5 Reasons Why Charlie Follett loves our Greek Recipe

We wanted to catch-up with Charlie to gain an insight into how training for a pentathalon can affect the day-to-day life of an elite athlete and learn what adjustments must be made to their diet (this is where Yeo comes in!), and daily routine.

A modern pentathlon comprises of five different events: swimming, fencing, horse riding (show jumping), pistol shooting and running. As Charlie is used to doing things in fives, we thought we’d follow the theme and asked her five things she loves about her favourite Yeo Valley Organic product – our protein-packed Greek Recipe Yogurt!

Over to you Charlie…

- The first reason I love Greek Recipe is because it’s high in protein, as an athlete we need our bodies to recover and rebuild, and high protein is really helpful for this.

- The second reason is its low fat and low sugar, which means I can eat a clean healthy diet. Nutrition is a huge part of my lifestyle, but Greek Recipe can keep me on track, without losing out on taste. I also really appreciate it’s organic too, which means it not only tastes good, but is better for our planet.

- The third reason is that it’s so versatile; I have it in so many different meals! I especially love it in smoothies and often make yogurt bowls where I can put lots of fruit like raspberries, strawberries, nuts, seeds, and a bit of granola. It makes the perfect snack in between sessions.

- The fourth reason is that I need lots of calcium to help my bones recover from training and championship events, this product is especially good at helping me do that.

- The final reason is that for me, nothing compares to the Greek Recipe yogurt; the taste, texture, and just like all the products Yeo Valley makes – it’s absolutely incredible.

Thanks Charlie! You’ve definitely inspired us to put our Greek Recipe at the top of our shopping list! Keep an eye out for more content with Charlie (go Charlie, go!)
