Low Carb Yogurt, Delicious Chicken Broth, and EPIC bars

Yogurt

Recently I found out that Siggi's brand yogurt makes a plain, full fat yogurt that only has 4g of carbs. It's Icelandic skyr yogurt, which is made using 4x more milk than regular yogurt since the whey is strained out. Thus, the 4.4 oz. size (plain) has a whopping 11g of protein, 4g of carbs, and a yummy 5g of fat. I like to add 2 tbsp. of sugar free Smucker's brand fruit preserves (raspberry is my favorite) and 2 packets of Splenda. You can always leave out the sweetener if the preserves is enough. Siggi's also has 4 other flavors which are low in sugar if you are doing a moderate carb diet, they have about 9g of carbs, 8 of which are sugar. Check out their website. Other ideas for flavors are:

• 1 tsp. vanilla extract and 2 packets sweetener
• 2 tbsp. any sugar free preserves or jam (jelly might work but it's too gelatinous)
• 1 tsp. cocoa powder and 3 packets sweetener
• MiO water flavoring. I like Apple Orchard + cinnamon for an apple pie flavor, or Vanilla Orange for a creamsicle flavor 

I've missed sweet and creamy yogurt, and this is a good way to get in your fat and protein for breakfast (with some bacon or sausage) or dessert!

Yummy Chicken Broth

When you're in ketosis, it's important to keep your electrolytes balanced. If you feel a headache coming on, make this delicious broth that tastes just like the broth in chicken noodle soup.

3/4 c. chicken broth

1/4 c. bone broth, chicken

dash of poultry seasoning

Heat in a mug in the microwave, stir well and enjoy sipping your headache and fogginess away! 

And now my favorite part of the post:

EPIC meat bars!!

EPIC is a great company that focuses on putting real, high quality meat and poultry in their bars. The bars come in different meats with different flavorings. Some are higher in sugar (some have a bit of fruit in them) than others, so read the packaging. They are sort of expensive, but they make a wonderful, sustainable, occasional treat. As much as I like the taste of Atkins bars, these are much better for you. :) My favorite are the uncured bacon bar (no sugar yay!) and the pork and pineapple (my absolute favorite, at 5g carbs). Other ones that are low carb are the Chicken Sriracha (1g),  Beef Apple Bacon (4g), and Chicken Sesame BBQ (5g). Want to share with friends? They also sell bites.
