    Is there anything I could use to replace the Greek yogurt? I am not supposed to have dairy, it makes me really sick. I will use soymilk. Do you think using soy sherbert would make the consistency similar?

    I actually had this for breakfast this morning. I think the sherbert would work fine. I saw on pinterest that the yogurt could be replaced with a protein powder as well - it is really only there for consistancy (and bonus protein)

    Pretty tasty - I added a packet of splenda to mine.
