But I don't like yogurt.

Well, get over it. The health benefits provided by yogurt means you need to close your eyes, pinch your nose, and suck it down! Think of it as a daily dose of health! The probiotics, or the "pro-life" bacteria found in this super food provide endless health benefits for you and your digestive system!

To name a few...
  • Protect against infection  
  • Enhance and boost the immune system  
  • Promote and improve digestive health  
  • Alleviate diarrhea caused by antibiotic treatments  
  • Promote urinary and genital health  
  • Assist in the management of inflammation  
  • Help alleviate symptoms of lactose intolerance  
  • Improve some types of eczema in infants and children
  • Reduce cholesterol levels
  • Decrease the risk of certain cancers
Not to mention the studies that have linked yogurt intake to successful weight management!!

Now, if you want to take your yogurt to the next level, you're going to want to GO GREEK!! Its a taste that might take you a while to get used to, but I have the perfect solution!

Fruit Sweetened Greek Yogurt
Ingredients
8oz plain Greek yogurt
1 1/2 packets of Stevia sweetener
1/2 cup fruit of your choice (my favorite: strawberries, blueberries)

Directions
Combine all ingredients. Chill in refrigerator overnight.

The sweetener and fruit will really help the bitter taste, making a really great, sweeter yogurt!!

  1. Yogurt may not be your most favorite dessert in the world, but I am glad you acknowledge the health benefits it has for our body. Despite the fact you have no liking for yogurt, do you still try it in different flavors and with different toppings? Greek yogurts are a little tangy than some, so they might take a while to get used to. But if you try mixing some almonds or cookies in it, I am certain you'll be asking for more. Anyway, the health benefits of yogurt are helpful in improving one's diet and lifestyle at that.
