Greek Yogurt Recipes

By

Greek yogurt recipes are always a handy thing to have on hand. They are usually delicious, have good nutrition and give you a good dose of calcium for the day.

But there are so many ways to use Greek yogurt! It makes a wonderful ingredient, both in cooking and in baking. So today, I’m giving you a simple suggestions for enjoying it as a snack, as well as 15 other recipes that use it as an ingredient!

Greek Yogurt Recipes

Greek yogurt recipes are great for adults, but I also think it’s an often overlooked snack for kids.

I mean, at 22 grams of protein per cup, it’s pretty forgiving on the carb additions. This makes it perfect for kids.

One thing I learned while I was pregnant (I had gestational diabetes), was that healthy carbs are a good thing so long as you pair them with an equal amount of protein. And since Greek Yogurt already has a high protein content, you can pretty much add any naturally sweet addition and have it be a fairly balanced snack.

When I spent a year in Germany as a nanny, I was amazed that I could purchase honey yogurt in the stores like we purchase yogurt with fruit here in the states. Back then, I had never seen this option in California stores. It was such a simple combination, and yet it was so delicious! The kids I took care of ate it for dessert on a regular basis.

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev
