It figures

I don't eat before I go running in the morning, so when I get back, I'm always hungry. This has been my favorite post-run meal of late: plain greek yogurt, honey, granola and fresh fruit.

Last week, I bought a new brand of greek yogurt, and after the first bite, declared it to be better than ice cream. I devoured the entire carton within a few days, and was forced to make an extra trip to the store to buy more. When I returned with the new carton, I noticed that the packaging was blue instead of green...

It wasn't long before I figured out that the first carton had been full-fat greek yogurt, whereas the new carton was my regular non-fat version. No wonder it had been so good! At 130 calories and 11 grams of fat per serving, it practically was ice cream.

Leave it to me to find a way to eat dessert for breakfast.

    I know! Full fat Greek or non-Greek yogurt is the Bomb! LOVE IT. This is why I gained weight when I went to Greece! I absolutely can't eat the fat free, I compromise with the 2%, but dream of the full fat. :)

    The honey Greek Gods yogurt is what they serve in heaven, I know it is. I sacrifice my pasteurized dairy sensitivity to it whenever I can!

    This is a great example that ignorance is bliss.
