Weight Loss Yogurt

weight loss yogurt
Can anyone tell me recipes using greek yogurt (healthy and for weight loss preferably)?

Is greek yogurt healthy ? Should one consume it if he is tryign to lose weight ?
In how much quantity ?

People who consume 3 or more servings of low fat dairy daily lose more weight than those who don’t. A serving of yogurt or milk is 8 oz. Here are a couple of recipes to use greek yogurt..

**Banana-Papaya Smoothie**

1 cup milk (1% or skim)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 small ripe banana, peeled and sliced
1/2 large, ripe papaya, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 cup ice cubes

Combine the milk, yogurt, vanilla, banana, papaya and ice cubes in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a large glass.

**Greek Yogurt with Fig, Date, and Honey Swirl**

1/4 cup walnuts
1/4 cup almonds
1/4 cup pine nuts
6 figs, fresh or dried, cut into quarters
6 dates, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup water
1 lemon, juiced
1 cinnamon stick
2 cups Greek yogurt*
Mint leaves for garnish

*Cook’s note: Greek yogurt is thicker and less sour than plain yogurt. If you can’t find Greek yogurt, drain regular yogurt, refrigerated, overnight through cheesecloth.
Toast the nuts in a saute pan over medium heat until they become fragrant. Put the nuts onto a plate and set aside; when cool enough to handle, chop them roughly.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the figs, dates, honey, water, lemon juice, and cinnamon stick. Cook for about 10 minutes until fruit is soft. Set aside and let it cool slightly; remove the cinnamon stick. Place the yogurt in a big bowl. Spoon the warm fruit onto the yogurt and gently swirl the fruit through the yogurt. Sprinkle on the nuts and garnish with mint leaves. Serve immediately.
