Sure 
My favorite 'sweet' thing since I can't handle sugar anymore is yogurt bark. It's a frozen treat that is tasty! I just take a large container of Oikos triple zero greek yogurt (15g protein) and add a scoop of Syntrax flavored protein powder (23g protein) and mix well. I lay that out on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and spread it out. I then top with fruit of choice and granola. I freeze it for a few hours, then break it all apart and throw it in a freezer bowl and I can grab a sweet treat that isn't a sugar free fudge pop when I want, plus it is packed with protein.

That sounds yummy. Haven't had anything like granola yet. I've been enjoying my home made nice cream pops but worry about the sugar content in bananas. For post op I think I'm taking in too many calories so am trying to go protein shake free today to see how that goes. I put some flavorless powder on my lentil soup for lunch and had a Brussels sprout. I noticed over the last week I have been averaging between 700 - 900 calories a day and I think that's high. I read I should be keeping closer to 600 so will see how I do without the shakes. I confess I tend to snack on the low fat yogurts a bit and I think that's tipping me over. It'll be better when I go back to work. Boredom is a killer for dieters! How far post op are you?
