Hey all, I many times buy yogurt and berries premixed at the grocery store.
I want to make my own creations.
What do you mix in with your store bought plain yogurt.

Additions I like:
- blueberries (thawed)
- cacao nibs (in moderation, these are very bitter on their own )
- applesauce from a jar, to make it sweeter
- crunchy muesli3 -
I like
- Cocoa powder
- Cinnamon
- Honey1 -
Stir in a tbsp each of chia seeds & hemp hearts.
Let it sit for a little bit then add berries or chopped apple or sliced banana.
I tried pumpkin seeds but that was meh.
Mixing yogurt and cottage cheese together is surprisingly good if you want to boost the protein.6 -
I've come to love this so much.
75 g nonfat greek yogurt
65 g no salt added cottage cheese
6 g (chocolate) protein powder
4 g fiber powder
tablespoon of splenda7 -
very much a kid approach-
You can "fix" plain yogurt with fruit syrup or jam.3 -
For a snack, plain nonfat Greek yogurt with frozen mixed berries (or cherries) and chocolate peanut butter powder. The berries may stay frozen, or half-thawed quickly in the microwave.
For breakfast, that (though with plain peanut better powder) plus 14g walnuts, 12g ground flax seed, 10g hemp hearts, half a teaspoon or so of Ceylon cinnamon.3 -
I buy my yogurt in the 32oz sizes.
I often eat it plain.
However, when I don't: fresh fruit (blueberries, strawberries, cut-up apple, peach, ...), dried fruit (when fresh not available), nuts, wheat germ, no sugar Alpen or other unsweetened museli. I enjoy peanut butter mixed in (the mix-it-yourself natural style PB). Or, some combo of all/most of this. Not a fan of added sugar, honey, sweeteners in general, using them minimally.
I use yogurt (usually NOT Greek-style, but occasionally that too) for marinades and sauces and such, including as a salad dressing base. I irregularly "Greek-ify" regular yogurt by straining it for a specific use. I sometimes bake bread with it - as a bread component, but also I've been experimenting with it as a source of live bacteria in emulating sourdough starter.
I often contemplate making it myself (I also bake most of our bread and do a lot of the cooking from whole ingredients), but frankly it's still convenient enough to buy and a timesaver to do that. It's one of the purchases I make ensuring that it's organic.
Good luck.2 -
I usually mix with a fruit, apples, strawberries, or mangoes. Then I add chia seeds, almonds or pecans, and some granola. Also dried fruits: cranberries, raisins. Enjoy !!0

To help meet my protein goals, I like to add Keto Chow (brand protein powder) to my Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt. 1 serving Keto Chow mixed in 2 cups yogurt. Let it set in fridge for 4 hours to intensify the flavor and you have 2-4 servings of a delicious high protein treat. For those not familiar with Keto Chow, it comes in many flavors and adds about 23-28 grams of protein, less than 1 grams of sugar, and a couple of grams of fiber. Current favorites are Maple Pecan and Butterscotch. It makes the consistency of the yogurt like a thick pudding.

Instant coffee.5

On a diet day, I have nonfat plain greek yogurt with 15 blueberries or half a banana or two strawberries on top. On a cheat/relaxed day, I have strawberry nonfat greek yogurt with apple, chia seeds, granola, and almond butter.0

My typical breakfast with skyr is
40gr oats, 8gr raisins, 80gr skyr and whatever fruit I have. Mix well. Gives a rather solid texture that keeps me full longer than liquid-y things. I need a carb-heavy breakfast.0 -
Plain yogurt is one of my go-to foods. I stock up on cranberries when they are in season and usually have frozen cranberries and ground flax seeds. Sometimes I include pumpkin purée. No sweetners, I like the tartness. I’ve also included coffee which is pretty good. I’ve tried protein powders but the mix of the sweetener in the powders and the tartness of the yogurt don’t work for me.0

Sugar free instant pudding mix! 😋2

I add Bran Buds for crunch that doesn't get soggy. Because I am "Now I add roughage to my snacks" years old.6

I add a couple of tablespoons of granulated, white sugar and a couple of tablespoons of granola to one cup of plain, Greek yogurt. Oh, it is so good!1

I add 1/2 cup of high protein yogurt to half cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, handful of berries and a dash of cinnamon and of course a drizzle of honey. Mix it all up and use as overnight oats, or heat it up and enjoy in the moment, it delicious, filling , healthy 😊1

Peel and chop an apple, cook it up for 10 minutes with some cinnamon and a bit of brown sugar. Few toasted hazelnuts or almonds on top.
Stewed rhubarb worked well.1 -
