Yogurt, yogurt...

[thistlechaser]

Breakfast shouldn't be this hard! And I need to read labels BEFORE I leave the store...

Since I disliked my last brand of Greek yogurt (though I'm still eating it daily for breakfast), when I saw Yoplait had a Greek yogurt as well, I decided to try it.

My reason for eating Greek yogurt is because it's healthier.

Yoplait's version of it has MORE sugar than its non-Greek version (18 grams vs 14 grams), and yet somehow it tastes even worse than the brand I had been eating previously.

Ugh. I'm starving, and this yogurt is both gross and not good for me, and it's hours until lunch. I have a tiny little apple (littlest apple I've ever seen, from the farmer's market) and a couple almonds. I'm going to starve before lunch!

I'm trying to feel bad for you, but THAT ICON. It's so cute!!!!! *Melts into a little pool of squee*

Anyway, this is a big reason why I've never liked yogurt. Try filling up yer belly with some water to carry you through till lunch. It sometimes works for me.

I'm glad you like it! I need to cycle through my different icons more. :D

And doing the water trick, yep! Worse comes to worst I can hit up our free office snacks, but they're all candy and stuff, so I'd rather not.

not that this helps you now, but you should try making your own yogurt.

pretty much just take some yogurt (with live cultures) from a previous batch, stick it into a pot of milk, leave it covered & untouched in a warm spot for 6-10 hours, and voila. (ok, there's a little bit more involved; mostly to sterilize stuff as best you can & to avoid aluminum; but to be honest, i do very little)

then you can add whatever you want to it. you can also change the portion size more easily.

Sounds interesting! Maybe one day I'll try doing this. :)

I'm sure there's a cantaloupe joke here, but I'll resist :P

Comments about flesh coloured flesh and puns on their alternative name (rockmelons) were sure to follow.

Ack, I am sorry you are stuck starving.

Have you tried Fage or Chobani? Fage has a slightly smoother taste but I usually get Chobani for the extra protein. I either buy the ones with fruit included or I buy the plain and add fruit or granola/pecans in as I can't eat any of them plain.

Chobani is the one I had! It was the only option at the store I went to (Sprouts). I'll keep an eye open for Fage!

Mmm, good idea to add granola. I'll try that next time I buy some!

And no worries on being hungry, I've now eaten lunch! :D
