Yogurt- Yuck!

eillamarie

So I have read several different articles about how you should eat yogurt everyday. Well honestly I can't stand the smell nor the taste of yogurt. So does anyone know what can take it's place? Or maybe one of the new flavored yogurts that are out that don't taste like original yogurt?

Dairy, unless it's organic, has a lot of hormones and chemicals in it, so yogurt really isn't that good for you. What IS good for you is the probiotic cultures and calcium. Find something else to give you that-like supplements!

How were they incorrect?!
It's true that a lot of brands provide only one bacteria in their products. Look at activia-Bifidus Actiregularis Actimel-L. Casei, Muller vitality-Bifidobacterium Yoplait yoghurt-Lactobacillus acidophilus YOplait drinks-Bifidobacterium Yakult- Lactobacillus casei
...
Ps. I also studied Microbiology and had a few lectures about this.

You stated this:

Not aiming at people who actually need the extra boost mostly meaning, most products advertise it to boost sales =\ and most people fall for it. It's like yoghurt only contains one kinda of probiotic such as Lactobacillus...but you're only inputing one! There's many others that aid in healthy digestion

Had you said "I've only seen yogurt with one type of probiotic", you would have been correct because you were stating your experience. Instead, you said that yogurt only contains one kind of probiotic.

Can we please stop fighting? Thanks!

Sorry, I didn't realize that this would be interpreted as fighting, I thought we were having a respectful difference of opinion. Neither of us meant to offend anybody, or cause anyone discomfort. If either occurred, please accept my apologies.

Agreed. Right now I am eating Fage Greek Yogurt with berries mixed in when I do eat it...............

I asked for a yoghurt maker for Christmas. One more thing I am going to start making myself.

I've made my own yogurt without any special equipment - not hard at all! If you want to give it a try before getting your yoghurt maker, you can try this method - I found the instructions very easy to follow and it worked like a charm:

It's easy to strain the yoghurt with cheese cloth after it's been made to turn it into greek-style consistency.

IKEA's fat free frozen yogurt is nothing like yogurt & tastes AWESOME! Is that really yogurt?

YEA AWSOME!! Is it yogurt? Not so sure but it’s like 120 cals and only $1 in Canada which is cheaper than the USA. Went to an Ikea in Orlando on vaca and it was $1.49 there, lame!!! The pop was more expensive in the US as well, $1.25 I believe and $1.00 here (and the Canadian dollar is slightly lower .97 cents to $1 US currently so therefore even more expensive in the US).

I have had gastrointestinal issues for the last five or so years and eating yogurt really does help me. I am like you though eating regular yogurt almost makes me gag some times... I have recently found Greek yogurt. Fage plain yogurt with a little honey and fruit is amazing. It does not have the same "tang" or texture that other yogurts have. The full fat greek yogurt is the best, but a little high in calories so I stick with the 2% or the fat free. Seriously give it a try!!!
