Greek Yogurt: Low Sugar, High Protein

Yogurt sweetened with vast amounts of sugar and artificial sweeteners like aspartame could do more harm instead of aid.

That's why there is FAGE (pronounced "fa-yeh"), an all natural, Greek, strained yogurt!

Manufactured in Greece, FAGE is unlike your ordinary yogurt sitting in the cold, dairy aisle. It's thick, creamy and has no sugar added! Contrary to yogurts manufactured by U.S. American companies, FAGE has only three ingredients: grade A pasteurized skimmed milk and cream and live active yogurt cultures.

Did I mention it's safe for the lactose intolerant?!

A 6.5 ounce of FAGE 0% (fat free) contains 80 calories, a whopping 13 grams of protein, 6 grams of sugar and 6 carbohydrates.

FAGE is available in the following varieties:
  • FAGE total classic
  • FAGE total 0%
  • FAGE total 2%
  • FAGE total 5%
  • FAGE total honey
  • FAGE total fruit

For a flavorful treat, sweeten plain FAGE with honey and top with nuts! Fruit always is welcome!

Yogurt is known for its many health benefits; live active cultures have been known to aid with ulcers, strengthen the immune system, reduce the occurrence of yeast infections and fight against food-poisoning causing bacteria such as Salmonella.
