What To Mix With Greek Yogurts (Plain Or Vanilla)



Recommended Posts

So basically I eat greek yogurt EVERY DAY for Breakfast (and I love it!) I usually buy the one's with the fruit on the bottom and add a little granola. My DBF made the suggestion to get the big tub of either the plain or vanilla and add whatever to it.

Any suggestions?

Add fresh fruit. Blueberries and strawberries are good!

maybe some splenda for sweetness, or the sugar free jams would be good mixed in, kind of like the fruit on the bottom.

I agree with the above post also try pumpkin puree with cinnamon or applesauce with cinnamon. By switching to plain you will save yourself a lot of unwanted sugars.

My nutritionist told me to avoid the ones with fruit already in the because they have about 17g sugar. I mix peaches packed in Water (drained) or I mix my Protein Powder in it. I prefer ricotta cheese over Greek yogurt. It stays with me longer.

I just started adding chopped strawberries to mine and thought to myself, why didn't I do this before! Yum! I do buy a yogurt from Ralphs called CarbMaster. It is their brand and though it's not greek yogurt it has 8 grams of Protein and only 60 calories.

I add the plain to Soups, cheese sauce as a topping on anything you might put sour cream on its lower cal and higher Protein. I use it a lot in liquid and Soft stages to increase protein. A little in broth ( my dr approved before check with yours). During the clear liquid stage ; added a lot of flavor and protein.

Almost every morning during the work week, I have plain greek yogurt (which I get in two large tubs at costco for $4) with some frozen berries and about a tsp of agave drizzled on top. By the time I get to work, the berries have defrosted, but kept the yogurt cold at the same time. It is the perfect breakfast!

Also, if you're in need of a chocolate fix...it is really good mixed with some cocoa powder and either stevia, splenda, or agave...to cut out the bitterness.

I just add to taste...there are not very many calories in straight-up cocoa powder, and zero in both stevia and splenda, so it doesn't add too many extra calories

I like mine plain with walnuts, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, some chia seeds and a drizzle of honey. Grain free "muesli". Really yummy and it gets me through the morning. Sometimes I defrost berries overnight and add those in too.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
