Greek yogurt
Tzatziki Sauce
In celebration of National Mediterranean Diet Month, here is the second of two Mediterranean-inspired recipes from Nutritioulicious intern Jo Bartell.
Since I shared a nutritioulicous baked falafel recipe yesterday, I thought it would be fitting to share my easy recipe for tzatziki sauce today. Tzatziki is a Greek dipping sauce that tastes great on its own or with falafel, sliced veggies, or whole-wheat pita. Tzatziki demonstrates yet another use for nutritious, delicious, and protein-packed Greek yogurt. I used 2% plain Greek yogurt for this recipe, but it also tastes great with 0% if you want to cut out even more of the fat. … read more »
Nutritioulicious Meals at Work
By Jo Bartell
A friend of mine who has been working from home for the past year recently started working at an innovative startup company. She was telling me that while the transition to working in an office from 9 to 5 is a welcome change, she is finding it difficult to keep her eating habits and meals on track. So, she asked me for some ideas for healthy at-work snacks and meals that will keep her satiated throughout the day and help her avoid the dreaded 4pm slump and subsequent mindless munching of high ca… read more »

Plus, you won’t feel the least bit guilty indulging in it because of how nutritious it is (especially compared to the original!).

The Versatility of Greek Yogurt
I think most of you know by now that I am a big fan of Greek yogurt — it’s a good source of calcium and protein, and it’s lower in sugar than other types of yogurt (especially when you stick to the original). One of the other things I love about Greek yogurt, is it’s versatility. Yogurt isn’t just for breakfast or snacks anymore. I use it to add creaminess to soups, as a dip for fruit, and to make cakes. What’s pretty amazing about it, is that you can even use it as a replac… read more »
nutritioulicious™ Yogurt
Yogurt is one of the foods that I often recommend to my clients. It makes for a healthy, balanced breakfast or snack, especially when paired with fruit, nuts, or a high-fiber cereal. When I was younger, I only liked fruit-flavored yogurt, but over the years I have acquired a taste for plain yogurt, especially the Greek variety, which I used to find too tart.
There are so many varieties of Greek yogurt these days that it can be hard to choose which one to try. Some of the popular brands include Fage (pronoun… read more »
