It seems like once every year or so, a new healthy food comes out that no one has really heard of or used much &suddenly, it’s everywhere. Usually it’s because that food really has some great benefits, and that’s certainly the case with the recent popularity of Greek yogurt!
-Greek Yogurt contains 15-20 grams of protein per 6-ounce serving- about the same as 2 to 3 ounces of lean meat. {As someone who rarely eats meat, I definitely appreciate this.}
-It contains about half the amount of sodium as “regular” yogurt at about 50mg per serving. It also contains about half the amount of carbohydrates at about 5 to 8 grams per serving {compared to about 13 to 17 grams for “regular”}.
-Greek Yogurt is great as a healthier alternative to many common ingredients. Try using it in place of sour cream or even instead of using eggs in baking!
You may have already discovered the benefits of Greek yogurt, and if you have, you know it’s got a bit of a different consistency than the traditional variety. &If you have a picky eater like I do, you know that means that your tot won’t be seeing any of the amazing health benefits that Greek yogurt has. &Luckily, that’s not necessarily true.
Stonyfield {one of my favorite food companies ever- both because of their yummy products & their business practices} has recently come out with an addition to their popular YoKids line. It’s- you guessed it- YoKids Greek!
As the only Greek yogurt available for kids, the new YoKids Greek yogurt is available in both raspberry & strawberry and both are organic & lowfat! Each 1-container serving {which is 106g, or roughly 3.7 oz.} is 100 calories, only 1g {2%} of Total Fat, contains 290mg {8%} of Potassium, and packs 6g {12%} of Protein & 20% of your daily amount of both Calcium &Vitamin D! That’s a lot of goodness for one little container!
&All of that is well and good, but the ultimate test of course lies with the toddler or kid that you’re trying to get to eat it. And, despite Shane being a very picky eater, he LOVES it! We tried the Strawberry variety & as soon as he had finished his container, he was already asking for another. He has always loved yogurt but I’ve tried giving him Greek yogurt before without success, so I’m happy to finally have a variety of it that he likes!
I’m not sure if it’s the kid-friendly consistency or the yummy flavor that he went for, but Shane can’t get enough. &Even though it’s geared toward kids, I love it, too!
Buy It: Stonyfield products are available at several grocery stores as well as natural food stores nationwide. Check the store finder to locate it near you!

Last Day! 
My kids love all three ‘Yo’ lines! I think it’s fantastic Stoneyfield has released a higher protein product. The ‘YoBaby’ was a staple food for my babies from 4 months on because I knew they’d get a couple grams of protein from it
I’d love to try the Oikos organic Greek yogurt!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
