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!

      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.
