what can I put in my yogurt?

Most days, my mid-morning snack is 1/2c plain yogurt with 1/2-1c berries (raspberries or strawberries) and 1/2c granola. I'd like to cut out the granola, but I really don't like the texture of yogurt without it. Any suggestions for something else I can put in the yogurt?

    have you tried refrigerator oats?
    the recipe I use is 1/3 cup of old fashion rolled oats 1/3 cup milk and 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt( I use fage brand)
    combine together and place in fridge for 8 hours add any fruit or nut butter or spices, sweetener you like. right now I have been adding cinnamon and brown sugar to the mix and eating with blueberries too. it is yummy.

    Maybe a tablespoon of flax seed along with the berries?

    ETA: The flax seed might give you just enough texture. I like putting half a cup of Kashi Go Lean Crunch! in mine when I eat yogurt, but I'm guessing that since you want to cut out the granola, you wouldn't want to add in cereal.

    Flax seed, Chia Seed or Hemp seed are all very healthy seeds, great source of omg-3 and easy to add to yogurt, oatmeal cereal or shakes.

    slivered almonds! more surface area. i switched from granola to museli - fewer calories, similar flavor.

    I second the kashi comment - Kashi has a granola-ish texture, and it's full of protein and fiber.

    It depends on what type of yogurt and whether you want it to be dessert-y or meal-like. I sometimes top my sweet potato with it and add some cinnamon and sugar.
    Here's some combos I use:
    carob chips and walnuts
    apples, cinnamon
    apples, cinnamon, walnuts
    granola and fresh sliced peaches
    banana
    coconut butter or flakes and pineapple
    berries
    top with honey

    More fruit, I like 4oz yogurt, 1/2 cup fresh blueberries. Yogurt is more like a sauce for the berries.

    I put wheat bran or oat bran in my greek yogurt with cinnomon a little water to thin it out along with stevia I eat this for breakfast I also put unsweetened cocoa powder in mine with stevia for a pudding as a snack Another one to add to your yogurt is Crystal light or Hansen's Natural I eat the plain greek non fat yogurt The punch flavor is good so is the lemonade Here's one to try (1/3 cup water,1/2 Tbsp cocoa, 1 cup nonfat greek yogurt, instant coffee and 17 ice cubes-blend)
