Yogurt Cheese
Yogurt is not only a handy breakfast or snack but also one is the most versatile foods to use in cooking.
Nutritionally, low-fat yogurt is a winner.
Lots of protein, but not too much fat; lots of calcium, and some zinc and riboflavin.
It's the calcium, of course that earns yogurt the most praise.
Many adults lose their taste or tolerance for milk with age, but yogurt continues to agree with them on both counts.
That makes it an ideal calcium source for the over-21 set.
Of course, it's great for kids and teenagers too ;-)
Now yogurt cheese can be used as you would cream cheese, but it has significantly less fat, calories, and cholesterol.
