Voskos Greek Yogurt, the West Coast's Favorite Greek Yogurt, Now Available Nationally

"With Voskos, you're getting 24 g of protein and it took you less than 30 seconds to get it in your bowl," says Christine Avanti. "All yogurts are not the same nutritionally. The balance of protein and carbohydrates in Voskos Greek Yogurt provides an optimal fat-burning base and if you add some more carbohydrates, such as fresh fruit or berries, you won't crave those sugary snacks that ultimately cost you your waistline and your dollars." 24 g of protein in each serving is more than twice the protein of regular yogurt and nearly half of the DV recommended for adults and children over 4 years old.

Favorite recipes using Voskos Greek Yogurt include High Protein Pumpkin Ginger Pancakes and more can be found at http://voskosgreekyogurt.com/Recipes.html. According to a tip sheet entitled 25 Healthy Snacks for Kids authored by American Dietetic Association's (ADA) staff registered dietitians, low-fat yogurt is a favorite ingredient in 6 of the 25 recommended healthy snacks. Their convenient, low-cost breakfast, dessert and snack ideas include:

• Peel a banana and dip it in yogurt. Roll in crushed cereal and freeze.
• Top yogurt with crunchy granola and sprinkle with blueberries.
• Toast a whole grain waffle and top with yogurt and sliced peaches.
• Fill a waffle cone with cut-up fruit and top with yogurt.

About Voskos Greek Yogurt

The straining process used to produce Greek Yogurt allows even non-fat Greek Yogurt to be thick, creamy and satiating. Voskos Greek Yogurt is all-natural and is made using only the highest quality hormone free milk and probiotic cultures. Voskos Greek Yogurt uses five probiotic live and active cultures in its Greek Yogurts and the combination and balance of these probiotics may allow a daily serving of Voskos to potentially aid in the regulation of natural intestinal bacteria. Voskos is the only Greek Yogurt brand to produce both organic and non-organic yogurts and to produce flavored, pre-stirred non-fat Greek Yogurts. Voskos retails for between $1.39 and $1.99. Voskos Greek Yogurt is made in California. For more information, please visit www.voskosgreekyogurt.com.
