However, a couple years ago I discovered Greek yogurt and my world changed. Finally, I found a yogurt I liked! However, there is only one way that I like it. I buy the plain non-fat Greek yogurt and mix in 1 splenda, cinnamon, blueberries and 2 tablespoons of granola. I probably eat this 2 times a week or so, either for breakfast or for a light lunch and the weight watchers point value comes out to only 4 points for the whole thing.
A couple of weeks ago when food shopping I was picking up my few containers of Chobani plain yogurt and I saw that they had a new flavor - apple cinnamon. I decided to give it a try.
Turns out, this flavor is AMAZING. This variety is non-fat as well but the point value for the yogurt is 3 points, instead of the plain which is 2 points. Most people would be fine with that because you'd just eat the yogurt. However, I need crunch. That was always my problem with yogurt - it's just so blah because there is no texture. That's why I always add granola and blueberries to the plain yogurt, to give it some added textures. For my first couple containers of this new yogurt I still added my 2 tablespoons of granola, but then the point value for the whole thing went up to 5 points. I wanted to figure out a way to keep it at 4 points.
Enter Fiber One 80-Calorie cereal. I bought this cereal a couple of weeks ago and wasn't too impressed. If you doctor it up enough with bananas and cinnamon it's OK for breakfast, but I just wasn't a huge fan. However, mixed in with this yogurt it is a perfect accompaniment! The cereal has 2 points in 3/4 cups, so I've been measuring out 1/4 cup of the cereal into small containers and bringing them to work with me to add to the yogurt.
I also add just a little extra cinnamon to the yogurt since I really like cinnamon. This makes a very satisfying and light breakfast, and it is only 4 points!
I'll have to look for this flavor. I also didn't care for the fiber one-80 calorie cereal. But the original fiber one may make a good addition to the yogurt.
