Protein drink mix-ins

I'm using Chobani Greek yogurt. It has 9 grams of sugar per 8oz serving. You won't be able to fit in 8ozs at one time. Therefore you're not getting all 9 grams at one time.

Thanks. That's the one I found. My NUT's guide had a recipe using nonfat/nonsugar yogurt. I wanted to use Greek due to higher Protein. I was surprised how high the sugar is in some brands. My NUT has some out of date info in her guide so I've given her some info to add (web links, etc.). She also tells us to use calcium citrate but then lists Calcium carbonate products. Citrate is much better absorbed by us. I knew her when she worked at the hospital I work at and her practice is more focused on diabetes vs WLS.

Every surgeons has different guidelines. Some say no more than 10 grams of sugar per serving. Mind says no more than 6. It's crazy.
