It's not only the high quality protein that this type of food offers, it is also its low fat content which allows quick digestion and absorption of nutrients. The only thing that concerns me is the heavy metals that tuna fish is said to be contaminated with. Anybody knows if it is safe to eat a can of tuna every day? I eat tuna almost everyday.

It was very bitter by itself, however... I took your advice Josie and did the following: I put one serving of the greek yogurt, 1 banana, and a serving of low-fat granola into a blender. I added just a splash of milk to get the blender going, and blended it for about 30 to 40 seconds. IT WAS FANTASTIC. It really tasted great! It ended up being about 5 to 6 grams of fat (3.4 from the granola and maybe 1 to 2g from the splash of milk) and 27grams of protein. Not to mention it kept me full for almost three hours :-).

I'm going to give it a try this week. It should be a welcoming change to the cottage cheese and fruit I've been forcing down lately. Great recommendations Josie!

All foods that I can get behind. I normally have tuna once a week (use to be a lot before getting prego). Prunes I haven't had in a while, but now that you said that might need to get some now. As for Greek Yogurt.. You got me into it in the first place so now I'm in love with it lol! Great Post Josie! Tuna, Prunes and Greek Yogurt! All foods that I can get behind.
