Plain Yogurt?
Since breakfast can be challenging, here is one more easy option that takes less than 5 minutes to prepare and can hold you for 3-4 hours or until lunch. Plain yogurt is a great food to have on a daily basis since it contains 400 mg. of calcium per cup serving besides providing healthy bacteria for your gut.
As opposed to European yogurts, most plain American yogurts are bitter and tasteless, at least until recently. A few years back this pattern started to change with several companies selling European-style yogurts with a thick creamy consistency.
One of my favorites is from  Strauss plain yogurt. Strauss is a small company that carries all organic products including plain low-fat yogurt and whole milk yogurt. Both are good options that come in large containers only. They have regular and Greek now. The one I regularly eat is Bellwether Sheep yogurt which is less inflammatory than cow and has more protein and calcium than cow yogurt. It is super creamy, smooth and has a great mouth feel!
All of these brand mix well with fruit and nuts or seeds, or the Healthy Nut Mix book A Recipe for Life by the Doctor’s Dietitian.
