    I usually mix in fresh fruit and chia seeds. What can I mix in to make it crunchier?

    Nuts, seeds, coconut chips, granola? (Calorie dense, so need to manage the portion.) Other toasted grain-type stuff, such as Grape Nuts? Crispy fruit, like cut-up apples?

    1 cup nonfat greek yogurt; 1/2 cup old fashioned oats; 1/4 cup Fairlife skim milk, almond milk or milk of choice; 1T chia seeds; small bit of sugar free syrup and a smidge of vanilla extract—stir well. Top w/1 cup of frozen blueberries and leave in fridge. I make 5 at a time for weekday breakfasts. They hold really well. Also, when I want a quick snack I add 2 T PB2 to 1 cup greek yogurt and 1/2 banana sliced—banana and peanut butter flavor!; alternative is 1 c plain greek yogurt + 1 cup grapes.

    Chobani Nonfat Greek Plain Yogurt, 1 cup 120 calories
    Smucker's All Fruit Strawberry Jelly, 2 tbsp 80 calories
    Post Grape Nuts Cereal, 4 tbsp 100 calories

    Layer in parfait glass or in a bowl: 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 tbsp jelly, 2 tbsp Grape Nuts and repeat. If I have extra calories left over for the day, I sometimes drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup on top.

    Organic granola with chocolate pieces and cherries. I always buy a pound every couple weeks from WinCo. Little expensive but worth it

    If you’ve got a Lidl near you, their chocolate coconut chips are simply fantastic. I brought a sack with me traveling and sprinkle them on yogurt. Doesn’t matter if they get crushed. I’d do it anyway. The small sack lasts me a couple weeks. Also beats eating chips and pretzels in the plane, and having extra salt-swell afterwards.

    Has anyone said to make a dressing? Goddess or Ranch? for the goddess, mix a bunch of basil and parsley, lemon juice or vinegar, and fresh garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper and greek yogurt. For the ranch, add ranch powder or italian dressing powder. Blend in the blender with a small bit of water.

    It's Pumpkin Season! My favorite breakfast - Vanilla nonfat Greek yogurt with canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. I sometimes get fancy and crumble 1/2 a graham cracker on top. High protein, low fat & carbs.
    Another option is 1/2 c. plain Greek yogurt mixed with a scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1/4 c. canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice.

    I've recently discovered adding dried fruit such as goji berries or raisins. I like the chewy texture they get when chilled by the cold yoghurt.

    I make my own yogurt with kefir wich is stronger on flavor.
    On the side I make a smothie with papaya, apricot, green apple, almonds, moringa powder and collagen powder.Add a little bit of water and ice to blend. When the smothie is ready, combine 50/50 with the yogurt. Is delicious, like to do that dor breakfast before work. Keep me full for longer period and is yummy. If you like it more sweet can add a little bit of raw honey. 😋

    I use an unsweetening coco based yogurt (walmart has it). I add blueberries, raspberries, cinnomon.

    @dannytrees1 My family and I pick summer berries and freeze them to have with our yogurt all year long.

    I warm up about 1 cup berries and top with 8-10oz kirkland non fat greek yogurt, depending on how much protein I want (24g-30g protein).

    Added nut butter helps with satiation, or if I'm having this for dessert, I will top it with a few tablespoons of whipped cream. It tastes like a cheesecake dessert!
