It’s all greek to me

It’s not any secret to anyone that if I could bathe in a vat of oatmeal, I probably would. I love the stuff. My other favorite food shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who knows me reasonably well, either. Yes, that’s right. Greek yogurt. To say that I’ve fully embraced its creamy, divine lusciousness would be an understatement. I love the stuff. Here’s why you should too:

1. Greek Yogurt is (sorry for the cliché) a superfood. It’s so good for you that if it could somehow grow a mouth and beg you to eat it, it probably would. It’s overwhelmingly low in fat, has a buttload of protein, and hardly any calories.

2. It’s blissfully creamy. Whenever I eat it, I tend to just ponder how something with the consistency of sour cream could be so good for me. Ugh. 

3. It’s versatile! You can eat it so many different ways. Go sweet and add some fruit in it, or go savory and use it as the base for a dip. The possibilities are absolutely endless. My favorite way to eat it is plain with a big gob of honey. ’Scuse me while I wipe the drool from my face.

4. It gives you strong bones, a bump-bumpin’ heart, and a squeaky clean digestive system. Who doesn’t want that?

5. All dat protein will make you all muscley and buff. Mmm.

6. My favorite kind of Greek Yogurt is, hands down, Fage. I desperately wish I could have a never-ending supply of the stuff. Few foods make me this happy… But seriously, when I have Fage Greek Yogurt and Honey, I literally feel like the honey is doing cartwheels all the way down my esophagus. And I’m not the only one who feels this way: Nicole from Pinch My Salt agrees that Fage is only the best. And I’m jealous of her free samples.

So anyways, jump on the bandwagon and give this stuff a try. All the cool kids are doing it.
