Voskos Greek Yogurt Offers High Amounts of Satisfying, Waistline-Friendly
Protein and is Easy to Prepare, Taking Less Than 30 Seconds to Get in Your Bowl
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
At a time of year when families are under pressure to provide nutritious foods
due to the flu season, most are also aware that such foods can cost increased
dollars and meal preparation time. While eating a healthy diet may help the
immune system to function at optimal levels, there is an understandable
reluctance to spend more time or money on food. Knowing about inexpensive yet
nutritious convenient foods is important and Celebrity Nutritionist to Hollywood
clients, Christine Avanti, makes a compelling argument for including Voskos
Greek Yogurt as a year-round fridge staple for the whole family. Now that Voskos
is available nationally, it`s an ideal food choice for family meals, snacks and
for weight management. Voskos can be found in many health food stores, co-op
markets and supermarkets including Whole Foods Market. 

"With Voskos, you`re getting 24 g of protein and it took you less than 30
seconds to get it in your bowl," says Christine Avanti. "All yogurts are not the
same nutritionally. The balance of protein and carbohydrates in Voskos Greek
Yogurt provides an optimal fat-burning base and if you add some more
carbohydrates, such as fresh fruit or berries, you won`t crave those sugary
snacks that ultimately cost you your waistline and your dollars." 24 g of
protein in each serving is more than twice the protein of regular yogurt and
nearly half of the DV recommended for adults and children over 4 years old. 

Favorite recipes using Voskos Greek Yogurt include High Protein Pumpkin Ginger
Pancakes and more can be found at http://voskosgreekyogurt.com/Recipes.html.
According to a tip sheet entitled 25 Healthy Snacks for Kids authored by
American Dietetic Association`s (ADA) staff registered dietitians, low-fat
yogurt is a favorite ingredient in 6 of the 25 recommended healthy snacks. Their
convenient, low-cost breakfast, dessert and snack ideas include:

* Peel a banana and dip it in yogurt. Roll in crushed cereal and freeze. 
* Top yogurt with crunchy granola and sprinkle with blueberries. 
* Toast a whole grain waffle and top with yogurt and sliced peaches. 
* Fill a waffle cone with cut-up fruit and top with yogurt.

About Voskos Greek Yogurt

The straining process used to produce Greek Yogurt allows even non-fat Greek
Yogurt to be thick, creamy and satiating. Voskos Greek Yogurt is all-natural and
is made using only the highest quality hormone free milk and probiotic cultures.
Voskos Greek Yogurt uses five probiotic live and active cultures in its Greek
Yogurts and the combination and balance of these probiotics may allow a daily
serving of Voskos to potentially aid in the regulation of natural intestinal
bacteria. Voskos is the only Greek Yogurt brand to produce both organic and
non-organic yogurts and to produce flavored, pre-stirred non-fat Greek Yogurts.
Voskos retails for between $1.39 and $1.99. Voskos Greek Yogurt is made in
California. For more information, please visit www.voskosgreekyogurt.com.
