18 Reasons to Eat Yogurt

By: Lynn Grieger

Yogurt tastes great any time of the day!

  • Sprinkle flavored yogurt with sunflower seeds, chopped nuts or wheat germ for a pleasant crunch.
  • Add chopped fresh fruit to plain yogurt. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup to satisfy your sweet tooth.
  • Top low-fat granola cereal with yogurt instead of milk for a delicious breakfast or afternoon snack.
  • Pack yogurt in lunch containers for a great noontime treat.
  • Use nonfat plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise or sour cream in dressings and salads. For a creamier texture, drain the yogurt overnight in a coffee filter over a measuring cup. The leftover liquid can be used in breads, soups, or sauces.
  • Use plain nonfat yogurt to top microwave chicken or fish for a moist and flavorful entree.
  • Layer vanilla yogurt with fresh fruit for a delicious dessert.
