If its creamy, rich flavor alone isn't enough to sell you on this versatile, nutrient-packed yogurt, here's why it deserves to be a bigger part of your diet.\\n\\n- It's the easiest breakfast ever: Overslept and in need of an easy healthy breakfast? Let Greek yogurt come to the rescue. Toss a scoop in a bowl with some fresh berries and your favorite nuts, and you're good to go. The fiber and protein in this throw-together breakfast will keep you satisfied until lunchtime rolls around.\\n- It's high in protein: After a tough strength-training session, it's essential to fill up on at least 10 grams of protein to help your muscles recover and repair. If you're not ready for a big meal, grab a cup of delicious Greek instead; I'm a big fan of [Chobani's fruit on the bottom yogurt ](http://www.chobani.com/products/fruit-on-the-bottom#raspberry) that comes in a ton of tasty flavors, all offering 11 or 12 grams of protein per cup.\\n- It can sub in for . . . everything: Instead of using ingredients like sour cream, milk, or mayo, you can replace those unhealthy fats with Greek yogurt. It even works for baked goods; instead of using eggs and oil in store-bought cake, substitute one cup of yogurt and one cup of water to keep things lighter and just as delicious.\\n- It's full of probiotics: If you're dealing with digestion issues, there's no need to turn to over-the-counter treatments right away -- just eat your fill of Greek yogurt. It's full of good-for-you strains of bacteria that support a healthy digestive system without being too tough on a sensitive belly.\\n\\n More from [POPSUGAR Fitness](http://www.fitsugar.com/): - [The Anti-Inflammatory Foods All Runners Need](http://www.fitsugar.com/Anti-Inflammatory-Foods-34349406)\\n- [ Protein May Be the Answer to Your Weight-Loss Woes](http://www.fitsugar.com/Protein-Weight-Loss-33795909)\\n- [How to Pack Your Lunch to Lose Weight](http://www.fitsugar.com/Lunch-Packing-Weight-Loss-Tips-34355178)\\n \\n Follow [POPSUGAR Fitness on Twitter](http://twitter.com/POPSUGARfitness)  \\n Become a [Fan of POPSUGAR Fitness on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/PopSugarFitness)Image Credit: *Chobani*"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
