Delicious and Nutritious: A Refreshing Combinaiton

I have discovered yet another wonderful, guilt-free treat to share with you: Liberte Greek Yogurt in lemon. (Bonus: Last week, it was on sale at my local Kroger: 10 for $10. Unfortunately, I only bought one in case I didn't like it...But I wish I had bought ten. Or twenty.)

What's so good about it?

It's Delicious...

1. It tastes delectable. This yogurt offers a very refreshing, lemony taste great for spring and summer. It's sweet, but not too sweet (I can't stand overly-sweet yogurt). The flavor is the perfect pairing of lemon tartness and light sweetness. To be honest, you could probably eat this as a dessert and feel like your sweet tooth is satisfied.

2. The texture is perfect. The yogurt is fairly light in texture, and is full of tiny pieces of actual lemon, giving it a texture similar to that of orange juice with pulp in it (though, obviously, not as fluid). I chew yogurt regardless of its texture (I also chew pudding, jell-o, and ice cream...), but I especially like yogurt that actually requires just a little bit of chewing, and because the tiny lemon pieces give this yogurt some substance, I feel justified in my chewing.

...And Nutritious

1. It's fat-free.

2. It provides 11 grams of protein.

3. It provides 10% of your recommended daily intake for calcium.

4. It boasts just 140 calories (none of which are from fat; see #1).

Fast Fitness Tip: Don't eat too fast. Many of us eat so quickly, that our brains and stomachs do not even have enough time to realize we are full. To help yourself eat more slowly--and thus give your body time to realize when it has had enough--try reading during meal times. If that is not an option, try making sure to consciously put your fork (or spoon) down after every bite or two, forcing yourself to take a small break between bites. In addition, sitting up straight at the dinner table can help you feel when you are full.
