Greek Yogurt Alternative
Until yesterday I had never heard of Elli Quark, a Greek Yogurt alternative. I came across it while reading the daily Hungry Girl newsletter. I researched this product, then ran it past my RD. She approved it for use, saying it fits into our WLS meal guidelines.
Elli Quark is a cross between Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. It has a smooth texture. The 6ozs containers have 80 calories, 14g of protein, 0g of fat, and 5g of sugar. Super Target carries a few of the flavors or a 12 pack can be ordered from Elli Quark. I will be trying this product!

I've got some Quark in my freezer that I keep forgetting about. My local grocery store (Safeway) carries it.

Sounds good - let us know what you think. I'm sure I can find a Super Target.
