DASH friendly product: Nonfat greek yogurt

I love sour cream but since DASH diet regimen; I had to say goodbye to my old love and go out in the hunt for some healthy yet delicious new option. I search and search until nonfat greek yogurt enchanted me with its tangy and creamy richness.

What not to love about yogurt? Full of probiotics, excellent for digestion (even better tolerated than cows milk alone) and packed with calcium ... is a doctor and dietician dream food. Yup! Amazing! Any yogurt is good (mainly if its plain with no sugar added) but nonfat greek is over the top. Our Mediterranean friends really hit the ball out of the park with this one. No fat added, double the protein and half of the sugars compared to regular yogurt. And just around 110mg of sodium in 8 oz. ( 8onz equals 1 cup equals 1 diary in DASH).

I love it in backed potatoes, dips, marinates and desserts. Is the most versatile product and its healthy too...

That is why is an outstanding DASH product.

My favorite brand is Chobani but go and explore all the different brands of nonfat greek yogurt. If you love yogurt for breakfast or dessert... consider instead of sugar or splenda adding organic honey even add vanilla and cinnamon and omit the sugar all together.

Enjoy!

CHINESE RECIPES WITH A DASH TWIST

I really love chinese food but sometimes enjoying it without feeling guilty is complicated. Even though, you could eat tones of veggies in chinese takeout, the amount of sodium in their dishes is overwhelming. 
So I decided to give it a try and start preparing my own take on chinese favorites. Yes, yes, off course is not exactly the same taste but is pretty close. I try my best to prepare easy recipes with common/regular produce or if you would invest in a less common product that you will either notice that its shelf life is long and its price is affordable.
My first recipes are:
    a) wonton soup
    b) chicken wontons
I hope you try these amazing recipes and that you enjoy them just like my family does. :)
