Yogurt

[lindiloo62]

Quick question? Can I have coconut greek yogurt or does it need to be plain???

Check the label, or look it up on the Internet. (I can tell you for sure that maple-flavored Greek yogurt is high-carb, as I found out a few days ago when I bought it by mistake!)

Check the label. If it looks ok try it and note your bg response to it. I use greek style yoghurt regularly and am fine with it. Havn't tried the cocnut version so will be interested in seeing your response. Bon Apetit!

Is it the full fat version?

 

[lindiloo62]

Yes full fat and 13gms carbs per 100gms!!!

Ooooooo that is a lot of carbs for a yogurt. The plain full fat Greek ones are much lower, and you can add a couple of strawberries or raspberries for sweetness.

I really can't get away with the plain stuff. How many carbs do you have per day??

Not even with some lovely strawberries chopped up in it?

I eat to what my meter tells me is my limit within the target range I set for myself. If you set yourself some targets and use your meter to stay within those most of the time, you won't go far wrong.

Thank you

Fresh or frozen berries in plain Greek full fat yogurt are wonderful

I also add 100% dark chocolate discs and Brazil’s

I sprinkle a bit of Splenda over natural yoghurt and have it as a pudding most days with some sugar-free strawberry jelly.

I make my own yoghurt - apart from being a little sharp without sweetener, it's absolutely delicious and really creamy. Sometimes I strain it (half an hour in a sieve lined with 2 sheets of kitchen roll, over a bowl) and serve it (without sweetener, this time) on top of low carb chocolate mousse - it cuts through the chocolatiness and refreshes things nicely.

I sometimes mix thick cocnut milk with yogurt for a coconutty nit. Beware tho not all coconut milks are created equal and can vary massively in the amount of cocnut they contain. I use this one

About 30g in my case, similar to @Bluetit1802 (stated in signature). Impossible to tell whether that is appropriate for you though. I eat two tablespoons of plain, low-fat Greek yogurt with breakfast but could easily add a small quantity of berries.

I add desiccated coconut to full fat Greek yogurt - 7 percent carbs and about 3 percent carbs - far lower than the premixed one.

Mixed seeds mixed in are surprisingly satisfying.

Almonds and Lemon juice. Nice...

Hiya! If it helps I can point in the direction of total 2% Greek yogurt. I usually have around 200g with a hand full of blueberries for breakfast and it doesn’t usually spike my bloods up xxxx
