I have to increase my calcium intake but I'm kinda fussy and don't really like milk or plain yogurt.
I'd love to have ideas on what to put in plain yogurt? Apart from sugar or cocoa or something like that of course cos I'm looking for healthier ingredients!
Thanks!

I use natural yogurt and in the morning when I'm making my lunch put in some fruit (blackberries,strawberries and raspberries particularly) and by the time its lunch time The fruit has flavoured the yoghurt0

I slice ripe strawberries and freeze them in 1 cup gladwares. When you take them out to thaw, they make extra juice, more so than when you cut them up and don't freeze them. I put them in plain greek yogurt because the flavored ones have way too much sugar and I don't do artificial sweeteners...0

I slice up some bananas and mix them in with some chia seeds. If you like oatmeal you should try doing overnight oatmeal. I take a serving of dry oats (not cooked) and mix together with a serving of yogurt. Put it in the refrigerator overnight and then in the morning add whatever fruit you like. The oatmeal soaks up the yogurt so its nice and soft!0

I put frozen berries in when I pack it for my lunch in the morning, by lunch time, they are thawed and the flavor is good.0

I thaw out some frozen unsweetened cherries and add them to my plain greek yogurt and put about a tablespoon of Hershey's sugar free chocolate syrup on top. It is heavenly!0

Thanks everyone for the tips! I guess yogurt + berries is a winning combo then! Can't wait to try it!
I've never tried oatmeal (I don't think people eat it a lot where I live, had never heard of it before) but if I can find some I'll try it too! And hopefully I'll get some calcium in!0 -
I really like to put granola in my yogurt...be careful of the kinds you buy as they tend to be high in sugar or carbs, but it is also very easy to make at home!!!0

I use it as a dip and usually put mint sauce and chilli powder in it.
If you don't like it too hot then paprika works well.

Scoop of protein powder with my greek yogurt for a pumped up protein snack!0

A little bit of stevia, ground ginger and cinnamon. Fantastic and adds zero calories to the yogurt.0

^^ THIS........and imitation vanilla.
BTW, I discovered that Dannon Oikos Plain Greek Yogurt has 10 calories MORE than Great Value Plain
same am't fat - ZERO-
BUT 1/2 the am't of sodium
1/2 the carbs & sugar
and DOUBLE the am't of protein, so I switched.
Obviously costs more, but it was worth it to me.
It fills me up, whereas the GV never did0 -
- Peanut butter and honey (sweet & salty)
- Cocoa powder and some sweetener (chocolaty)
- any kind of fruit (berries, bananas, peaches etc.)
- Granola (just watch out for fat and sugar)
- Nuts (portion control!)
- add frozen berries and puree to make ice cream *yummy*
- add yogurt to protein shakes
I ♥ yogurt0 -
I'll mix Nature's Path cereals into my yogurt, fruits, almonds, or cocoa powder.0

I'm kinda weird...I mix a packet of hot cocoa in yogurt, nuke it for about a minute and half, and pour it over weetabix or shredded wheat.0
