Looking for something good to mix in with my yogurt. I eat the small yogurt containers, so I would probably only use about a tablespoon or so of it- I'm looking for something (probably a cereal or granola) that is nice and crispy and in small pieces just to add a little crunch to my yogurt- and I love, love, love cinnamon :love: so something cinnamon would be awesome! Any suggestions? I'd like something relatively low in calorie, but since I'm using such a small amount of it, that's not *too* important.

Thanks :flowerforyou:

    Try taking around 3 squares of cinnimon life cereal and crumbling them over your yogurt (3/4 of a cup of the cereal has 120 cals so 3 squares would have very little in them) maybe about 10 calories. :flowerforyou:

    If you need more protein at the the same time a little TVP works very well in yogurt.

    Textured Vegetable Protein

    Its mostly used for vegetarians as a meat subtitute and meant to be rehydrated if you use it that way.
    You can get it in a few different sizes.. go for the smallest one (about the size of granola) if you want to use it in yogurt and make sure you aren't getting a flavoured one cause they are high in sodium.
    They come in flavours like chicken and beef I guess to make it taste more like meat?? I haven't tried the flavoured ones, I just know they exist.

    Its not meat flavoured if you get the unflavoured...lol
    However since it is generally used as a meat substitute they do have them available in meat flavours.
    And no.. I wouldn't suggest the meat flavoured ones for your yogurt either...lol

    If you're going for crispy, crunchy, and cinnamon, I'd say the cinnamon honey bunches of oats seems to fit that description perfectly. I've even sliced up apples, drizzled them with honey, and rolled them in this cereal. Sooo good...:love:

    P.S.~If you're super diligent about watching the calories, there's a cinnamon special K as well.
