Voskos Greek Yogurt Review & Giveaway (ends 10/20)

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways | 197 Comments

Product Name: Voskos Greek Yogurt Product Information: Greek Yogurt is an excellent source of protein. Voskos Greek Yogurt contains 24g of protein and is high in potassium, which some find helpful in elevating mood. Greek yogurt also provides a valuable source of calcium. An 8-ounce serving of most yogurts provides 450 mg. of calcium, one-half of a child's RDA and 30 to 40 percent of the adult RDA for calcium. Because the live and active cultures in yogurt increase the absorption of calcium, an 8-ounce serving of yogurt gets more calcium into the body than the same volume of milk. My Thoughts: Greek Yogurt is still pretty new to me. I've only tried it a few times so I was excited when...
