Why I love Plain Yogurt

Yeah, you read it well...plain yogurt, not the heavily sweetened and flavored ones but simple and natural plain yogurt. Whether you are adding it into a smoothie, enjoying it or swapping it as a low calorie option compared to other ones. yogurt is a very healthy treat that is popularly known and enjoyed by many. Researchers, nutritionists and doctors recognizes  yogurt as a powerhouse of nutrition for everyone and research continues to prove this. A serving of yogurt is packed with
power boosting nutrients and vitamins known in combating common medical issues. For extra hydration and quick muscle repair after workout I take yogurt.

Yogurt is packed with loads and loads of benefits but not all yogurt is packed with the same amount of nutrients. If you want to get the most out of it, I suggest plain yogurt. It contains twice amount of protein compared to varieties, it has no sugar, it has more calcium and is lower in calories than others.


Flavored and sweetened yogurts are packed with hidden calories, they are high in sugar, preservatives and fat(most times). When buying yogurt, read the nutritional information, don't just buy. Check the protein and sugar content; the higher the protein the lower the sugar

I love plain yogurt because I can control its sweetness and flavors by adding any natural fruit of my choice. So where can you buy plain yogurt in Nigeria:

• Domino
• Shoprite
• Goodies
• Or any Lebanese or Indian shop
