 great idea to add crystal lite to greek nf yogurt.  

I actually tried it for the first time today. One of my sleeve friends suggested it when I told him I missed cherry flavored yogurt. I used 1/2 a packet of those individual servings & it was sooo yummy. It mixes really well!

 I am going to try it.  Thanks so much.  If you have a Winco near you, they have a great Greek yogury that is nonfat for $2.82>

I have a question. I read this post everyday and I notice not a lot of people mention protein drinks. I know most of you are much further out than me but are you getting all of your protein from food? I would love to get the drinks down to 1x a day but my nut told me to have 75g-85g a day. I know most of you have more so I'm trying to do that too but I find it hard to get over 75g without the 2nd shake. Just curious.

I never drank 1 protein drink...tried twice and they made me vomit both times. I didn't get in my minumum of 60 g of protein until I was almost 4 months out too...
