A Little Love From The Washington Post’s Lean & Fit eNewsletter

Liberté Yogurt by Jessica Gioglio

You don’t have to be from Washington, D.C. to enjoy the Washington Post’s weekly Lean & Fit eNewsletter.  In addition to featuring helpful nutrition and fitness tips and recipes, the newsletter allows readers to submit their food-related questions.  I recently sent in a response to a reader’s question about yogurt suggestions that were fat-free AND low in sugar (yet delicious).  A tall order, right?

Well, imagine my delight when my savvy tip made the cut:
I find Greek yogurt a bit too tart, so I prefer plain Liberté yogurt, which isn’t non-fat (2 percent milk), but for 6 ounces it only has 9 grams of sugar and has a rich, luxurious taste. The only ingredients are milk and yogurt cultures. I typically buy it at Whole Foods – hopefully they also have it at their DC stores. – Jessica

Thanks again to Jennifer for including my yogurt obsession in this week’s Lean & Fit eNewsletter.  If you’re interested in subscribing, please click here to do so.  Note that you are required to register for The Washington Post’s website first, which is free.
