This yogurt might as well be called pudding, because it’s so rich and creamy, you forget you’re eating yogurt and not a dessert. Whatever your preference, opt for the Total Classic (full fat), the Total 2% (low fat), or the Total 0% (zero fat). Then take your pick between plain, honey, or fruit varieties.
Fairway knows how much our customers love FAGE Greek yogurt that we offer all flavors for the Total 2% in our New York stores – plain, strawberry, cherry, peach, blueberry, honey. The plain choice for Total Classic, Total 2%, and Total 0% is great, too, because you could add your own favorite toppings whether it’s a Fairway Label organic jam or even cocoa powder – that’s chocolate decadence right there that you don’t have to feel guilty about.
Naturally rich in protein and low in fat, FAGE and other Greek yogurt is the answer to a morning meal, a healthy snack, or a side. It’s also used to make sauces in Middle Eastern dishes, adding richness to sauces without having to thicken them with heavy cream. Or try to make tzatziki, a Greek recipe that can be used as a dip or dressing. Because Greek yogurt is thick, it doesn’t need to be strained like common yogurt before it’s used for this. So all you have to do is dress your Greek yogurt with grated cucumber, lemon juice, dill, garlic, and salt and pepper, using amounts that you like. Just mix it up, and you have tzatziki.
What’s also unique about Greek yogurt, when compared to regular yogurt, is that it has less carbohydrates because it’s produced using a natural straining technique that removes excess water and dissolves salts and sugars.
Greek yogurt is a fantastic food that is good for you and delicious – what more can you ask for in a dairy product? Try FAGE and go Greek.
