Hey. this is great. I use the prepared greek yogurt with the fruit. As soon as I am finished with my stock. I will just go back to plain greek and sugar free preserves or jelly. Cheaper, and makes so much more sense. I never thought of lemon or lime juice. Thanks so much. Sometimes I was adding some fat free ricotta cheese to it.

I love Greek yogurt blended with 1 oz. lemon or lime juice, Splenda, fruit chunks, and a sprinkle of cruchy cereal on top. Yummy!

Of course, non-fat, plain Greek yogurt (my fav - Fage 0% - Costco quart size is the same price of the pint at my Trader Joe's) mixed w raspberries (can be frozen), stevia or agave, raw sunflower seeds, & a little healthful, high-fiber cereal is a treat any time of day or night!

Yogurt Improves Digestion

Foods that contain healthy bacteria, such as many types of yogurt, are called "probiotic." They can improve digestion and also may help you control your blood sugar.

Your best choice is plain yogurt or light yogurt without added sugar. Fage 0% Plain Greek Yogurt is the lowest in sugar that I found...add berries to sweeten.

Unleash the power of Greek Yogurt

Use greek yogurt (which is fat free and high in protein) in place of cream, mayonnaise, and sour cream when you cook. Mix plain greek yogurt with ranch seasoning to enjoy fat free dip, and add a little skim milk to make a ranch dressing. It can be added to soups, sauces, dips, and drinks to add a little creaminess without the fat.
