I have
tried all of those ideas below and here are some more of my favorites...
I like
to add nuts, flax seeds, fresh or dried fruit and/or unsweetened coconut
to the yogurt, milk suggestion. Some great combinations are: Mango &
coconut; pineapple & coconut; blueberries & coconut; cranberries
& broiled apple; cranberries & broiled pear; raspberries &
coconut; blackberries & coconut; figs & coconut; banana &
all natural peanut butter; apricots, dates or raisins & coconut all
go well with the apple, date and raisin Heart thrives. I will eat this
for any meal or a smaller portion for a snack.
A similar idea to the apple crisp is to do it with a broiled apple or
pear, then you get a crisp, caramel sugar flavor as well.
I also make a custard, either from scratch or Bird's English custard,
and crumble the heart thrive, with microwaved apple, cranberries, nuts
and cinnamon into it.
For lunch I will make a spinach salad with either tofu, turkey or ham, a
fruit like the above options and then I crumble the heart thrive over
the top like croutons, but much healthier. I will use yogurt with
balsamic vinegar as a dressing instead of "normal" one.
For another dessert option I will mix 4 oz plain yogurt, soy yogurt or
silken tofu with a heart thrive and cocoa powder sweetened with splenda
or stevia. Very tasty!
