Yogurt Nutrition. Nutrition facts and information, and a delicious yogurt smoothie recipe you can try out now.

Yogurt is an excellent source of protein, live active cultures, calcium, Vitamin B-6, Vitamin B-12, riboflavin, potassium, zinc magnesium.

The live active cultures found in yogurt also make yogurt a better choice than milk for some people; these active cultures help digest the lactose in milk so it would not cause diarrhea and other problems.

Recommended Daily Intake

Try to eat at least one cup daily in order to enjoy yogurt’s health benefits. Be sure to go for the non-fat and low-fat varieties if you are on a weight-loss regimen.

Plain Yogurt

A cup of plain yogurt (8 oz) contains approximately 137 calories, with about 18.8g carbohydrates, 14.0g proteins and 0.4g total fat.

Yogurt Smoothies Nutrition

Yogurt Smoothies or bottled yogurt contain yogurt with water and fruit juice. This form of yogurt would dilute the calcium content, but you would still get the full range of nutrients found in normal yogurt.

Yogurt Smoothie Recipe

Here’s a delicious yogurt smoothie recipe that can be prepared in under 10 minutes:

Prepare half a cup of fruit or any mix of your favorite fruits: strawberries, raspberries, peaches, bananas, apples.
Sprinkle flaxseeds, sunflower seeds or blueberries for added nutritional value
Prepare three quarters cup of plain or non-fat yogurt.
Prepare one cup of milk
Pour all the above yogurt smoothie ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

And you are ready to serve! Wasn’t that quick?

Nutrition Facts: Soy Yogurt

Soy yogurt nutrition is yet another variation. Soy yogurt has no saturated fat and helps lower cholesterol levels. However, soy yogurt tends to contain less nutrients; a serving of soy yogurt would typically have less protein, calcium, vitamin Bs and magnesium than a serving of yogurt.

Nutrition Information: Full Fat Yogurt

How about full fat yogurt? You have probably heard of this variety. Full fat yogurt is extremely creamy; many Americans find this delicious. However, do note that the cream adds much saturated fat. If you are trying to lose weight, stay away from full fat yogurt. ***C2_invitation_21464505***
