[quote=Anonymous]I truly hate yogurt. Will never ever eat it with a spoon.

But it turns out I actually like smoothies made with plain Greek yogurt. (Plain is key - any flavored yogurt has a ton of added sugar. 😔)

My doctors gave me focused on high protein/ low carb. So I don’t include sugar, bananas, or any other fruit except strawberries in moderation (low carb). If your doctor says you’re ok with carbs, you have a lot more options.

Here’s my go-to:

PLAIN Greek yogurt + chocolate protein drink + mint extract + a few ice cubes

Sometimes I drop the mint and add PB2 (powdered peanuts - no extra oil/fat) or coffee instead of half the chocolate protein drink.

If you want extra fruit flavor without the added sugar in fruit yogurt (or natural sugar/carbs of actual berries, consider fruit-flavored Stevia drops. Not 100% natural, but my doctor said it’s the best sweetener she can recommend - will not spike your blood sugar and can be used to add sweetness and flavor.)

Again, I say all this as someone who has always HATED yogurt. But plain Greek yogurt is so high in easy protein that I forced myself to figure out a solution. Glad I did.

Next project: Figuring out how to work in cottage cheese. My doctor said it’s another fantastic source of low carb, low calorie protein.

Looking at it completely grosses me out (curds 🤮) but I’m hoping to just dump it in a blender without looking and combine it with something that makes it palatable. Sweet? Savory? Any recommendations??? [/quote]
