Why use Greek yoghurt? It is made by straining whey and other liquids released during yoghurt fermentation. It is thus thicker than regular yoghurt and has a higher protein content. According to Healthline, Greek yoghurt is also rich in micronutrients. The serving of 200g, as used in the above recipe, has the following macro count.
The micronutrients present include vitamin B12, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and selenium. The banana also adds significant micronutrients, and most importantly, potassium and fibre to the meal.
