Helpful Hints

Watch out for the calories!
Yogurt can be high in fat and calories, especially when sweetened and mixed with the fruit, sugar, and artificial flavors in many of the commercial varieties.  There are low-fat and sugar-free varieties if you are concerned about calories.  Just be sure to read the label for the calorie content, as well as for artificial ingredients, before buying.  And don’t forget to check the expiration date! 

Using low-fat yogurt — plain or homemade — in recipes ensures the health benefits of this wonder food without all of the extra calories.  Low fat yogurt is also an excellent alternative to sour cream or mayonnaise.

IMPORTANT- Yogurt-covered snacks may not be what they seem
Don’t be fooled by so-called “healthy” snack food such as yogurt-covered raisins and nuts.  Their coatings contain only yogurt powder, oil and sugar, and this is hardly healthful!  While the raisins and nuts may be good for you, you are not getting the implied yogurt benefits.  It would be better to make a mix of nuts and raisins and scoop a dollop or two of real yogurt over them!
