Voskos Greek Yogurt Review

It’s officially the first day of summer and many of us are scrambling to get bikini ready. I was lucky enough to get several samples of Greek yogurt from Voskos and wanted to share my thoughts with all of you.

As many of you know, yogurt is considered a diet friendly snack. Top it off with some fresh fruit and you’ve got yourself a very healthy meal. Vanessa Nielsen, Director of Marketing at Voskos shipped over a package of Organic yogurt, original, non fat, and blended flavors.

My favorite was the Honey Original. It was decadent and delightful with a super creamy texture. I felt like I was eating dessert! And no wonder. At 14 grams of fat and 290 calories per serving, it would hardly be considered a slimming, but it sure was tasty.

The nonfat Greek Honey version had 130 calories, but was too tart for my liking.

It was creamy, but definitely not sweet enough.

For something in between, check out the flavored non fat yogurts. I liked the Wild Strawberry flavor with just a slight hint of tartness. And at 120 calories, you can’t go wrong on your way to bikini fitness. Make sure you check out the other great flavors, including Exotic Fig and Wild Blueberry.

For those interested in Organic yogurt, fear not, Voskos offers 3 different flavors.  Plain, Greek Honey, and Vanilla Bean, all of them nonfat. Yay! Head on over to your supermarket and snatch up these tasty treats. I highly recommend them. One last thing, I was so satisfied with the Honey Original that I didn’t eat again for a few hours. Now, that’s what I call a great meal.

Thanks again, Vanessa for introducing me to the goodness of Greek!

Here’s some additional info on Voskos Greek Yogurt and how it can be used to help you attain your fitness goals.

SNACK YOUR WAY TO WEIGHT LOSS WITH VOSKOS® GREEK YOGURT
Keeping blood sugar level steady is key

Sun Valley, CA—May 17, 2010—Anyone looking to dip into the pool this summer should dip into Voskos® Greek
Yogurt multiple times daily. Healthy snacking frequently helps us stay healthy, lose weight, and stay in control of
the goals we set out to achieve.
A recent study from Psychological Science suggests that self-control in humans depends largely on blood glucose
levels. The study tested subjects on cognitive performance and self control of refraining from tempting foods and
states that it is “likely that self-control processes involve cognitive processes that depend on glucose as a limited
energy source—one that becomes depleted after exertion…Negative effects of prior exertion of self-control
should be eliminated with a boost of glucose.”
June M. Lay, M.S., and author of “It’s Not a Diet, It’s Creative Eating” explains the findings: “When we eat healthy
and eat often, we resist our cravings as well as perform better in general. Because we’re eating more often, we
are using food as our energy source, not our stress hormones. When blood sugar level is consistently adequate,
we’ll have a higher energy level and mood and we’re not as physically stressed.”
Ms. Lay recommends we snack throughout the day on healthy foods such as Voskos Greek Yogurt. “An 8oz
single serving of Voskos Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt has 24 grams of protein. That’s 49% of the Daily Value.
Plus, it’s naturally low in sugar and has simply skim milk and probiotic cultures in the ingredients list. I
recommend my clients eat at least one serving of Voskos Greek Yogurt a day and to add fresh fruit or nuts if plain
is too tart for their palette.”
Ms. Lay also notes that, “Brain cells can only function with glucose for fuel, and since the body doesn’t store it in a
readily accessible state, we need to ‘fuel our brains’ about every four hours.” Going more than four hours causes
low blood sugar and can cause the erratic behavior of reaching out for a “little” treat to stave off hunger, sending
us on a sweets binge and putting us in a hyperglycemic (spiked blood sugar) state. When there is more glucose
than our cells require, extra calories are stored as fat.
The secret to losing weight is stabilizing the metabolism by snacking often. Therefore, those who set short-term
goals such as getting bikini-ready or wanting to adopt a healthy diet as a lifestyle change should snack on healthy
foods such as Voskos Greek Yogurt throughout the day.
