Oikos Greek Yogurt



Recommended Posts

I live on this.... Oikos or Chibani. Plain' date=' fat free. I mix it with Soup to make it creamy and boost the protein.[/quote']

Sounds like a great idea! I'm loving all the tips on how to boost Protein. I was worried I wouldn't get enough but everyone has such clever (and tasty) ideas!

Can't stand the taste of greek yogurt. Kudos to you for being able to eat it. I skip yogurt all together...

Ugh I can't stand it either! But I have never been a yogurt eater! Change in habits are so hard to make!

I made the BEST Greek yogurt dessert dish that is packed with protein:

12 Strawberries, chopped

2 single serve cups frozen Dole Blueberries

1 container Blackberries

1 tub sugar free cool whip

1 package sugar free Cheesecake pudding mix

2 cups Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt

1 scoop vanilla Protein Powder (I use nectar brand)

Mix the yogurt and pudding mix with a mixer until well combined. Add Protein powder and mix again. Blend in the cool whip. Carefully stir in the fruit. That's it!

I can eat 4 oz of this as a meal so the macronutrients are for a 4 oz serving: 111 calories, 2.5 grams fat, 15.5 carbs (4.6 grams sugar), 6.7 grams protein.

Next time I make it I am going to try doubling the protein powder. It would make the protein go up to 13.4. Then I could have it more as a "meal" and less as a "treat". It really tastes fantastic and has helped kick my craving for something sweet!

My wife and I both love the Oikos! Probably not a good idea until your weight loss has stabilized a little (because of the carbs) but after that if you like Greek yogurt it's the best one we've found.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
