Confession: One of the reasons that I’m suddenly on an exercise kick is that I’ve decided once and for all to eliminate my muffin top. Every now and then for inspiration I look up different images on Pinterest.
This morning I found a photo featuring a comment that mentioned Muffin-Topless. I don’t know if it was her site, or her Tumblr page, but I could’ve sworn that somewhere along the line, I saw a picture of Greek yogurt, stevia, and cocoa powder. (Mind you, from what I’ve seen of her, in hindsight I realize it was probably chocolate protein powder.)
I got excited. I thought to myself,”OMG, is that a THING?!? Because I could totally go for some chocolate yogurt pudding!”
Fact: I used to bake almost every week, but I haven’t in ages. And after I recently won* a box of cookies, I started to eat them, but decided to throw them out.
Anyways. Moments ago I went to the store.
I bought my ingredients.
And I decided to see what I could create.
I used
1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt
2 heaping tablespoons of raw cacao powder
3 packets of stevia
I mixed these items together in a small bowl.
At this point, my mother was present.
Mom: What is it that you’re making?
Me: I. don’t. know.
I tasted my treat. Then, I furrowed my brow and added 2 tablespoons of agave nectar.
Still…Meh.
Fact: Healthy alterna-foods almost never taste as good as their sinful counterparts.
According to this web page, Greek yogurt “pudding” really is a thing.
But my gosh. This might just take some getting used to.
Back to the kitchen…
*Last week at a store I spent over a certain amount on groceries. My reward was a box of cookies.
