YOGURT!
I used to make my own yogurt all the time, in an insulated canister, a quart at a time. Now I buy it to save time since there are so many good ones to choose from (and because long ago my kids decided to turn the yogurt making insulator canister into a crayon container). I buy plain yogurt, usually fat free, and don't sweeten it. I prefer to mix things into it just before eating it, whatever I feel like having at the moment. Here are some of my favorites:
Yogurt, alcohol free vanilla flavoring and crunchy peanut butter
Yogurt, alcohol free almond flavoring and almond butter
Yogurt, alcohol free almond flavoring and Macadamia nut butter (love that one!)
Yogurt, a little fruit (strawberries and peaches are my two favorites), extra virgin olive oil, protein powder (enough to balance the carb in the fruit); almonds on the side
This next one is a tie with the vanilla peanut butter one for my most favorite:
Yogurt, alcohol free vanilla flavor and extra virgin olive oil
I've also added raw cacao powder to all of the above, my favorite brand is Navitas Naturals. Delicious!
Enjoy! |

Thank you sue.
I like the idea of adding peanut butter to yogurt.
Since I am new to this (starting this week only) could you please help me with the quantities?
For a 3 block meal : 1 1/2 cup of yogurt and 1 1/2 tsp of peanut butter, is that right? |

Hi m,
Yes, correct. If your yogurt is fat free, double the amount of peanut butter to 1 tablespoon. Enjoy! |

Hi all,
I have one question about yogurt. I eat yougurt everyday and it's my breakfast. I'm from Bulgaria and low fat yogurt here per 100gr. is: Proteins - 3.2gr., Carbohidrates - 4.2gr. and Fats - 2.0gr. It means that 1 block is equal to 200gr. or 1 cup but here you discussed 1 block of yogurt is 1/2 cup. Why? |

It's because not all yogurts have the same P, C and F composition. |

So, Emil, just go by your Yogurt's nutrition label. |

I have noticed the same with yogurt that has fat. It might be that the fat creates more volume because there is also more water volume as well. |
