Any way to cover the sour taste in yogurt?

Greek yogurt with fruit (I had a Yoplait Greek 100 calories, peach flavored this morning...yummy).

Have you tried adding instant pudding to yogurt it would taste like the flavor of the puddingthat you mixed in

Put it in a smoothie? That's the only time I don't notice the sour taste. Just some fruit, milk, yogurt, and ice. I don't mind it as much when I eat my son's Simply Gogurt tubes (not the regular kind, but the kind without artificial flavors or corn syrup) as much either.

If you are eating a good variety of beans and veggies, there's no need to have yogurt in your diet just to get enough protein. But, if you insist, the regular yogurts are not as sour. Greek has become all the rage lately and it is definitely more sour

First, if you have a choice, check production date - the fresher the yoghurt is, the less sour the taste, it changes with time.
The simplest things to add to yoghurt are fruit, fresh or in syrup, honey and nuts (or any combination of these).
And you can use yoghurt in smoothies.
You can also make a simple and low calorie dessert out of eat, by mixing it with jello: prepare jello with only half the water, replace other half with yoghurt and let it cool in the fridge. The result is a cross between pudding and jello.
Also plain yoghurt can be used in cooking and baking, instead of milk or cream.
You can also add salt and any herbs you like to plain yoghurt and use it as a dip or dressing.

I have never been a yogurt fan. I prefer to get my protein from legumes and cheeses.

I drizzle honey over my yogurt.

I found it at Sprouts, which I guess you would classify as a "health food store". Its kinda like a poor man's Whole Foods haha. Here in AZ it was $1.79/ea. Stonyfield's website has a product locator to see what stores around you sell their products

Frozen fruit...let it almost thaw completely in a baggie- there will be juice on the bottom. I mush it all up and put it in my yogurt.

You probably don't need nearly as much protein as you think. The fitness industry has convinced the majority that you need ridiculous amounts of protein to get and maintain muscle (people taking more than 1g per lbs of total body weight for example). I'm a 150 lbs vegan male and I usually end up between 70 and 100 just from oatmeal, beans, rice and veggies.

This isn't to say you can't eat dairy or yogurt, but if you don't like it don't force yourself to eat it because you think eating twice as much protein as carbs is healthy.

I barely can hit 60g lately. I don't eat oatmeal I rarely eat beans and rice. I don't get a lot of protein. I should start eating more rice and beans. I like them, I just can't be bothered to cook too many complex meals for myself because I already need to cook for my 3 year old who has sensory issues separate from my other two kids and sometimes I make something for my partner too and he's the only non vegetarian so we all eat different meals. I was going to yogurt because it is low calorie and I'm on a deficit right now. Otherwise, I'd go to higher calorie foods with decent protein levels.

Beans and rice is easy to make in advance and will last in the fridge for a couple days or even freeze large batches Build it in your recipe maker on MFP, use the cooked weight as 1 gram servings and you can spoon out as much as you need for that meal. Even throw in tofu cubes to add more protein. I don't know how tofu freezes though, never tried it before.

I had this last night, and it was delicious. Its a sweet creamy cheese that's eaten like a yogurt. 10g of protein! There are about 7 flavors, but I had vanilla and it was quite tasty!

Hey @DisneyDude85..May I ask where you found that product; in a regular grocery store? It looks yummy.

I've seen it in all the grocery stores I go to...including Target.

Greek yogurt tastes kind of sour to me too but Fage 0% less so, so that's all I eat. Then I mix in protein powder and some splenda and all is good. I like it because it's easy protein I don't have to attempt and fail to cook.

plain greek yogurt with walnuts and honey - the very best in my book!
