Trader Joe's Goes Greek
As much as I try to stay on schedule, there are mornings when I am
running late or don't feel like making something, so I need something
quick. What's my go to? Trader Joe's Greek yogurt. I have had other
brands of Greek yogurt, but the Trader Joe's version seems to have more
choices in the flavor department. The
consistency is a bit thicker, creamier, and not as runny. It also seems
that on a calorie comparison basis you get to eat more of the Greek
yogurt than in the regular yogurt. Though I am not a medical
professional (nor am I offering medical
advice), I have heard that it is better for you than regular yogurt. I
have never seen it in flavors other than some kind of fruit, plain, or
with honey. I decided that I would give some of them and try. I ended up
with blueberry, honey, pumpkin, and
apricot mango. The honey was light and not overly sweet, with just a
subtle honey note. (The traditional way is to eat it with honey.) The
blueberry had real fruit in it and the pumpkin had a surprise spice
flavor to it, with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. The apricot mango (was
sadly not nonfat) also had fruit pieces and it definitely had a richer
texture. The great thing about all these is that they don't taste at all
artificial and make a great snack as well. So on your next trip to
Trader Joe's make sure that you pick up some of their delicious Greek
yogurt.
