Good morning, welcome to our series sharing Food Holidays: November 9th, 2021. Did you know today is National Greek Yogurt Day which I don’t eat but David does and I think if Charlie was to try it he might as well. How about you do you eat Greek Yogurt if so how?
Five facts about Greek Yogurt
- Greek Yogurt is actually Turkish.
2. Greek Yogurt happened on accident: primitive Milk storage created Yogurt.
3. Yogurt contains high amounts of Lactic Acid which is good for our skin!
4. Greek Yogurt is gaining in popularity. Did you know more than a third of the Yogurt carried by grocery stores is Greek Yogurt.
5. Yogurt contains “good bacteria” which promotes healthy digestion and supports your immune system!
November 9th, what better day to celebrate National Greek Yogurt Day? Once upon a time, Greek Yogurt was disliked by most but recently, Greek Yogurt has been rising in popularity. Did you know Greek Yogurt is a healthy protein packed food that has many benefits. Including high protein content that helps aid in staying full longer. Greek Yogurt is also packed with Probiotics that aid in the Digestive System to keep things flowing smoothly. Vitamins B12 and Calcium, which have their own significant benefit, are found in Greek Yogurt.
Some people have a hard time eating Greek Yogurt because of the texture that Greek Yogurt has. The best way to move past this, is to change the form of the way you’re eating Greek Yogurt! Add Greek Yogurt to a recipe that you’d never be able to tell the difference but still gain all the benefits from the food.
My favorite way to mask the texture of Greek Yogurt and still reap the benefits is using Greek Yogurt to prepare Pancakes! Let me tell you using Greek Yogurt in Pancakes is life changing. The best way to describe these pancakes are “soft and lightly sweet.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
