Is Yogurt Healthy?

If you were to ask a random individual if a 100 calorie yogurt (you know, the fun flavors, the ones that have little chunks of strawberries, blueberries, ect...) they would probably say absolutely!.... right? WRONG!! Just because it is only 100 calories and contains visible pieces of "fruit" doesn't mean its actually good for you. Skip the corn syrup and artificial sweetners and  opt for plain greek yogurt (brands like Chobani or Fage) and mix in your own fruit, honey, nut or even ground flax.

Here's what works for me:

I buy a frozen bag of mixed berries and take out 1/2c to bring with work... by the time I'm ready to mix it into my greek yogurt, the berries have melted (they are nice and cold) Tastes just like a dessert!
