Option 2: Unsweetened yogurt combined with full-fat sour cream, whole milk, chia seeds, a few raspberries and walnuts. Since all yogurts have lactose, this combo has the right portion- and carbs-counting. You can also balance out the macros by pairing this combo with a carbs-free protein such as two eggs.
