Notes and Tips When Buying Yogurt…

  • Most yogurts contain too much sugar along with additives, corn syrup, and other chemicals such as aspartame.
  •  So with that said,  it’s important to “read labels” before buying any brand of Greek yogurt and find the ones that clearly state “all-natural” and contains the lowest amount of sugar.
  • Also, we discovered the “plain yogurts” (non-flavored) are the ones that contain the lowest amount of sugar. And, therefore, adding in your own sweetness, allows you to control the amount of sugar intake (and to your liking).
  • Fresh berries and bananas are wonderful to add, as they provide enough sweetness needed to balance the yogurt.
