Morning Snack @ 10 am: Pouch of pink salmon with that same greek yogurt
Lunch @ 12 pm: spring mix salad with 7 oz of grilled turkey breast, 2 oz salami, banana with sunflower seed butter, steamed broccoli, glass of 2% milk
Pre-ride: 1 roctane gu

THIS IS GREAT!

I love Greek Gods yogurt! There's a container in my fridge. I assume you have the plain? I really like the honey one--it's really tasty with strawberries and granola.

I'm totally hooked on the Kirkland brand nonfat greek yogurt from Costco. Super high in protein and soooooooo creamy that you would never guess it's nonfat. I buy the plain and dress it up with blueberries. SO good.

I used to eat a lot of Nancy's nonfat yogurt, but now I find it too tart and not creamy enough.

Hmmmm, will have to check out the plain. I use Greek yogurt for so many things...though not recently. That must change.

Susan, the salmon sounds awesome!

Yes, I envy all pacific northwesterners their ability to buys scads of wild, sustainably fished salmon/char/coho. Mmmm boy.

It's out on the grill right now! We *are* fortunate to have ready access to great seafood. So, every time I see farmed ATLANTIC salmon at Costco or elsewhere, I always wonder why! Well, probably because it's inexpensive. My favorite place to go for fresh seafood is Uwajimaya. They have the best selection around, plus plenty of sushi grade fish. Mmmmmm.

I buy the plain in the big tub cause I throw almond butter and raw honey into it too... I can't seem to find big tubs of the honey kind. But seriously, I think it's tastier than Fage Total which seems more paste like to me. This feels smoother in its fully fatted form. Also packs a huge calorie punch which I now need... A six oz serving has a ridiculous amount of calories... add in my honey and AB and I've got a perfect breakfast!

I can't find full-fat Fage around here (why do I want to write "phage" every time?), so I buy the 2%. It's a little weird on its own, but much better when stirred up with honey.

I should look to see if I can find big tubs of the honey Greek Gods around here. If I can't, it's going to be another thing I can only get after trips to Cincy.
