eight yogurt mix-in ideas

7/17/2019

Starting your mornings with yogurt can be a good idea (even better if it’s Greek with no added sugar). But if you’ve tried every flavor available and need some more variety, don’t worry. Here are eight yogurt mix-in ideas to keep things interesting:

1. Seeds - Flax, chia, or for a pop of tartness go with pomegranate seeds.

2. Honey - Natural sweetness that you can portion yourself.

3. Peanut butter - Add even more protein and switch up the texture with peanut butter. Try chunky PB and maybe even swirl in some jam.

4. Pumpkin puree - For a taste of Fall, add some pumpkin puree and top with roasted pumpkin seeds for crunch.

5. Kiwi - The combo of sweet and tart go perfect with yogurt and their seeds add a subtle crunch that’s always welcome. Berries work well too.

6. Apples - Thinly sliced or diced apples pair nicely with yogurt. Consider adding cinnamon as well.

7. Coconut Flakes - Add a tropical flavor to your yogurt and throw in pineapple to take it even further.

8. Ginger - Candied or ground ginger make for an invigorating twist on your usual yogurt routine.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at amanda@simplypreppedmeals.com
