On the same episode of Sunday Morning I was intrigued to see a segment where Serena Altschul (remember her from MTV News?!) went to a Chobani cafe in NYC. Check this out. The pistachio yogurt with chocolate and mint looks ahmahzing.
During normal (read: non-Thanksgiving) weeks, I eat about five servings of Greek yogurt. It has a wallop of protein and very little sugar, which is exactly what I look for in my afternoon snack.
Of course, in my morning snack, I look for caffeine, chocolate, and a minimum of 1,000 calories, but a girl's gotta have some fun, right?
Anyway, you can get Greek yogurt at just about any grocery in town nowadays. I generally stick to Chobani or Fage, whichever is on sale. I always buy fat-free plain yogurt and add my own topping, if I have gotten myself together and planned ahead. I very rarely buy flavored yogurt. It's full of sugar and nonsense.
Serena Altschul also talks about Siggi's Icelandic yogurt (skyr, if you want to be technical.) This stuff is great, it has even more protein and has delicious and natural flavorings. I make an exception to my no flavors rule and splurge when I find Siggi's. I know that you can buy it at the Better Health Store on Clippert near Frandor, which is where I also like to buy my tempeh and Bob's Red Mill products when I am trying to be good and healthy and virtuous.
Then I eat these-

Peanut butter, I prefer it on a hot english muffin. Warm, melty, gooey delight. Chunky. I don't want pickles on a sandwich, but when I have my PB muffins, I often eat hot peppers with. I guess those count as pickles. other time I eat fresh hot peppers with the PB. The tang goes with the PB pretty well.
Enzo, I almost ate a PB&P sandwich yesterday, but I couldn't bite the bullet. Maybe this weekend.
Have you ever ground your own nut butter at Horrock's? The cinnamon PB is delicious. You can also do it easily at home in a food processor, if you're a go-getter (I'm not.)
