I have been doing Jenny Craig for years off and on. I have a problem with eating fruits and veggies (I love them); the problem is, that I don't want to take the time. Laziness! I wish they had a fast food healthy drive through. I would like to drive up and get my fruits and veggies for the day and know that they are fresh and healthy.
I have started doing some small things that are big to me! My husband Greg alway get yoplait at costco for my snacks. Well, at our last meltdown Robert talked about the quality of food. He talked about the differnce in some of the things that we eat (like yogart); he mentioned that yoplait isn't a good quality of yogart (I never thought about it). The Boyz started talking about Greek yogart(?) and how good it was. So I thought I would find out what they were talking about.
I went to Safeway this morning to get my snacks (yogart, strawberries, salad, and string cheese) and thought it would be a great oppertunity to see what the buzz about the yogart was. I got some "Chobani" greek yogart and WOW. The smooth creamy texture was fantastic and it taste good! So the yogart passed the 1st test and now it is time to check the label and compare.
Yoplait Light Blueberry 6 oz.
(with aspartame & other sweetners and stuff - gluten free)
Calories 100 -- Sodium 85mg - Fat0 - carbs 19g - sugar 14g - protein 5g
This yoplait has artificail sweetners and 14g of sugar
"Chobani" greek yogart 6 oz.
(with aspartame & other sweetners and stuff - gluten free)
Calories 140 -- Sodium 80mg - Fat0 - carbs 20g - sugar 19g - protein 14g
So I found a new yogart! And I feel good about my choice. I am also try some different salts (sea salt and kosher salt).
Oh ya! I had a GREAT Workout with everyone on Wednesday!!

Tracy,
ReplyDeleteGreek yogurt is sooo yummy! I alternate between Chobani and Oikos (http://www.stonyfield.com/oikos/index.jsp), which ever I spot first when I'm shopping.
Looking forward to Yoga and Meltdown class tomorrow. See you there :)
We are what we eat.

We really are what we eat.
ReplyDeleteIf you go to Trader Joe's, I go to the one in Tanasbourne, they have a great selection of greek yogurt. Very yummy! It's great for a desert at the end of the day, like a small and healthy reward.
It's NOT expensive, either!
