"Life's Three Big F's: Fashion, Fitness, and Food"


We are used to posting fashion and art trends here at “Chasing Pumas,” but as we all know, looking good goes back to feeling good. Feeling good goes back to health, and before we can show off those bodies we have to make sure we are aware of what we are putting in them. Seeing as summer is just around the corner, a food trend post is only befitting.

One of the latest health food trends is Greek yogurt. However, not all yogurts are created equally. That is why we want to help you out with choosing the best one. After much taste-testing and researching into brands, our favorite brand was Chobani Greek yogurt. Why you ask? It was one of the few yogurts that packed a killer combination of nutrients and taste. With filling serving sizes, these little dairy products will trick your mind into thinking it's a sweet treat. Here is some more information we got from the labels to help you decide if this trend is right for you:

· 140-160 calories

· flavors ranging from pomegranate to pineapple and lemon, which are our personal favorites

· probiotics

· 15g of protein on average

· 0-2.5g of fat

As you can see, these little yogurts pack a healthy and tasty punch. The problem is this latest food is a latest trend selling out on store shelves everywhere. People actually have to make requests, and the stuff is on back-order in many markets. The only down side is for diabetics, because some of the flavors can pack up to 20g of sugar! Aside from that, they are a way better alternative to regular yogurts. So pick one up today if you can, and you'll be one step closer to looking good and feeling what Tony the Tiger calls "grrreat!" Stay tuned for more healthy food trends that will help you fit into fashion!
