Unit 23 Make plans for plain yogurt.

Unit 23 擬定飲用原味優格計劃

When most Americans think of yogurt，they think of those dessert一like concoctions with sugary fruit at the bottom. It’s true that yogurt is a healthy food packed with protein,but syrupy,fruity versions tend to counteract the benefits of plain yogurt.

大部分的美國人想到酸奶時，他們想到的是像甜點一般底下有糖分很高的水果混合飲料。沒錯，酸奶是一種富含蛋白質的健康食物，但那些含糖漿及水果的酸奶往往會抵消掉原味酸奶的優點。

Have you ever tried plain yogurt? It might take some getting used to，but it’s worth it. It’s a perfect substitute for sour cream on baked potatoes and tacos or in salad dressings and other recipes. Yogurt contains only 140 calories and 7. 4 grams of fat per cup，sour cream nearly 800 calories and 48 grams of fat. Low-fat yogurt further cuts fat to 3. 5 grams per cup, and no-fat yogurt brings it down to zero.

你喝過原味酸奶嗎?要習慣它的味道可能要花些工夫，但卻是值得的。原味酸奶是涂在烤馬鈴薯、墨西哥薄餅卷及加在沙拉醬和其他食譜中的酸乳醬絕佳的代替品。每杯酸奶只含有140卡的熱量及7. 4克的脂肪，而酸乳醬則含接近800卡熱量及48克的脂肪。每杯低脂酸奶還能再把脂肪含量減到3. 5克，脫脂酸奶甚至能將脂肪降至零。

As for yogurt as a dessert，you can find low-fat，sugar-free versions in the dairy section of the supermarket. Better yet，be creative and make your own fruit/yogurt combinations.

至于把酸奶當作甜點，你可以在超市的奶制品區找到低脂無糖的產品。然而更好的選擇是，用點巧思做出自己的水果/酸奶點心。

Try this:Mix together one cup of low-fat or no-fat yogurt，1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 package of artificial sweetener. Slice and chop a large apple, stir it into the yogurt mix and一voila!一you have a darned good fruit salad containing the same number of calories as pre-prepared yogurt and fruit. Tomorrow try a banana or a peach. Or mix a bunch of fruits together for a feast of a meal that still has far fewer calories than a burger and fries.

試試以下這個酸奶點心的做法:先將一杯低脂或無脂酸奶，一茶匙肉桂及一包代糖混合。再將一個大蘋果切成許多小塊后和酸奶混合料攪拌在一起，然后——就這么簡單!——你就會得到一份含有和事先所準備的酸奶和水果同樣熱量的超棒水果沙拉。明天還可以改試香蕉或桃子的口味。或者是放人一大堆水果，做成一頓熱量仍遠比一個漢堡加薯條來得低的豐盛餐點吧。
