It’s a new year already – are you tired of the one million messages in the media telling you how to achieve “wellness” yet? Because I totally get it – there’s so much noise about how to eat and with all of the information out there on the internet, it’s hard to filter out exactly what will work for you.
One thing that will always hold true though when it comes to eating well? Finding consistency in building good habits and actually enjoying the food you eat! One of the most important parts about creating healthy goals is to be realistic about what habits you can maintain over time.
One thing I recommend in order to establish consistency in choosing healthy meals is choosing to incorporate simple ingredients that are versatile enough for multiple recipes. Take Greek yogurt for example: something like FAGE Total 5% Plain can be a great choice – not only is it super rich + creamy, but it’s high in protein and contains no added sugars. A great blank canvas to pair with your favorite toppings!
While I love it plain with berries and granola, but it’s also easy to incorporate it into a recipe like this everything bagel tahini dip. Pair it with some roasted sweet potatoes and you’ve got yourself a great side dish or snack! FAGE is creamy enough to be a dip on its own without anything added, but it’s also easy to jazz it up by adding a few simple ingredients like tahini, lemon juice, and everything bagel seasoning to turn it into another tasty dip recipe.
I pick up the large containers to eat throughout the week, but the smaller 7 ounce cups are great for on the go. Plus, you can find it in 3 different milk fat percentages: 0%, 2%, and 5%. I’ve really been loving whole milk yogurt lately – it’s super rich and the fat content paired along with the protein can help you stay satisfied for longer. Plus, it’s made with only milk and live active cultures that can help support a healthy digestive system!
