Food Label for Greek Yogurt: Pride of Cows Blueberry Greek Yogurt
Greek Yogurt: Pride of Cows Blueberry Greek YogurtThis Pride of Cows Blueberry Greek Yogurt is a decent snack, but it's not perfect. It has a good amount of protein, but it also has added sugar and some processed ingredients. Compared to plain Greek yogurt, this is less healthy because of the added sugar. Benefit: Good source of protein (10g, 20% DV), which helps with satiety and muscle building. Greek yogurt is also a good source of calcium. Benefit: Contains live and active cultures, which are beneficial for gut health. Concern: Contains added sugar (5g). While not a huge amount, it's still unnecessary. The sugar comes from grape concentrate, which is still sugar. Too much sugar can lead to weight gain, insulin resistance, and other health problems. Concern: Contains added natural flavoring substances. These are often highly processed and can contain hidden ingredients that aren't listed on the label. Concern: Contains acidity regulator (INS 330). This is citric acid, which is generally safe, but can cause digestive issues in some people. Alternatives: Plain Greek yogurt with fresh blueberries. You can also add a small amount of honey or maple syrup if you need a little sweetness. Look for yogurts with minimal ingredients and no added sugar.
