Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Pretty complete food there! I usually add fruit to my greek yogurt to raise the carb count.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 And for anyone who can't find Greek yogurt my friend from Lebanon taught me how to make the high protein Greek yogurt from regular yogurt: Lay a flour sack (you can get at any bed bath beyond type store) over a colander and set the colander in a larger kettle (be sure that the colander hangs several inches higher than the kettle bottom so the liquid can drain through). Add the yogurt (I use Horizon organic plain yogurt) on the flour sack in the colander and fold the ends over to cover the yogurt. Set in frig overnight and wahlah! You have high protein Greek yogurt. I guess a lot of the carbs are in the whey ladened liquid. Another friend from Egypt tells me the liquid is sublime when added to homemade tomato soup!! (International friends have definitely improved my quality of life!!) Hope that helps someone. Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hi CS, I love it too - it's one of my favorite things. I get mine at Trade Joes, it's about $2.69 for 2.5 servings. An interesting fact is that once the whey has been drained it does lose a lot of the calcium. I would think it would be a math problem. If a pre-strained container has 60 grams of protein, once the whey is strained off, it should still have 60 grams. Divide the total protein by the new number of servings and you'll have a higher per serving value of protein. Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
