Benefits of Greek Yogurt

We love Greek Yogurt at Lose Weight By Eating! I even mentioned it was the answer to any low calorie cooking quandary in my new cookbook Lose Weight By Eating Easy Dinners… and I was only 1/2 joking!

Below you will find 5 health benefits of Greek Yogurt. Further down the article I will share Greek Yogurt nutrition, and 100 Greek Yogurt recipes.

1. Boosts Metabolism

One of our favorite benefits of Greek Yogurt, is that it naturally boosts metabolism!

Adding more protein rich ingredients into your diet can naturally raise metabolism (1), and burn more fat.

2. Reduce the Risk of Diabetes

Looking to decrease the risk of Type 2 Diabetes? One of the benefits of Greek Yogurt, is lowering your risk!

A 2104 study linked eating more yogurt to lowering the risk of Type 2 Diabetes (2).

3. Improves Gut Health

The probiotics in Greek Yogurt help promote a healthy gut (3), and that makes it one of the best benefits of Greek Yogurt.

4. Lowers Blood Pressure

Another one of the great benefits of Greek Yogurt, is that it helps lower blood pressure!

A 2013 study showed that the probiotics in Greek Yogurt helped lower participant’s blood pressure (4).

5. Good for Mental Health!

Perhaps one of the most surprising benefits of Greek Yogurt is how it can help mental health!

A 2016 study showed Greek Yogurt (along with other probiotic healthy factors), assisted in lowering stress and anxiety!(5)

Greek Yogurt Nutrition

Now that we’ve reviewed the benefits of Greek Yogurt, it’s easy to see how healthy the probiotic packed ingredient can be for you!

Below you will find a Greek Yogurt Nutrition label. The calories in 1 cup of Greek Yogurt are only 100! But in that 100 calories, you are packing in a lot of nutrition.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 gallon milk I use 2%
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt

Instructions
 

Regular Style Yogurt

  • Set the Instant Pot to “keep warm.” Add the milk and heat uncovered for 40 minutes. Whisk, then change the setting to “sauté, medium heat.” Use a thermometer to check the heat periodically; when it’s reached 185°F (this will take about 15 minutes), hit “cancel” and use oven mitts to carefully remove the inner pot.
  • Let the milk cool for 40 minutes, then whisk in the yogurt. Return the inner pot to the Instant Pot, cover, close the pressure vent, and wrap the entire Instant Pot in a towel. Let the mixture sit for 8 hours or overnight.
  • Scoop the yogurt into a glass bowl, cover, and refrigerate until cold.

  • Scoop the yogurt into a glass bowl, cover, and refrigerate until cold.
