Yogurt

Portabello mushrooms are lovely drizzled with olive oil and some crushed garlic, baked in oven and then topped with some griddled halloumi cheese. Served with a salad and homemade coleslaw and a dash of hot sauce, its almost like having a burger in a bun. or as good as this low carber is going to get this side of Xmas.

Sounds very very nice, I don't like halloumi cheese so would replace it with Blue Stilton :)

If it's added to a 500g pot, I'm guessing that would be 4 or 5 servings. On that basis the 10g carb (from 2 sachets) would probably be fine. (Bet you never thought I'd be posting you a supportive message? ;))

I might be inclined to pick up some unsweetened cocoa powder, and if you need it, a jar of sweetener powder (I don't use it, so can't recommend a brand), and it'll work out a lot cheaper, and longer.

If you're trying to weave some fruit into all of that, your chocolate-ish mix, plus raspberries could be nice?
 
Just been in to my very big M&S food hall. They had 28 types of yoghurt, of which only 2 were full fat and unsweetened. Both types were sold out (after I bought the last 2 pots).

I will always go for full fat unsweetened Greek youghurt (highest available here is only 10%). Sometimes I will add a few frozen berries (e.g blueberries) and a tiny bit of liquid artificial sweetener. When the frozen berries have been in the youghurt for a few minutes, it will taste like a lovely icecream as the berries have somehow partly frozen the youghurt.

This is broken economics because the healthy stuff is *sold out* and the fake low fat stuff is on the shelves being marked down. Economics would be stocking the shelves with more full fat plain yoghurt because it's selling out. What this is is not economics but prejudices obscuring economics. These supermarkets are losing sales and losing money because they have bought into the low fat myth. More so than their customers have apparently.

I use Easi Yo

Either the fruit ones sweetened by stevia, or the full fat Greek ones.

Yum.

I use my Easiyo maker to make my own Greek Yoghurt - made with full fat UHT milk and dried full fat milk, plus a couple of tbsps of live yoghurt (usually I keep a couple of tbsps from the last batch) - strain through muslin - really creamy and easy peasy! If I want a fruit one...I just add my current favourite - blueberries or rhubarb (with sweetener), and maybe a squirt of agave nectar!
Delish!

That's why I use Easiyo. Always some in the cupboard takes 8 hours to make. start it at bed time and it's ready for fridge in the morning.

Im glad you have! I didn't eat lots about 5 teaspoons after my lunch. I have some cocoa powder and I have canderel and sweet and low sweetener. With what I have eaten today my blood has stayed quite level. High still but single figures finally!

Way to go Sarah!

Oh dear it's gonna take a long while to get used to this! What could I add to plain yoghurt to make it taste nicer?

Well, I'm convinced you would love it plain eventually but yes, it does take some getting used to. In the end you may find that you prefer it to any other kind. It happens...promise! It happened to me, I love my unsweetened unflavoured low carb yog now. Just divine :)
