what do you put in plain yogurt?

julie9200

My favorite is a tsp of honey, some granola, a scoop of protein powder, and some fresh strawberries or other berry. I do not like yogurt, but I've been eating it almost everyday for several weeks and I'm slowly acclimating to the taste . I know you said no sugar or anything, I don't know if you'd count the honey in that category, but I use the plain yogurt so I need a little sweet to offset the tang. Plus I use locally harvested honey, which is supposed to help with allergies. I make homemade granola sometimes, but my absolute fave is Cascadian Farms dark chocolate almond. Soooo good, but expensive.

I've also used no sugar added jam/preserves, pureed berries, cereals like cheerios, grape nuts (not the right texture for me, but adequate), kashi, etc

I've also started using it instead of mayo in chicken salad and instead of sour cream on potatoes.

I strain it and make yogurt cheese, lovely on an english muffin or crackers.

This sounds interesting! What kind of yogurt and how do you strain it? And do you do anything else to make the cheese after you strain the yogurt? Details, pretty please

I freeze it then add with protein powder and frozen fruit to a blender for a protein smoothie.
edit to add..I mix it with water also for a smootie consistancy.

trader joes has a great berry granola blend. It helps. I am not a fan of yogurt and this helps. Good for you too.

cashews or those little sesame sticks broken up

you can add fruit and nuts or even train mix! makes it yummy and adds some protien if use nuts too. :-)

Add the crystal lite packages for flavoring water. If you use the orange it tastes like the dream sickle that we ate as kids. Any of the other favors work too, experiment and have fun with it.

honey, raisins, raspberries, blueberries! low fat greek yogurt is super lush. you could also mix all of that with meringue and voila, a low fat, low calories pudding! it's so yummy.

I've tried honey and Hemp Hearts in my yogurt...fibre, calcium, and protein...good luck!

I like to put in the frozen blueberries from Sam's and a little stevia. Good stuff!

Last night we had what was called an Indian Chicken Wrap (from Food Network Magazine). The chicken had cumin, onion, jalapeno and ginger (and shredded carrot), and the sauce was plain yogurt w/ lime juice and fresh cilantro. The sauce by itself wasn't spectacular but SO yummy on the chicken. We had it on naan bread. Right around 450 calories if I remember correctly.

I have never seen so many variations of what people put in their yogurt and now I may try half of them....not sure about peanut butter?

I take the frozen tube yogurt and freeze them but my regular yogurt gets fruit and grape nuts! Love me some grape nuts!

msaap

1 cup 0% fat plain Greek yogurt
A scoop of vanilla protein powder
1/3 cup chopped strawberries
1/3 cup nut & raisins trail mix from The Fresh Market

I love this mixture for myself. I like the crunch of the trail mix with the sweetness of the strawberries just does something to me.

I do the plain greek , very filling ! Add frozen berries. Preferebly strawberries . I just chop it up . Its does taste better if you freeze them first . Anyway , I top it with a tablespoon of ground flaxseed . YuMMy ! )) Oh, I add a packet of stevia, cuz i like sweet. Been looking forward to agave sweetner that would probably be best but I havn't tried it. My workout/meal plan recommends it though. Good luck on your journey ! ))

Yesterday I put apricots, strawberries, blackberries, almonds, and a packet of stevia.

Todd08

Today I put blueberry granola.

btb079

A teaspoon of honey and 5 blackberries.

HideNGeek

Raspberries, raspberries, and more raspberries (and sometimes a banana)

Stirring some melted dark chocolate (something with a high cocoa %) into the yogurt then blending with ice cubes is a great alternative to ice cream too.

I always buy plain yogurt and then add honey and some vanilla powder. Delicious!!

wonderwomanwannaB

The last time I ate plain yogurt, I put Emerald Breakfast on the go nut and granola mix in it. It was very filling! =D

2 cups of frozen fruit, (strawberries, blueberries and bananas is what I use) 3/4 cup plain, sugar free and fat free greek yogurt, 1 cup skim milk, 1 packet of sugar free hot cocoa (or you could use choc protein powder). Make it into a smoothie and it tastes better than a chocolate shake. I use a Ninja smoothie machine but you could probably use a big food processor or a blender if you thin it out more. It makes a LOT and you can freeze extra for later use.

I love frozen blueberries and walnuts.

peachNpunkin

I make a smoothie out of it.

1 container of fat free plain yogurt
1 cup of frozen fruit or berries (or both)
1 splash of vanilla flavoring
sweeten with your sweetener of choice

Put in in a blender and wala, you have a yummy, tummy pleasing smoothie.

Fruits (berries are my fave, bananas are good too, and kiwi!)
Oats or granola or something similar
You could always do a smoothie (bananas are great in smoothies!)
