Healthy Lifestyle Tip ~ Looking for a Quick, Healthy Breakfast?

Greek Yogurt is a Great Pick for a Quick Breakfast

Greek yogurt is made by straining whey and other liquid from milk curds, which produces a creamy product higher in protein than regular yogurt. It’s also lower in calories than many other protein sources. A 1-cup (245-gram) serving provides 25 grams of protein but only 149 calories.

Other nutrients in Greek yogurt include:

• calcium
• vitamin B12
• zinc
• potassium
• phosphorus

Certain types containTrusted Source probiotics like Bifidobacteria, which support digestion. To ensure your yogurt contains probiotics, look for the phrase “contains live and active cultures” on the label. If you prefer an even creamier, higher protein product, Icelandic yogurt — known as skyr — is another great option. Eating Greek yogurt with berries and other fruits may add to its prebiotic or probiotic properties. Topping with dried fruit, oatmeal, or nuts can add texture, fiber, and other nutrients.
