Regular yogurt have around 6 grams of protein per serving,
but Greek yogurts can have up to 17 grams per serving. This makes it a great
source of protein and it can be the protein source for your meal. Protein helps
contribute to feelings of satiety after a meal, so it’s important to always
have protein at a meal
Some yogurts have a lot of added sugar, often listed as
various names such as sugar, cane sugar, fruit juice, juice concentrate, and
honey. Plain yogurts, while they do contain the sugar naturally found in milk
called lactose, they do not have any added sugars. You can add your own fresh
or frozen fruit to yogurt for a sweeter treat.
Yogurts with live and active cultures contain probiotics. These
are bacterial species that are good for health and can help promote adequate
quantities of good bacteria so bad bacteria can’t flourish too much. Look for a package that says "live and active cultures" or lists the bacterial species in the ingredients.
Yogurt contains calcium, which we need for our bone health. Regular yogurt actually has more calcium than Greek yogurt, because some
calcium is lost when the whey is strained out to turn regular yogurt into Greek
yogurt.
I always wait until the expiry date before eating yogurt because it grows more bacteria the longer it sits. And when it's like months past the due date and it tastes like a box of Cheerios that has been rescued from a septic tank, all the better! The more bacteria, the smellier it gets!
ReplyDeleteYogurt can be safely eaten within at least 3 weeks of when it is made, as long as it was made with safe food handling practices.
