Pomegranate Cherry Protein Creme

Greek Yogurt is such a multifunctional protein-packed powerfood! You can use to for everything; from baking, to savory, to sweet, to sauces, thickening, stirbfys, in baked goods, in cakes, toppings, as ice cream, dips, spreads, salads, cassaroles, soups, smoothies, pies... name it, and it will work. It has a great texture like full fat sour cream, but has a wonderful, creamy tang to it.
Here is a recipe using some Crystal Light I had left over, a packet of sweetener, and a spoon!

Pomagranate Cherry Protein Creme

Feel free to use this as a topping for a dessert, with granola/cereal/ on its own!

You will need:

1 (or more) containers of GreekYogurt (I used a 500 gram tub of Liberte)

Your favorite flavor of drink crystals (I used Crystal Light Dark Pomegranate Cherry but you can use whatever you want- even juice or tea will work).

A packet of your favorite sweetener or honey (I used 1 packet of sweet and low)

Instruction:

First, decide on what flavor you want. I usually do desert flavors (caramel, chai, chocolate, cookies, toffee etc), but fruit ones are fantastic!

1. Make sure your yogurt is sufficiently chilled. Take it out of the fridge and open.

2. Add your sweetener and stir it in. I had to remove some of my yogurt from the container so I could thoroughly mix in through out. I also like to leave little chunks in the yogurt, because it is so thick.

3. Sprinkle on, or add your drink powder/tea/juice.

4. Stir

5. Add more to taste and keep stirring it in! Feel free to add any add ins you want for crunch or taste (berries, granola, crackers, cookies, cereal, toast, cauliflower, steamed carrots etc)

 

5. ENJOY

* Feel free to add some protein powder to this as well! I usually do this, or add protein cakes/muffins to it!

It is billowy, creamy, amazing tasting and has about 36 grams of protein, no fat, no added sugar! Nutrabolics Isobolic in raspberry yogurt would be fantastic, as would strawberry banana, banana, strawberry, mint mocha, mocha, cinnamon oatmeal etc.

Recommendation: I made one with some Tangerine Crystal Light, and it tasted like a Orange Creamsicle!!

Greek Yogurt Cream Cheese Icing Dessert

Greek Yogurt Protein Cream Cheese Icing Dessert

I had a strong craving for something silky, dense and dessert like the other day. I had a "need to consume asap" tub of Greek Yogurt, which I decided to incorporate into my nightly dessert. The result? HEAVEN.

It tasted like Cream Cheese Frosting on Carrot cake, and the GG Scandinavian Bran Crispbread make it even more dessert like. Thick, rich and satisfying! ENJOY:

Ingredients:

- Greek Yogurt (I used Liberte 0% m.f - review to come)

- GG Scandinavian Bran Crispbread (their Sprinkles would work as well- feel free to use any bran/fiber based biscuit/cookie or cereal- Graham or Arrowroot cookies would be fantastic, Protein Cakes: Anything dry.)

- Maple Extract

- Sugar Free Pancake Syrup

-Sugar Free Davinci (I used Sugar Free Coconut and Vanilla) (Torani or any other sf  would work)

- Sweetener

- Cinnamon

- PGX GRANULES (key for thickening it up)

-Spoon!

Mix the yogurt with the sweetener, cinnamon, Maple extract, a few crumbled Bran Crispbreads/cookies. Add PGX Granules and SF Syrup. STIR. The consistency should be a little more runny than regular Greek Yogurt as the PGX Granules expand and absorb the moisture (add 1/2scoop or more depending on how much liquid you are adding).

Throw into fridge and wait about 5-15min (or more depending on how long you can hold out!). Keep adding Syrup, PGX etc until you reach the consistency. The longer you let it sit, the thicker and richer it will be. Add remaining crackers/cookies/protein cakes etc.

ENJOY. Top with more Cinnamon, nut butter, protein powder icing etc if you want.

Chocolate Fiber Protein Pudding revisited

Today's Protein Fiber Pudding:

35 grams
Chocolate Whey Protein Isolate
50 grams Renew Life Fibersmart
1 packet  sweetener
water

Today I went for a chocolate flavor, and increased the Fibersmart. I used Allmax Isoflex Chocolate Isolate protein (GREAT COMPANY AND PRODUCTS). Another fantastic Chocolate is Iso Sensations 93 Chocolate Fudge, Promansil by Rivalus (fantastic, and has goat easy to digest protein in it as well) and BIO X Power Whey Isolate (they have some of the highest quality and best tasting proteins around!).

Again, this was a Nutritionally packed, high protein, high fiber, filling and dessert like start to my day. I highly recommend trying this (adding sugar free syrup makes it even better).
