Yogurt Lovers: Go Greek!

Greek yogurt is a great snack or breakfast option; FAGE is my favorite brand. This all-natural delicious delight is packed with protein (double the amount of normal yogurt), healthy carbohydrates, probiotics and calcium. FAGE Greek yogurt is gluten-free which makes it easy to digest as well as diabetic friendly. Most store brand yogurts are packed with horrible chemicals and high-fructose corn syrup. High-fructose corn syrup increases your levels of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates your appetite and makes you crave more fake, highly processed junk foods.

Why? Quinoa has the highest nutritional profile of all grains and contains all eight amino acids making it a complete protein. It’s LOADED with B vitamins, potassium, calcium & vitamin E. Quinoa is gluten-free making it easy to digest as well as an ideal food for endurance keeping you fuller and more satisfied throughout the day! Not to mention packed with fiber! Quinoa’s delish nutty flavor is an added bonus!
