Did you know greek yogurt makes a delicious dessert?

Greek yogurt is often referred to as one of the top ten healthiest foods. It is loaded with health benefits and has 130 calories for a four ounce serving. It is known for its thick and creamy texture which is achieved by straining out the liquid whey. Plain greek yogurt has a tangy flavor that can be used for cooking or eaten alone but I like it for an alternative dessert. Greek yogurt is an excellent sources of calcium, potassium, protein, zinc, and vitamins B6 and B12. In addition, it  contains probiotic cultures, is lower in lactose, and has twice the protein content of regular yogurts. Selecting plain Greek yogurt cuts down on sugar that is found in most flavored yogurts and it is a more versatile ingredient.
