16. Greek yogurt
Great for a snack anytime, especially when topped a few berries or almonds. Greek yogurt has 18 grams of protein and (nonfat versions) contain a skinny 100 calories. Oh so indulgent and creamy! This is a definite exception to the “if it tastes good it must be bad for you” rule! Plain Greek yogurt has double the protein, half the sodium, and half the carbs of conventional yogurt. You can always use Greek yogurt in place of any other fat when you are baking or cooking. For example, if a recipe for bread calls for half a cup of vegetable oil or butter, you can safely substitute Greek yogurt. Try using Greek yogurt in place of cream cheese, oil, sour cream, or mayo. For example, try making bean burritos and topping them with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthy boost. Most people never notice the difference in flavor.
