everyday, i begin my journey with a good dollop of greek yogurt - not the gloppy american version, laden with gelatin and sporting a slightly yellowish hue. rather, my beloved FACE total greek yogurt, with 0% fat. it's lily white complexion beckons me from it's all too familiar container ... it is smooth, creamy, and pale - a perfect foil for honey, raspberry coulis, a bit of sugar, or a sprinkling of go lean crunch by kashi.
i am proud to say that i have turned on many a friend to this, a staple of my diet. high in protein, low in calories, and full of goodness, this is a perfect food. i travel with it, bring it to the city with me for post-meeting drives home, and generally even travel with it in tow (just on car trips though - i can't imagine what the xrays of airport security would do to it!).
i generally eat an entire container during the course of any day - when i get up in the morning, i open it (discarding the parchment cover that lies underneath the lid, having once ingested half of it and freaking out, thinking the yogurt had gone bad!), give it a swirl, and leave it out on the counter all day. in my humble estimation, it gets better and better as it descends to room temperature, although i seem to be alone in this opinion. i think it is super delicious and extra creamy at this point - and i have been know to leave it out overnight, with nary a problem (or need for stomach pumping).
an additional benefit of ingesting all of this yogurt is the certainty that it virtually kills off any of those nasty microbes that make us sick. remember those commercials years ago for dannon, 100 year old men and women from azerbaijan smiling broadly, revealing that their secret to longevity and happiness lay in the fact that they ate this miracle food daily?
my recommendation, take the sum of these facts, total them up and put a smile on your face!
