No-added-sugar version: 254 kcal and 9.6 g sugars per serving.

Values are for the first option listed in the ingredients; substitutions and variations change them. Carbs exclude fiber; energy uses the EU conversion factors (fiber at 2 kcal/g).

Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Creamy vanilla with pieces of cookie inside.

Rico's note: When the fridge is empty but there's one of these pints in the freezer, Friday dinner is taken care of.

Ingredients

  • 200 g (7 oz) low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 180 ml (¾ cup) reduced-fat milk
  • 50 g (1¾ oz) vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (4 g)
  • 6 g sugar — or 1 tsp honey; no added sugar: 18 g erythritol or granulated stevia
  • salt — a pinch
  • 25 g (1 oz) oat cookies, broken into pieces — mix-in

This recipe uses half the sugar because protein powder is usually sweetened: taste the mix and, if it needs it, add more, up to 13 g in total. In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.

Method

  1. Blend the yogurt, milk, protein powder, vanilla, sugar and salt until you have a smooth cream.
  2. Pour into the pint container without going past the MAX line and smooth the surface.
