QUARK!!!

Post by cassiegose »

Anybody tried this? I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I'll be giving up ff cottage cheese here in the next couple of weeks and have been wondering how i was going to fill the void. Then I discovered quark! 1/2 cup= 70 calories, 13 grams of protein!!!, 4 grams of carbs, and very low sodium. I should be able to eat it right up until 2 weeks out from comp. Yay! Just mixed 1/2 cup quark with 1 teaspoon peanut butter and a bit of chocolate protein powder. Not too shabby if i do say so myself. :mrgreen:

I wondered what you where talking about. I saw that title, Quark, and I thought you'd just lost it.

I was concerned I might read a load of barbling, as your Brain started to melt :wink:.

LOL! No its actually a food. Tastes like unsweetened yogurt. Although... I will admit that brain has not been functioning at full capacity lately so randomly typing a crazy word is something that might happen here in the next few weeks.

Have you heard of quark before boss?

I've heard of something called Quark, Strangeness and Charm, but that is the title of an old Album by Dave Brock and his Hawkwind band.

Yes, it is a very fun name... and an even funner treat! I do love me some quark. new favorite thing in the world (well besides oatmeal): quark, natural peanut butter, and chocolate protein powder= heaven. Its kind of dangerous really because I could eat bowls and bowls of this stuff.

Edit: Although i think it might be kind of important to add that I've been on such a boring diet for so long that anything new pretty much tastes yummy at this point. You could probably serve me a bowl of dirt and give it a fun name and i would most likely think it tasted good... anything besides fish, chicken and eggs! :|

Mmmm... I love this stuff!

I was buying it at a local health food store. Its actually pretty hard to find. It tastes king of like a thicker greek yogurt. Check around at local health food stores and if you can't find it pick up some greek yogurt instead. Its about the same... greek yogurt might actually taste a little better.
