Recipes
Nutrish That's Delish
One serving of yogurt contains many of the essential nutrients your body needs. From A to zinc, these vitamins and minerals help to build strong bones and teeth, develop and repair muscles, generate energy and keep your immune system working properly.
A Probiotic Power Up
Yogurt is a probiotic food, meaning that it is proven to have health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. In addition to improved digestion and reduced inflammation, eating yogurt has also been linked to overall heart health, lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.
For More Than Mornings
Think you can only enjoy yogurt as a morning meal? Think again! While a bowl of yogurt topped with fruit and granola is always welcome at our table, this versatile ingredient can also be used to make delicious dips, soups, marinades, sauces and salad dressings. In a pinch, yogurt also makes a great swap for sour cream!
A Little About Lactose
Lactose intolerance may lead some individuals to avoid or reduce dairy food consumption. Fortunately, the fermenting process of yogurt helps to reduce lactose, which may make it easier to digest. Greek- and Icelandic-style yogurts have even less lactose thanks to their unique straining process.
Old as Time
It is estimated that people have been eating yogurt for over 10,000 years! Lucky for us though, it is now offered in a wide variety of fun flavors and styles.
Want to be Strong?
Try Greek yogurt! It packs double the protein of its traditional counterpart.
