Protein Berry Fage (strained Greek, nonfat yogurt)

This is my new favorite treat meal when I am craving a dessert like pudding or ice cream. The benefits of Greek yogurt are many - live active cultures that help make your digestive system healthier, calcium for your bones (and some tout dairy as a waist whittler), berries full of disease fighting nutrients and a 3g of fiber, and muscle milk to bring up the protein content. muscle milk is a little too sweet for my taste, but since the Fage is tart, is makes it perfect.

Another bonus, these are all Costco items, so its a cheap snack ;)

1/2c Fage , strained Greek Yogurt
1 scoop Vanilla Muscle Milk 100% whey protein Powder
1c frozen mixed berries

Mix all thoroughly, let berries melt a bit and enjoy :) It is also good mixed in the blender, if you want a smoother consistency.

This would be good as a parfait, too, with some toasted oats or healthy granola on top for breakfast.
