Greek yoghurt has various benefits (Image: Pexels) A dollop of Greek yoghurt on your muesli might do more than just improve the taste - it could potentially benefit your heart and waistline, according to dietitian Victoria Taylor. However, she cautions that not all yoghurts are created equal. Writing for the British Heart Foundation , she said: "Yoghurt is a nutritious dairy product that can be a tasty and healthy addition to your diet.
It is a fermented food made by adding live yoghurt (which contains bacteria) to milk. It is a good source of protein and calcium." She added: "Research also suggests that the special mix of nutrients in dairy foods like yoghurt and milk helps reduce the risk of heart and circulatory disease.
This is true even though the type of fat in dairy foods is saturated fat." Victoria said that, compared to normal plain yoghurt or milk, strained Greek yoghurt boasted a thicker consistency and higher protein content. She recommended the replacement of milk with 200g of Greek yoghurt in muesli to potentially "double the amount of protein you are getting from around 7g to 14g".
