A yogurt a day may not mean fewer doctor visits, but there are plenty of health reasons to make this dairy food a regular in your diet. Besides the calcium, potassium and other vitamins – yogurt has live bacteria that helps keep your system working smooth. Because you’re dealing with bacteria – you should seriously consider a natural or organic kind.
I put several to the test – and found two brands really know their yogurt.
Wallaby Organic yogurt boasts a mere 140 calories per cup and an impressive 7 grams of protein. There are several flavors to choose from, and the ingredient list is all natural. No artificial anything or words I couldn’t pronounce. So, this one is a pretty good choice.
If you’re not a dairy fan – try WholeSoy & Co. brand yogurt. This choice has 0 grams of trans fat, but delivers 6 grams of protein. You can definitely tell it’s a soy product, but it had good flavor and texture. A company spokesperson confirmed the eco factor of this product – from where the company gets its ingredients to how the product is packaged and shipped. I consider this a very eco choice.
When you’re choosing food that is meant to be good for you, please consider all factors – not just flavor and cost. A few extra pennies now could save you from health problems later – not to mention how good you’ll fee if you’re eating right.
