Good news!!! Wal-Mart is now selling Oikos Greek Yogurt. It is AWESOME! My cherub, this post is for you....you said it was blog worthy! :)
This stuff is amazing! Really. Check out the breakdown:
Calories: 130
Fat: 0
Carbs: 9 (sugars)
Protein: 22g
Do you see that ladies????? 130 glorious creamy custard calories and 22 grams of protein. If you are like me, you didn't eat yogurt much b/c it was low protein and high sugar or when I did eat it, I would mix protein it...no need with this yummines. This stuff has 9 grams of lactose sugar and tons of great natural goodies like live active cultures. And you can get it at your local Wal-Mart in the yogurt section - but, let me warn you, they don't carry a lot so find out when they get their deliveries and buy all you can!! What can you do with this goodness? 1. Use it in your shakes. 2. Make dip - it is plain so you can add ranch for a yummy dip. 3. Add vanilla and splenda and sliced strawberries. 4. Use it in cheesecake (I am going to make a cheesecake this weekend and will let you know how it goes).
I love hummus. Like LOVE it. But, what is the best thing to eat hummus with? Chips, of course. Chips not so good for what I am trying to achieve so here is what I did:
Jessica's Pepperoni Chips
Turn oven to 425
17 Turkey Pepperoni slices
Spread slices out on cookie sheet and cook for 10-12 minutes or until crispy
Let cool and use like chips
The pepperoni slices have 70 calories in 17 pepperonis and 10 grams of protein - 3.5 grams of fat. :) Dip those bad dads in the hummus and you have a fairly healthy snack. High sodium and you have to be careful not to eat too much of the hummus but I was in heaven.
Happy Monday everyone!

P.S. Was gonna take tonight off from working out but I said to myself: "Self - you are NOT going to get ripped taking a night off" so I worked out. And I feel great. My biceps are blowed up!

Tressa - this months Oxygen is pretty awesome! :) I am so excited that they are finally adding content back to their mag.
Cathy - I LOVE Oikos - and I haven't tried it in my pancake/waffle but watch out - I am gonna.
And Haley - I don't know WHY you haven't found me yet! :) But so glad you have and WELCOME! Oikos is the SAME as Fage but you can buy it at Wal-Mart! Yeah! The only place I can find Fage is at the local health food store which I only go to once a month! As for competing, I am considering a show this year but not sure. Trying to get right with me first! :)
