What should I put in my yogurt???

KanCrav

I made the leap to BUY the yogurt. Plain NON'Fat Greek Yogurt.... but I am too scared to try it. I have berries and honey and sweet and low... I have tons of other crapola too..... I am just scared!~!~! I used to HATE yogurt as a child. I figured that I should try eating it for Breakfast though since it is soo good for the bod.

Any help??? what should I put in it??

bigmamma3

I just got done eating a spoonful of the plain fage haha. I use to HATE yogurt my whole life until I started eating the greek style. I started with Chobani fruit on the bottom, nonfat. Those are delicious but have a bit more sugar than some people prefer. I have switched to the plain so I can add my own fruit. I add berries of all types and cantaloupe. Also a spoonful of granola is delish also.

I can speak to the type of person who couldn't stand the consistency and flavor and everything of yogurt but I LOVE greek strained.

im not a fan of yogurt but id suggest flax, oatmeal, or granola

fruit could be good but be careful as it contains sugar

Blueberries, or strawberries or a big handful of seeds are my faves.

My most favorite Greek yogurt treat is one that I got from a Kirstie Alley interview and it is absolutely delicious. It's plain, nonfat Greek yogurt, with some Stevia and ground cinnamon. It's the creamiest, most delicious treat. I eat it at least twice a week. So, so good.

I love the Chobani Greek yogurt with fruit at the bottom:bigsmile: I add raw walnut halves to my yogurt and it is yummy:smooched:

Hi,

I like it with a banana and sometimes add some sultanas and a little drizzle of honey.

If that's too sweet for you, try it with some red berries and blueberries and, I agree with the other posts, it's delicious with granola

I am trying to eat it right now, I threw in some oats and some rasberries and a tiny bit of honey but its still like WAY bitter. MOre honey? Sweet and Low??? I need sweeter or something.

I stir in a teaspoon of lemon curd into low fat greek yoghurt and it is lovely.

I also have yoghurt with my breakfast I mix it with unsweetened muesli and grate an apple into it.

Greek yogurt is more bitter than regular yogurts. I think the texture is better but if you are having trouble with the taste I would go with a regular nonfat yogurt.

Usually I add frozen strawberries or blueberries and Bare Naked Sunflower Seed Granola to mine. You could also try one that has fruit in it already. Oikos has an organic version and the strawberry and the super fruits flavors are amazing.

If the berries are frozen make sure you thaw them first.. then mash them up in the yogurt.. if this still isn't sweet enough for you then add a teaspoon of honey. YUMEE..

Also, if you're really wanting to do yogurt but have had bad experiences with sourness then you should totally try making your own. My homemade yogurt is hardly sour at all. Hit me up if you need help making it.

I have not tried the greek yogurt yet. I love stoneyfield farms fat free french vanilla. Before I leave for work I add some frozen blueberries top with 2TBSP ground golden flax seed and add 1TBSP pure maple syrup. I let it set in the fridge at work until 9 and then mix it all up. It is so yummy. The vanilla yogurt is sweet and the flax seed is nutty.

I was going to get some flax seed to throw in some homemade granola bars, so I will def try it in my yogurt. Also I didnt know that greek was MORE sour than other kinds, I guess I will have to venture out and give some more things a try.

What brand did you buy? Everyone seems to have a very particular favorite...mine is Fage. I tried the Oikos and nearly hurled. But, I have a friend who had the opposite reaction. All I need in mine is a spoonful of the Trader Joe's Honey Apple Butter and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon. It tastes like apple pie a la mode...yummo!

Stonyfarm Oikos nonfat organic plain Yogurt. (wow what a name)

Smoothie?

This is what I do with my greek yogurt:
I put about 2/3 cup of frozen fruit plus a few ice cubes and the yogurt in a blender or smoothie thing.
Then I blend away!

YUM!
If you need more sweetness you could try to add some kind of 100% fruit juice or a ripe banana.

Hope you find a way to enjoy your yogurt.

GypsyWagon

That's the one I didn't care for...have you tried Fage, yet?

I agree, my favorite is chobani. I like to mix in frozen berries, but have also enjoyed it with granola, honey, banana, or a little nutella.

I love it with granola and strawberries, or raspberries.... or both

1/3 tsp of honey and blueberries was my lunch today. I had to work my way 'down' to that little amount of sweetness, I was used to the artificial/bad sweeteners in other yogurts. It's also good as sour cream, mixing in some dry ranch seasoning and using as a veggie dip.

I mix 150g greek yoghurt with 100g of low fat flavoured probiotic yoghurt. It is higher in sugar than ideal, but it makes the flavoured stuff taste less sweet (I don't like sugary things), and the greek yoghurt less bitter.

Or mix in some blueberries, or lemon curd, or sugar free jam.

I get my greek yogurt plain too and have experimented with putting different things in it haha. Some that work really well are sugar free maple syrup (very low cal so you can put more in! i put in one tablespoon for every 1/2 cup of yogurt), sugar free fruit preserves (also about a tablespoon per 1/2 cup), better n peanut butter, and sometimes I also add cinnamon or ground flaxseed.
