Greek = Good

I just tried Greek yogurt for the first time today, and I am now a convert. (Okay, probably not REALLY for the first time. I'm sure I've eaten it in restaurants before. Just not in a little plastic yogurt cup I took out of my own fridge.) Specifically, I had Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt in vanilla flavor that I purchased at Whole Foods. It has a slight almost sour flavor to it which, contrary to what you would like, actually tasted quite good. It also was creamy, a nice change from the watery soy yogurts I normally eat.

I did a little research and found out that Greek yogurt not only has all the health benefits of regular yogurt, but can actually improve lactose intolerance. As someone who suffers from lactose issues (hence the previous reliance on soy yogurt), I am excited but also a little skeptical. I'll just have to eat a bunch of Greek yogurt one day and see what happens. (For those of you reading this who don't know me, I am inherently a skeptic and a believer in empirical evidence.)
