Unit 23 拟定饮用原味优格计划

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.

大部分的美国人想到酸奶时，他们想到的是像甜点一般底下有糖分很高的水果混合饮料。没错，酸奶是一种富含蛋白质的健康食物，但那些含糖浆及水果的酸奶往往会抵消掉原味酸奶的优点。

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.

你喝过原味酸奶吗?要习惯它的味道可能要花些工夫，但却是值得的。原味酸奶是涂在烤马铃薯、墨西哥薄饼卷及加在沙拉酱和其他食谱中的酸乳酱绝佳的代替品。每杯酸奶只含有140卡的热量及7. 4克的脂肪，而酸乳酱则含接近800卡热量及48克的脂肪。每杯低脂酸奶还能再把脂肪含量减到3. 5克，脱脂酸奶甚至能将脂肪降至零。

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.

至于把酸奶当作甜点，你可以在超市的奶制品区找到低脂无糖的产品。然而更好的选择是，用点巧思做出自己的水果/酸奶点心。

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.

试试以下这个酸奶点心的做法:先将一杯低脂或无脂酸奶，一茶匙肉桂及一包代糖混合。再将一个大苹果切成许多小块后和酸奶混合料搅拌在一起，然后——就这么简单!——你就会得到一份含有和事先所准备的酸奶和水果同样热量的超棒水果沙拉。明天还可以改试香蕉或桃子的口味。或者是放人一大堆水果，做成一顿热量仍远比一个汉堡加薯条来得低的丰盛餐点吧。
