    Greek yogurt has a thicker consistency to it and is higher in protein than regular yogurt.

    I buy mostly the plain 0% fat greek yogurt and mix fruit into it or Jello fat free vanilla pudding powder.

    It's still yogurt, just strained more to remove more liquid and milk sugars. The end product being thicker, lower in sugar and higher in protein content per ounce.

    Fat free Greek yogurt is a great way to get protein and calcium into your diet. Plain Greek yogurt has a consistency and taste similar to sour cream. I use it plain on baked potatoes and Mexican food or anywhere I'd use sour cream. I'm having some for breakfast this morning, too. I usually add raspberries and a packet of sweetener but today it's blueberries and honey.

    In addition to being thicker and creamier, I also find Greek yogurt less acidic!
