What's on your Sunday menu RNYers?

I've been meaning to ask about the crio bru grounds on your yogurt - what do they taste like? It is for crunch/texture? I bought a bag once and it smelled like chocolate heaven, but the brew was disappointing- very watery so I gave it to my son.

I stir a tablespoon or two into it - it does give it a chocolate-y essence. Plus cacao supposedly has a lot of antioxidants and some fiber to boot. But also, I hate throwing it away if there's something I can do with it - it's too expensive and does have some nutritional value. At first I tried adding it to protein shakes, but it just sinks to the bottom so you really don't get any of it - but it works fine in yogurt (as I said, I stir it in though rather than just put it on top).
as far as drinking it, I do it in a French press and I let it brew for a long time - like 20 minutes. Then I add some half & half to it. It's pretty good - but you're righ****ery without the half & half. Not like hot chocolate, which is what I was expecting at first.

After smelling it, I was expecting it to be more like hot chocolate too. I tried it in the french press with espresso but that didn't do anything for me either.

Good morning OH~ I had a lovely day yesterday and I'm looking forward to a lovely day of hiking, football, shopping, BBQ and getting ready for the week. I wish the weekend was longer!
Accountability - ok - ended up eating some crappy canned no bean chili for dinner and it did not agree with me at all. I sorta lived on that stuff pureed for a couple weeks post op - not sure how my stomach was able to handle it then as opposed to now.
1 year post op - 160.6 - YES!!
b-coffee w/hc, bacon
l-meatballs
d-bbq chicken
v/l - on track
Have a wonderful day everyone!
Our Christmas tree (ETA-the top is cut off? huh...) and our sweet kitty boy, Bubs
