Go Greek!

A great reminder of just how easy it is to incorporate healthy, nutrient-packed foods into your everyday meal plan.

Coincidentally, while reading this article, I was satisfying my sweet tooth with a favorite yogurt snack- Greek yogurt topped with a bit of honey and crushed pecans. So, if you're going to have yogurt, why not go Greek? The European version is packed with protein and is significantly lower in sugar, which keeps you fuller longer. The best thing is that you can top it with whatever you like. If you don't care for the honey and pecan combo, try it with some blueberries, granola, or whatever tickles your taste buds.
