that aid in digestion and help with immunity + help aid in lactose intolerance (holllaaa!) and also may help lower, yes lower cholesterol! Mhmmm werd up to that!

#10 Lonely??: For all you gorgeous, single girls? Nothing says I love you more than a scoop of Gre-yog on a Saturday night with PJ’s+ Couch + Gre-yog + some maple + blackberries + toasted slivered almonds + cinnamon. As a single lady, this will take the place of any boyfriend. Best of all? It will serenade you, it will make you say mmmmm.  No whining, no need to do dishes and no ESPN-trapped-boyfriend nights in!

Now, can I get a heck yeaaahhh!? what’s your favorite reason? Mine? #10? duh? xx ck
