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 :smile: )
    - applesauce from a jar, to make it sweeter
    - crunchy muesli

    very much a kid approach-
    You can "fix" plain yogurt with fruit syrup or jam.

    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.

    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.

    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 !!

    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.

    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. :)

    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.

    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.

    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.
