As I step outside into the heat each day, there is no denying that summer has arrived here in Florida. Unfortunately, being 34 weeks pregnant, I am anything by ready for swimsuit season! Really, who is? It is that dreaded time of year where we all wish we had worked a little harder to get into summer shape. Dannon Oikos has teamed up with dietician and author of Slim, Calm, Sexy Diet Kerri Glassman, to bring you the "Grab a Spoon 'til June" campaign. This campaign focuses on making everyday healthy choices to help you track your goals this summer!

Top Tips from Dietician Kerri Glassman

-       Every Meal Is A “Monday Morning”. Focus on eating better, one meal at a time. Otherwise it can be easy to get discouraged – forget the worry! Your only mission: Make the next meal you eat nutritious, balanced and satisfying. 

-       Don’t Eat Around A Craving. Honor your craving with a conscious indulgence - take a few deep breaths and find a healthy alternative! Try satisfying your sweet tooth with Dannon Oikos^® Greek nonfat yogurt, it is nutritious but still has an incredible taste.

-       No-Excuses Exercise. Sometimes the biggest barrier to working out is just getting there so a good option can be to make it as easy as possible—throw in a workout DVD or even going for a walk takes away excuses and gets you moving! 

-       Satisfying Proteins. A moderate-protein balanced diet with a reasonable amount of fiber, carbohydrates and the appropriate amount of healthy fats is the best way to maintain a healthy weight. Dairy is a great source of protein, try a creamy Greek nonfat yogurt like Dannon Oikos^®--it has twice the protein of regular lowfat yogurt (Oikos Greek Nonfat yogurt has 12 -14g Protein (24%DV) while regular lowfat yogurt: 5g protein (10%DV) per 5.3oz.)

Why Dannon Oikos Yogurt?

Dannon Oikos is a thick nonfat yogurt that is super creamy, tasty and made with a traditional Greek process of straining. Each cup contains twice the protein of regular lowfat yogurt. Dannon Oikos Blueberry and Strawberry nonfat yogurts were preferred on taste to Chobani’s Blueberry and Strawberry nonfat yogurts in a national-paired taste test.
