I will go ahead and say this recipe is not for everyone. I personally love it and think it is a great snack, but have found some people are not a fan... Mr. Hungry being the biggest non-fan. I found this recipe a long time ago in a dieting book called The Formula that my parents were using. While I have never been on the diet it recommends, I have made this yogurt for years. It is a part of the 40-30-30 diet (or zone diet), which promotes eating meals and snacks that have 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein and 30% fat. I love that the yogurt uses all natural ingredients and because of the portions, seems to really fill me up. These are not all ingredients you would have on hand, but I use protein powder for certain smoothies as well so have found it to be a good investment. It is more expensive than most products I buy, but one can will last a very long time.
4 Servings
Recipe Notes
Using all natural fructose is a healthier alternative to table sugar. Bob's Red Mill makes a granulated fructose that can be found in alot of grocery store. I buy protein powder at Whole Foods, but can now be found in most grocery stores in the health food aisle as well. The original recipe is for one serving. I have adapted this to make four servings so I can make once, and eat throughout the week.

8 teaspoons granulated fructose
2 tablespoons pure whey protein powder
