Greek yogurt add-ins



Recommended Posts

Let's start a new thread! What kind of things do you like to put in your Greek yogurt to amp up the flavor or what do you like to use it as instead of something else?

I just discovered Greek yogurt+ adding to taste a flavor Water packet (cherry limeade, yum!).

This may sound weird, but in the early days post surgery when I didn't want super sweet stuff, I would flavor my greek yogurt with ground ginger and a touch of splenda. Yummy! Plus, ginger is a natural remedy to help soothe nausea and indigestion :)

I put blueberries in mine if it vanilla flavored. I really just like mine like it is. Sometimes I will put some granola or some honey bunches of oats Cereal in it if I want crunchy.

A fellow poster turned me onto this one. I love it:

Plain Greek with cinnamon and a packet of trivia. Reminds me of apple pie!

I add low fat special k granola in mine everyday. It makes it not such a slider with crunch. It is one of the things I refused to give up.

A few dark chocolate chips or a bite size candy bar are for the days when I'm feeling like a little treat! Kicks the sweet craving and I still get my protein!

Chia seeds or flax seeds or sunflower seeds, for some crunch and Fiber. I ALWAYS buy Fage Greek yogurt because I think it tastes the very best, and they sell it packaged with a separate mix-in like cherries, or blueberries, or honey. It's only 17 carbs with their mix-ins, and I usually only use about 1/2 or less. Honey is my favorite, but the seeds are a must for me!

I don't add in anything as they are already flavored or come with granola. I do use them in my Protein Shakes.< /p>

Just tried this tonight and OMG it was heaven. I had Greek yogurt that a little mix in side of cherries. I scooped out the plain yogurt, added a very chocolatey Protein Powder, stirred until it was like pudding, and topped it with a little of the cherry mixture. Tons of Protein, still low on carbs, and what a yummy, yummy treat! I suppose you could do it with any flavored protein powder ... So, so good, I don't know why I never did this before!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
