TFT Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) That looks delicious what all is in there? Where do you get the granola? Edited February 21, 2023 by TFT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Well sure it's good, in most cases granola and yogurt are just sugar and fat, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampNut Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Awesome. It's so disheartening to see stuff pitched as a healthy alternative to junk, that has been junkified. "Made with real whole grains!" (And a pound of sugar and fat) I've found that the coconut-based yogurts actually pair up with a lot of things better than cow-based. Not everything, but most.

blackhawkxx Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 But what does it taste like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it tastes awesome, and the only carbs are from fruit. No added corn based crap sugar. Generally speaking if it tastes good it is not good for you. Sad.

SwampNut Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I mean, on a scale of pork rind 0 to broccoli 100, that's probably a 40, but you could do much worse. If you're trying to clean up, I'd look for sugar to be far lower on the list, maybe even replaced by things like date syrup, and fewer processed oils. Sam's and Safeway have a couple of granola options with very little processed sugar, oil, and salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Also, vanilla-coconut yogurt drops the cow juice problems, and I think it's actually creamier and tastier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXitanium Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 I like the vanilla, does the coconut taste a lot like coconut? I don't mind coconut but I'd hate to have to eat it every day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind coconut but I'd hate to have to eat it every day.. The flavored yogurt made from coconut don't taste like coconut. The totally unflavored one, you might be able to tell. I have a friend who hates coconut with a passion and says he can tell, but I made the mistake of telling him. When I use the coconut stuff in recipes, I make sure they are suitable. IE, as a cream for an Asian/Pacific/Mauritius meal, where coconut is sort of expected anyway. To me, the vanilla coconut is just awesome particularly with a good granola and dried fruits. (Again, check your dried fruits, because motherfuckers coat them with sugar, since it's subsidized and adds basically free weight and calories.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomek Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 It is garbage. They killed nutritional value by throwing sugar in it. Look for products without added sugar. Cereals have high calories and high carb content even without added sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Jesus H Christ, sugar is the second ingredient. This is why we are all fat and facing heart issues young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXitanium Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 I'm going back to the dishes of shame thread. ...kidding, my problem is I don't do the shopping. The fresh blueberries were fantastic. The granola did say cocoanut though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
