I noticed this morning the protein store on-line has peach and strawberry yogurt! The pictures look fab...but has anyone tried them yet? Kind of pricey too!

That's not an Ideal Protein product - it actually looks like it's the Healthsmart brand protein yogurt that has been Private-Labeled. I heard that some of the online IP suppliers were starting to sell alternative products, that definitely is the case here.

Nashua Nutrition sells them for $2.50 each, or $15 per six. The Protein Store is selling them for $10 more.

Ironically, this yogurt has whey in it, which spikes insulin a lot more than natural Greek yogurt where all the lactose has fermented and the whey has been drained.

Ohh.....that is interesting! I did not even notice that it was not IP. Interesting! Thank you!

Most IP products (if not soy) are whey protein, as well

Yes, I know. But whey seems to spike insulin. Probably not as much as glucose would. I came upon it when I tried to figure out why IP does not allow yogurt. Regular yogurt has plenty of whey. The overall effect of whey is beneficial. It just may not fit precisely into IP's theory.

This blog has it a bit more dramatic.

These were some random, published studies I could find:
http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/82/1/69.abstract
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23077192
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23057765
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22995389

And a hint that whey amino acids also more directly affect glucose uptake. So it may not just go through gluconeogenesis.

Anyhow, this would affect ketosis, as glycogen stores would be replenished if you consume too much whey. Probably at the levels of IP, this is not a big problem. It just shows things are not always that easy.

I have tried the Strawberry kind. It wasn't too bad. It had sort-of a fake sugary taste at first, but it was very nice to have something similar to yogurt. I actually just bought a few more.... The only thing that is a little weird is it doesn't need to be refrigerated. I put mine in the fridge anyway and ate cold.
