Greek yogurt is all the rage - but is it healthier than regular yogurt?

If you think paying a little more for Greek yogurt is a healthier choice - you’re right, usually...

It’s important to check the labels if you’re shopping for nutrition. You’ll want to be sure your Greek pick is not loaded with sugar and fat.

It’s also got twice the amount of protein and less sodium than conventional yogurt.
