Cracking the Yogurt Code: Don’t Get Li(f)ted by Fancy Labels!

Hi Team! Our recent Grocery Store videos (link below this post) have raised some questions regarding making the best choice when shopping for your home, so I decided to create a blog addressing each one.

To begin, let’s talk yogurt. That creamy deliciousness that can be a healthy snack hero or a sugar-coated villain. But no worries, we’re here to help you make the right decision!

First rule: Ditch the neon colors and cartoon characters. They’re there to distract you from the real star: the NUTRITION LABEL!

Here’s what to look for:

  • Sugar: Less is more! Aim for “no added sugar” or under 10g per serving. ❌
  • Live cultures: These little guys are your gut’s BFFs, so look for “live active cultures”.
  • Protein: Aim for 10-20g per serving. Greek yogurt is your friend here, but don’t forget the Icelandic and Aussie options!
  • Fat: Choose low-fat (2%) or fat-free if you’re watching calories, but full-fat can offer satiety and some vitamins. ⚖️

Bonus tip: Plain yogurt is your blank canvas! Add fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or spices for a flavor fiesta.

Remember, healthy eating shouldn’t be a chore, so have fun exploring! And if you want someone else to handle the shopping and cooking for the week, give us a call!
