Last week I decided I was due for a nice long walk. The weather was perfect... light breeze, a few clouds. I strolled into the store and grabbed some of my favorite yogurt and proceeded home. Once I stepped through the front door I was feeling pretty good so I decided to have a small dish of yogurt. I popped off the lid, removed the seal, dished out a few large spoonfuls into a bowl and took a taste...
"UGH! WHAT THE HELL???"
(seriously... I yelled this)
In my blissful venture to the supermarket, my brain must've totally shut off because at that moment I came to the realization that this was PLAIN Greek Yogurt as opposed to the Fat-Free Vanilla that I enjoy so much.
Rather than try to stomach what was in the bowl, I looked quickly for an alternative. In the refrigerator were leftover pineapple slices and I noticed an unopened bag of frozen strawberries in the freezer. Bingo!
So I concocted this:
1 cup PLAIN (uy...) Fat-Free Greek Yogurt
5 frozen strawberries (Walmart-brand, no sugar added)
2 Dole pineapple slices (in 100% pineapple juice)
Baking Splenda (the flaky stuff, I used 2 tsp equivalent to two packets)
A bit of the pineapple juice from the slices
A few drops of Real Vanilla extract
Place the above in a blender, on highest speed until smooth. Pour in a glass and enjoy!
It was quite good! Zero fat, less than 200 calories and 22g protein. I could still taste the yogurt, but it was complimented well by the fruit. I used this to finish off the large carton of yogurt by treating myself to a smoothie each day.
