Greek Yogurt - Low Carb Food Find

Tweet

Craving Greek Yogurt? 

Regular fruited Greek Yogurt (i.e. Chobani Strawberry) contains 20 g. of carbs and 140 calories. 

However, their are a few lower carb alternatives to this:

Dannon Light & Fit Strawberry Greek Yogurt has less then half the carbs at 8 g. of carbs and 80 calories.  It is pretty decent tasting in my opinion.

The natural alternative is 6 oz. of plain Greek Yogurt (Chobani) which has 7 g. carbs.  You can add about 2 small diced fresh strawberries to it for 1 additional net carb.

Do you occasionally eat yogurt as part of a lower carb diet?

Easy Low Carb Chicken Salad

Tweet

 

Here is an easy basic recipe for low carb chicken salad.  This recipe is great as is or you can modify it based on your needs or what you have on hand. It is sure not to disappoint.

1 cup of this chicken salad has approximately 2.89 g. of net carbs.

This recipe makes about 3 cups of chicken salad.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of mayo (I used Duke's brand because it has no sugar in it)
The juice of 1 lemon (this is about 1 tablespoon of lemon juice - adds 1 g. net carb)
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
1/4 teaspoon of poultry seasoning*
1/2 cup of slivered almonds (adds 6 g. net carbs)
2 large stalks of celery, chopped (adds 1.68 net carbs)
2 cups of chopped cooked chicken meat (I used the meat from a store bought rotisserie chicken; skin removed). 

Directions:
In a medium bowl mix together all of the ingredients except the chicken.  Stir in the chopped chicken and serve. 

*Poultry seasoning is generally a mix of sage, thyme and rosemary.  If you don't have "poultry seasoning" on hand, you can just use a mix of the spices.
