Strained Greek Yogurt with Raw Honey & Vanilla Cacao Nibs

This yogurt combo is such a satisfying low-fat breakfast, dessert or snack. This is perfect for those wanting to shed some fat. Not only is the Greek yogurt really high in protein and low in fat, but the cacao is known to reduce appetite and it really does! I can go for hours never thinking about food after eating this.

Per Ray Peat’s advice I always strain the toxic lactic acid from my yogurt and cottage cheese. Not only does it make them taste so much better from removing all of their sourness, but it thickens them up too making a more decadent texture, especially the yogurt. After days of draining my whole Greek yogurt it is more like cream cheese! One night in a coffee filter set in a sieve over a bowl is all that it took to turn my yogurt into what you see above. It takes several days to turn the yogurt into a cream cheese.

I have since run out of the vanilla flavored nibs that a friend sent me so I am now using these raw unsweetened ones that I get at my local health food store.

“When the idea of “glycemic index” was being
popularized by dietitians, it was already known
that starch, consisting of chains of glucose
molecules, had a much higher index than
fructose and sucrose. The more rapid
appearance of glucose in the blood stimulates
more insulin, and insulin stimulates fat synthesis,
when there is more glucose than can be oxidized
immediately. If starch or glucose is eaten at the
same time as polyunsaturated fats, which inhibit
its oxidation, it will produce more fat. Many
animal experiments show this, even when they
are intending to show the dangers of fructose
and sucrose.”
