Yogurt Beware!
You always hear about how healthy yogurt is and as a parent I always felt good about packing it in my son's lunch box. After some thought I began to wonder what is in that yogurt besides the yogurt? If it is marketed towards kids you can bet that there is a lot of sugar! Maybe more sugar than yogurt.
Greek yogurt is a great source of protein. Paired with fruit and maybe some agave syrup or honey would sweeten up the snack without adding unnecessary sugar. Check labels and know that the less items mentioned as ingredients, probably the better!
The big misconception is that "low fat" yogurt is better but in place of the fat they add sugar. The other thing is that the fat in yogurt helps to absorb some of the vitamins in the milk. I have enjoyed goat milk yogurt of late.
