    That sounds really unsatisfying to me. Not much food for a big caloric, sugar filled bang. Plus I don't do sweet meals. I'm a lover of all things savory.

    But - if you're the complete opposite of me, it would probably be great!

    I tried mixing sugar-free chocolate pudding into Greek yogurt once. Someone told me it tasted like ice cream. What they failed to mention was that instant pudding was a poor choice that would turn the yogurt into a paste.

    I've put pudding mix in greek yogurt before, and never had it turn pasty. Did you put in too much of the powder?

    Entirely possible! I think it wasn't chocolatey enough for me. Or I should've used vanilla instead of plain?

    I've never done this but do you think maybe doing a hot chocolate mix would work just the same?? That doesn't have thickeners and would add a nice flavor!

    Yes. I do during the summer months at work. I put cereal in mine. Was doing the granola but even though it was tasty a heck there were a few too many calories involved.

    I feel like in the summer, lighter meals are better for me only because the humidity and heat where I live bothers my stomach! But cereal is defeinitely a great option! I should try putting the Special K Fruit and Yogurt in there.. It has clusters of yogurt covered fruit! YuM!

    Um...that sounds amazing. Try it and let me know!

    I sometimes eat one Light and Fit Vanilla Yogurt (From Dannon, only 80 calories!) and I mix about a quarter of a cup of Plain Special K Cereal into it (30 calories!). I'll do that for breakfast, and sometimes lunch. Personally, it fills me up a lot more than I ever thought it would.

    So I just googled it to see if it was even possible or good tasting and it was mentioned on a morning talk show as "protein pudding". You mix 6oz of nonfat plain greek yogurt with one package of low fat hot chocolate mix and it turns into pudding! YUM!
