I like to use the larger tubs to save money and I like to use the unsweetened kinds to reduce sugar consumption but that has left me with few choices- usually the So Delicious unsweetened vanilla but it only has about 1g of protein. Sooooo I thought well how about if I blend it with silken tofu in the food processor to add protein and quantity and it works great! I then have it with homemade granola and fruit for breakfast.
You're welcome! Now...keep in mind...David didn't love it, because it wasn't sweet enough for him, and while it's true (it's not sweet, because of NO sugar), I also ate it with blueberries, and I found it perfect! :)
Not a problem - I eat berries everyday and they're always in my fridge so that's a great suggestion and a way to eat even more berries. (Wasn't David "croissant" instead of "baguette"?)
LOL Good question. I think team croissant because it's so rare to have one that's made without animal products, but he's definitely a bread head! I think the yogurt thing...you gotta adjust your expectations, right? If he was used to a super sweet yogurt at one time, I think he still has that in his head.
I also like the Forager Greek Yogurt! It’s 10g protein (from rice) and no added sugar! Slightly higher in calories (but I’m breastfeeding a baby and a toddler so I don’t mind that…haha). Best part is it comes in a big 24oz tub! Love it in my overnight oats!
I haven’t had Kite Hill in so long! Gonna get some tomorrow— thanks for the tip. It’s actually fun being the same age as you (54) as you are always two weeks ahead of what I’m researching myself and it helps me sooo much. My teaching year started and I was just at the market buying a bunch of high protein healthy snacks to keep in my desk when people start putting chips and candy in the staff room. (Anything potato related — and fried— is my kryptonite.) I’ll add those yogurts to my classroom fridge. Keep these ideas coming — they’re wonderful! (And I’ll put up my amazon review shortly)
Appreciate the product suggestions. I've only heard of one so I'll check if we have the others in Canada. Currently drinking a smoothie with a scoop of protein powder 😉

Sooo brilliant Jennifer! I love it! (And welcome to the family! Grateful for your support!)
Happy to be here, thanks! And thank you for your valuable content- I’m excited to keep learning from you! :)
I'm going out and getting me some Kite Hill!! Thanks for the review, Colleen!
