You may know that Greek yogurt is thick, but how does it get that way? Traditional Greek yogurt is strained to remove its whey, resulting in its thick consistency. We now carry Greek-style yogurt from Cabot Creamery, a farmer-owned co-op in based in Vermont. Cabot shared these benefits of their Greek-style yogurt:
1. Cabot Greek-style yogurt provides an easy and delicious way to add more protein and essential nutrients to your diet. With twice the protein of regular yogurt, it can be enjoyed as-is or substituted in recipes.
2. Eating protein-rich food like Greek yogurt not only contributes to your overall health, but also helps keep you feeling fuller longer and more satisfied after a meal.
3. Protein plays many important roles in your body, making it essential for good health, and is the foundation of healthy muscles, eyes, skin, and hair.
4. Cabot Greek-style yogurt is an excellent source of Vitamin D, which helps your body absorb calcium. Both are key nutrients in building and maintaining strong bones.
5. Use Greek-style yogurt in your favorite baking recipe to improve flavor and
reduce calories. Try our Substitution Guide to learn more about using Greek-style yogurt in place of higher-calorie, higher-fat ingredients.
