Hi Everyone,
I am one of the vegetarians in the group...and I love love LOVE dairywhich can be a problem. I have a couple suggestions- and would love to hear more if anyone has any.
1) Dessert tofu- few calories, not too much in the sugar realm, and you get a sweet that has some protein. Lots of flavours- coconut, mango, crème brulee...Here is the breakdown for coconut: 85 gr serving; 60 cal; fat 1gr; sodium 5mg; carbs 10 gr; protein 3gr. IGA and most stores stock these, T&T has a great selection.
2) Greek style yogurt- super creamy and still 0% fat. Good for breakfast and adding to smoothies to thicken and add a creamy taste. You can even sub it for sour cream. Breakdown: 175 gr serving; 110 cal; 0.4 gr fat; sodium 95gr; carbs 6gr; protein 20 gr. Costco has a good deal on these- it can be pretty expensive in regular stores.
Thanks for your enthusiasm Michelle!

Hi Eva:
ReplyDeleteI love, love dairy as well and there is alot of wonderful products out there. A favourite is "Saugeen Country Yogurt"! Now it's not fat-free but additive free and tastes like heaven. Because there are no additives to keep it's thickness the water tends to sometimes separate but it has a less bitter taste than most yogurts.
Another favourite is "Okanagan Goat Feta" from Happy Days Dairies. It's nice and creamy and much less saltier than most feta cheeses.
These two fantastic products can be found at Caper's Whole Foods on 4th Ave.
