Unsweetened full fat natural Greek yoghurt can be consumed from phase 2 of Atkins. It is a great source of protein and calcium and can be a great afternoon snack. Greek yoghurt is also an important protein source for low carb vegetarians.

A full fat natural Greek yogurt that would be considered low carb should have no more than 5g of carbs for a ¾ cup serving. As with all other dairy sources, Greek yoghurt should be consumed in moderation.

Planning your carb needs around a snack, breakfast, or dessert containing Greek yogurt is often helpful and helps beat egg and meat boredom.

Here is some recipes for all you Greek yoghurt fans:

Greek Summer Salad 

Atkins Ice Cream Pops

Berry Smoothie Bowl
