Looking for a breakfast with tons of protein, natural sweetness and some of those other good things like antioxidants and disease-fighting nutrients? I know you’ve heard of Greek Yogurt. Maybe you haven’t tried it yet but meant to pick it up at the store. Do yourself a favor and buy some, soon. Greek Yogurt is fantastic in smoothies, as a sour cream substitute, or in a breakfast parfait.
This is my personal favorite – Fage non-fat plain Greek Yogurt. I love it and enjoy it almost everyday. And no, Fage didn’t send me free yogurt to write this post. I am not compensated for this endorsement. If Fage wants to send me some, I won’t send it back (hint-hint).
Why do I love it so much? Check the fine print: 23grams of protein, low in calories and zero fat. I can enjoy a cup of yogurt and feel satisfied for hours. Protein answers the hungry tummy call.
No sugary cereal for me. No muffins or empty calories. If I start the day with plenty of protein, I eat better for the rest of the day and have fewer cravings. And I don’t get that low-blood sugar shaky feeling.
For a simple, delicious breakfast, snack or dessert, layer Greek Yogurt with fresh fruit and nuts.
Add a little extra sweetness with honey or Agave Nectar and enjoy!
Hope you had a fun, romantic and special Valentine’s Day with your sweetie. My husband and I don’t exchange gifts, flowers, chocolate or cards. We wrote a note to each other as a gift. You’ll get no complaints from me!
Have a wonderful Wednesday and don’t work too hard! Thanks so much for stopping by.

This would be a wonderful way to start that day. Protein and all that fruit? Amazing!

This is a great idea! My daughter loves to have granola with fruit on her yogurt in the morning, maybe I will switch her to Greek yogurt! Thanks for sharing.

Aww – thats a lovely Valentines idea!! I also LOVE greek yogurt. I use the non fat kind in dressings and more savoury dishes (on account of the tang!) and the higher fat stuff as dessert and for breakfast. I LOVE it with all fruit jam and oats left to soak overnight!!
