Little trick for eating greek yogurt

Solosesso

Hi guys!

Recently I tried switching low fat yogurt (which contains a lot of sugar) by plain greek yogourt (which contains a lot of protein and very few sugar). The problem is : I just hate the taste of plain greek yogurt! But I kinda find a way to eat it : I mix half a cup of plain greek yogurt with a bit of sugar free jello powder and lots of fruits. It's yummy!

My favorite mix by now : Plain greek yogurt + some raspberry flavored sugar free jello + raspberries and strawberries.

I add about a tsp of sugar free jam (All-fruit) to the yogurt with the fruit,and that helps.

I mix it with fat free/sugar free pudding. Any kind and it is...wait for it....amazing!

Honestly, when you reduce the sugar in your diet (including "fake" sugars), you will begin to taste the real sweetness in foods. Adding in fake sugar isn't healthy or a viable long-term solution.

When I cut out sugar I was able to eat Greek yogurt plain and have it taste sweet to me.

THIS! The pudding idea is awesome too! I used to mix coolwhip, canned pumpkin and sf/ff pudding for a yummy mousse-like treat.

Adding artificial ingredients to make somthing you don't like edible seems silly to me. If you don't like greek yogurt, why eat it? There are plenty of other healthy foods out there.

I had the same problem, just gave up and went back to my sugar loaded greek yogurt.
So thanks for posting this - very inspirational!

Ohh sooo true! ... when I cut back on sugars I can even taste the sugar in a sip of skimmed milk !

also.. I can now taste SALT in some red wines!

weird..

I have been cutting sugar and feel the same way. natural sweets taste so much more intense now.

I am to the point now that I don't need to add the fake stuff to it. Just a little fruit and pure vanilla extract. Yummy.

If you want to get a chocolate fix while you're at it, mix in an envelope of swiss miss sugar free cocoa mix. Suh-weet!

tronapage

That is GENIUS!!!!!!!

THANK YOU! I can't stand the taste of that stuff straight up! Hey, speaking of sugar free jello, a friend of mine just let me taste something she made. White grapes with sugar free watermelon jello sprinkled on them. YUM!!!

Greek yogurt is an acquired taste. At first I was only able to eat the flavored cups. I like mixing yogurt into my oatmeal in the morning, and the first time I switched to plain greek yogurt I had to choke down my oatmeal. I started adding frozen/thawed mixed berries into my oatmeal/yogurt and it make it edible/good. Now I actually enjoy plain greek yogurt all by itself. Now I no longer like the taste of regular yogurt!

I love putting honey in mine, it a great natural sweetener and a little goes a long way! I normally put a tablespoon an a half in 3/4 of a cup or so. it's great for energy in the morning.

I tried it, but I don't like the taste of honey. On the other side, for a more natural way of adding sugar, I sometimes put pure maple syrup, but it add A TON of sugar, so I only do that when I have a urge for sweet!

I love using Greek Yogurt in place of Mayo and Sour cream. It's very tasty with Boca burgers and any mexican dish. You can't tell the difference and it's MILES better for you. LOVE IT. Plus, there is less lactose in greek yogurt, leaving you less gassy (almost everyone has some sort of aversion to diary).

On its own, I simply put strawberries and a relatively low-fat granola in it.

I add a little stevia and sugar-free Torani syrup

Try adding a squirt of "Mio" type water flavoring. Adds flavor and sweetness without adding calories.

You can also add the sugar free pudding mix. The cheesecake is AMAZING!!!
