How to Choose the Best Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is high in protein and healthy fats, making it the perfect option for filling meals and snacks. Just 3/4 cup of whole Greek yogurt provides 6 grams of protein and 7 grams of fat.
Health benefits of Greek yogurt include:
improved bone health with vitamin D and calcium
improved gut health and probiotics
supported mental health with vitamin B12 and probiotics
may help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes
My favorite brand of Greek yogurt is Stonyfield’s Organic Probiotic Yogurt (whole milk and plain.) It is USDA organic, non-GMO, high in vitamin D and calcium, and contains billions of gut-healthy probiotics. You can find this brand at your local grocery store.
When shopping for Greek yogurt, look for:
whole milk: low fat options often include added sugar, and you want the healthy fats that come with it!
plain: choose one that has no added flavoring
no added sugar: add your own natural sweeteners to yogurt, such as honey, maple syrup, or whole fruit
A Great Meal Prep Option for Breakfast and Snacks
This recipe is the perfect quick and easy meal prep recipe for busy mornings or when you need a healthy snack. Choose a container that has two compartments so that you can keep your yogurt and muesli separate until you are ready to eat. I really like these containers.
How to Make this Parfait
Ingredients:
1½ cup plain, whole milk Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup strawberries, cut in halves
2 teaspoons local honey
½ cup easy muesli
Directions:
In a bowl, combine the Greek Yogurt and real vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Using two serving bowls, divide the Greek Yogurt, then top with ½ cup strawberries, ¼ cup muesli, and a drizzle of honey in each bowl.
Serve immediately.

If you will not be eating right away, keep the muesli separate and add right before serving.
