As you may or may not know, I usually start my day with a breakfast of green/herbal tea and plain yogurt with nuts or seeds and honey. I buy full fat yogurt because I prefer the creamy texture, and I can’t believe fats from healthy foods are bad for you. I don’t scarf back McDonald’s (lately) or potato chips (since I ran out), but I do indulge in 10% M.F. Liberté yogurt. SO GOOD.
But, I think my 10% M.F. days may be over, thanks to Galen Weston Jr. and the President’s Choice kitchens.
Hello, 0% M.F. Greek Yogurt! It’s only $3.99 per large tub (compared to $4.99 or so for Liberté), and comes in a few flavours. They were all sold out when I was last at Loblaws, but I don’t really like pre-flavoured yogurt anyway; I would much rather buy the plain and doctor it up myself. (Also because I use yogurt to make rosé sauce for pasta, raita for dals and curries, tzatziki for lamb burgers, et cetera, which would most likely taste rancid made with strawberry or wild blueberry flavour.)
This morning I made my own strawberry yogurt, with organic honey and raw pepitas.
I recommend if you don’t eat Greek yogurt to give it a try. The texture is amazing (none of that nasty gelatin) and you will feel like you’re indulging even though it’s “fat” free!
Thanks again, Mr. Weston! You done good.
Bon apètit,
