Pumpkin cheesecake for breakfast!
But... I am eating pumpkin cheesecake!
This is not really my own original idea. Someone posted something similar the other day and I thought I had to make some.
I used a 16 ounce container of plain Greek yogurt, added half a package of sugar free cheesecake flavor pudding mix, a couple heaping tablespoons of pumpkin puree, a spoonful of splenda and a little caramel sugry free syrup. I put some back in the fridge for later, then topped my portion with cool whip free and a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg. Yum yum yum. I'm gonna wish I'd bought more Greek yogurt.

I used Kroger brand Greek yogurt for this because it's cheaper than most other brands and I am sort of short of cash for the rest of the month. I like Fage better but with the pumpkin and everything mixed in, the Kroger brand yogurt was fine.

Do you think you could save it by adding more yogurt? Kind of dilute the flavor? Although if that didn't work then you'd just be wasting even more yogurt.

It is sitting in the back of the fridge waiting to be pitched tonight for trash night. IDK why but, I felt the need to add 4 packets without even tasting it. When I tasted it, it tasted all chemically (yes, I just made that word up) I could have cried b/c I sent dh to the store specifically to make that. I don't usually EVER add Truvia to my greek yogurt concoctions, so I don't know why I felt the need to. My lips actually started tingling after tasting it. Anyone need any Truvia??
All right, I got off my butt and went into the kitchen to look at the containers for this info.
I used two cups of Greek yogurt, 150 calories per one cup serving so 300 calories for two, no fat, 23 grams protein per serving for 46 grams altogether.
Pumpkin puree has 50 calories, no fat and two grams protein per half cup serving. I probably used about that much.
The cheesecake pudding mix had 50 calories for half the box, no fat and no protein.
So the whole thing was about 400 calories, no fat, 48 grams of protein. I probably ate about 1/3 of it. And I topped that with some cool whip free, which has 15 calories per serving and no fat. Wow, so that was like a 150 calorie breakfast with 16 grams of protein. And it was a good serving size and filling.
Now I'm glad I figured it out!
