seriously, why just why? life is too short for fake bacon.

to add to the list.. plain Greek yogurt. I choke it down but don't love it. I need to add honey to make it palatable.

I love healthy foods. You just have to know how to prepare them. Kale needs to be massaged with a bit of salt and olive oil. (Olive oil will not make you fat.) Brussels sprouts need to be roasted. Okra too.

Thanks to this thread, the kale I eat regularly tasted more chewy to me today.

I have never massaged my kale with olive oil, never heard of doing that until this thread. Interesting. But I did want to point out that olive oil does have a fair amount of calories in it and if you overuse it you will absolutely be getting excess calories in your diet.

^a cup of uncooked raw kale has about 33 calories. A tablespoon of olive oil has over 100 calories. So watch the olive oil!

Sardines.

The only good thing about sardines is the can. I get so much joy leaving an empty can in the common lunch area when no one is around, and listening to my colleagues complain about the smell. Sweet justice.

I think the chobani greek yogurt is way too tart. Try the giant non fat plain greek it's much better, only I'm always thirsty afterwards. I think most everyone needs to add fruit to their yogurt.

You know what makes plain Greek yogurt heavenly? Add non-alcohol based vanilla extract and a bit of whatever sweetener you like. Make sure the vanilla is alcohol free or you'll get a funky off-flavor.

And kale massagers, nothing takes away the aftertaste of kale. It's the aftertaste that creeps up on you.

Or just eat full fat sour cream?

NP, but why would you want to do this? Sour cream and yogurt have very different tastes? Or are you being snarky?

A little bit snarky... but mostly bcs US yogurt companies have took something nice and destroyed it. This post might have been influenced by my weekend shopping it Wegmans where I failed to find any yogurt with even remotely small amount of sugar. Even plain Greek yogurt had the same amount of sugar as Yoplait Whips. Here I was trying to get my teen DS yogurt he likes and it had more sugar than ice cream. Probably, because in my country, yogurt is very different than yogurt here, yogurt is almost liquid, and all yogurts here are more like sour cream in consistency but not in taste. Real, plain yogurt is awesome, I have no idea how to explain it, maybe think of Kefir, but a bit thicker to get the picture of what I called yogurt when growing up?

Plain whole milk yogurt, whether Greek-but-made-in-America or thin-from-your-country like you are accustomed to, has sugar in it, no matter where it is produced. That's because milk has sugar in it. A cup of plain whole cow's milk (3.25% fat) has 12.3 grams of sugar. Not added sugar, milk sugar. All milk has sugar in it. A cup of human breast milk has 17 grams of sugar.

Plain Greek or regular yogurt does not have the same amount of sugar as Yoplait whips; I think you must have misread the labels. According to the nutritional labels:

a 4 oz. container of Yoplait Greek 100 Whips, Blueberry flavor, has 12 grams of sugar, 9 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat. There is added sugar in this yogurt.

an 8 oz serving--so twice as much--of Plain Fage Nonfat Greek yogurt has 9 grams of sugar, 23 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat. There is no added sugar, this is all milk sugar.

And if you prefer "thinner" yogurt, an 8 oz serving (again, twice as much as in a Whips container) of Dannon plain nonfat yogurt has 15 grams of sugar, 10 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat. Again, no added sugar.

So eat a potato. They have more potassium.
