Instead of Low-Fat Milk, Reach for Greek Yogurt

Flip-flop your breakfast bowl—Instead of pouring 1/2 cup low-fat milk over your bowl of granola (about 2/3 cup), sprinkle ¼ cup granola over 6 ounces of nonfat Greek yogurt. Low-fat granola has about 1.5g fat in 1⁄4 cup—that’s 75% less than regular granola.
