Greek Yogurt, Frozen Raspberries, Raw Honey & Ceylon Cinnamon

This wonderful frozen dessert is such a good one for those trying to lose some fat. The Greek yogurt has only 6-grams of fat for 3/4 of a cup and 16-grams of protein!

I strain the inflammatory lactic acid from my yogurt, and my cottage cheese and sour cream as well. This not only makes it healthier and less sour, but it makes it thick and decadent. Without it even being frozen it has an ice cream thickness.

Top the yogurt with the frozen raspberries, raw honey and Ceylon cinnamon. I swirled the frozen raspberries gently through the yogurt which made all of it seem more frozen like ice cream.

“One of the reasons a lot of people give, if they have overcome the idea that milk forms mucous, or is a risk for diseases and so on; one of their arguments is that it makes them fat. But, all the research on animals, and as far as it goes, human research, shows that milk is probably the best reducing foods there is. The mechanisms for that are now known. Not only the anti-stress effects of casein, and a good balance of saturated fats and so on, but the calcium alone is very important metabolic regulator, that it happens to inhibit the fat-forming enzymes fatty acid synthase, and incidentally that’s a characteristic enzyme that goes wild in cancer. But calcium and milk inhibit that fatty acid synthase, reducing the formation of fats and at the same time it activates the uncoupling proteins in the
mitochondria, which are associated with increased longevity. Because they, by increasing the metabolic rate, the uncoupling proteins burn calories faster but they protect against free-radical oxidation. That they pull the fuel through
the oxidation process so fast in effect, that none of it goes astray in random oxidation, where if you inhibit your energy producing enzymes you tend to get random, stray oxidation that damage the mitochondria. So the uncoupling proteins burn calories faster, at the same time that your reducing fat synthesis and milk is, as far as I know, they only food does both of those things simultaneously.” -Ray Peat, PhD
