Yogurt is a healthy choice regardless of whether you choose Greek yogurt or regular yogurt. Greek yogurt has surged in popularity in recent years and with some good reasons. What differentiates Greek yogurt from the regular yogurt is that Greek yogurt has been strained to remove the whey. As a result, Greek yogurt has a creamier, thicker texture and rich flavor. In addition, the removal of whey results in a healthier yogurt with less sugar, less sodium and more than twice the amount of protein than the regular yogurt. So Greek yogurt is high in protein, vitamin B12, yet low in sugar and lactose. This also promote a healthy digestive system.
