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!

I also tried a Heart Thrive. This time it was the raisin flavor and it was so good! It was delicious alone and crumbled over vanilla Greek yogurt + persimmon + cashew butter.
