What type of yogurt are you allowed in P2 friends? Can I have a fruit flavored one? I lent my book to a pal and I didn't understand what this site meant by artificially flavored yogurt! Thanks for your help lovies!
Right, and I know you know that they have to be sugar free. My personal favorite is Greek yogurt with my own fruit added, fresh or frozen. Yum. If you want it sweeter you can add whatever sweetener you use.
Okie - even the plain ones have sugar, because it's milk sugar. You can't really look at the sugar content, you need to look at the ingredient list.
My favorite is plain with frozen blueberries!
Here's what the requirements are for the flavored ones on Phase II.
"Yogurt - artificially sweetened non-fat flavored yogurt (limit to 4 ounces daily and avoid varieties that contain high fructose corn syrup)"
Very few yogurts come in 4 ounces sizes and don't contain added sugars. That's why I use plain yogurt and add flavoring &/or fruit on Phase II. Plus the big containers of plain yogurt are much cheaper.
I recently discovered that the walmart brand of light yogurt is sweetened with splenda! Yummy flavors too. Just be careful it is the light, the packaging is similar to the regular.
Can we eat too much dairy? I don't eat much yogurt, but I have been drinking alot of milk. More than 3 servings. It is fat free milk. I use it in my coffee and I also drink plain milk. I have found that a cup of milk with a bit a sf choc syrup makes a great desert!
I like greek yogurt too. I have found individual servings iwth fruit on the side. These work great for work! I have also found that I don't need the extra agave anymore. The fruit works just fine! Funny how our tastes change!
