I eat Fage nonfat or 2% plain Greek yogurt, add cinnamon to it and then put in about a cup of fresh blueberries with some chopped walnuts. I use the plain because then I can get my carbs/sugar from the berries and the nuts give me the crunch, and the cinnamon just makes everything taste better.0

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?0 -
Oikos is good stuff. I eat it as a snack. 4oz of plain greek yogurt with a 100 calorie pack of almonds. 170 calories. Just a snack.0
-
Yes, the 100 cal packs of those cocoa roasted are a great deterrent from eating more than I should!
Doesn't dry pudding mix have thickeners in it? So when added to already thick Greek yogurt. . .yeah, I could see paste happening.0 -
So I took everyones advice and cut back on the 1/2 cup of granola I was going to use and substituted it for 1/4 cup of old fashioned oats with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Unfortunately, it still brought me up a lot in carbs, but lowered the sugar!0

This is one of my favorite breakfasts loaded with protein, calcium, and anitoxidants:
Mix together in a bowl:
Body Fortress - Super Advanced Whey Isolate Protein Vanilla Cream, 0.75 scoop
Diamond of California - Slivered Almonds (one tablespoon)
Dannon - Light N Fit Greek Vanilla Yogurt - 2x Protein (one single serve container)
Great Value - No Calorie Sweetener, 3 packet
Blueberries - Raw, 0.5 cup
In another bowl mix together and microwave for about 5 min:
Quaker - Old Fashion'd Oatmeal, 1/4 cup
Nature's Earthly Choice - Chia Ancient Grains
Blue Diamond - Almond Breeze - Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk - 30 Calories, 0.5 cup
Kretschmer - Wheat Germ ~ Original Toasted, 1 T (14g)
Combine the two into one bowl of fruity, crunchy, creamy deliciousness.
The entire recipe has 436 calories, 0 sat. fat, 55 calcium, 49 carbs, 46 protein, 207 of sodium. This is a great post-run recovery breakfast or a great one to have before your run!0 -
One of my favorites. This is a filling meal.0

I eat plain, non-flavored Greek yogurt with a touch of honey and some fresh fruit almost every morning. It keeps me full until lunch and sometimes even longer! I'd leave out the granola but, other than that, I think that sounds like a great, filling, quick meal for you0

Try this :

I love the taste and the fruits in there !
It doesn't have too many calories and it does fill you up
Plus it's cheap compares to other Greek yogurts0 -

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?0 -

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!0 -
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.0

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!0 -

Um...that sounds amazing. Try it and let me know!0 -
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.0

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!0
