With all this talk about Power grains here and different protein powders that are better for this reason or that, i feel like there isn't enough talk about Greek Yogurt! It really is a superfood. Its loaded with protein and fat free! (and given that you find the right brand, low carb too!)
It has, in most cases, twice the protein and less than half the carbs of typical yogurts that you will find in the store. While still maintaining all of the important levels of probiotics and active cultures.
The only downside of the Greek variation of this favorite is the slight decrease in calcium. Easy fix though, drink some milk that you would have had anyway!
Here is a short article on it:

Try mixing it with a couple packets of your favorite sweetener and a couple shakes of cinnamon! Its fantastic as a topping or on its own! Perfect on those protein pancakes!
You can do the same thing with your protein powder in the morning. I see no way easier way to improve your breakfast of quinoa, oats, bran, or just about whatever it is you eat in the morning than with a cup of greek yogurt, a scoop of cold processed whey protein (MASS, for example) and a couple packets of sweetener.
I'm truly quite sad that i have neglected this stuff from my diet for the past few months, and I'm somewhat "rediscovering" my love for it as I type this out.
Give it a try Fellas! A couple bucks more, but give up one thing for it each week! Its well worth it!
