For dietary purposes, I’ve been told to start including probiotic rich food in my diet and I figure since people in my house already like yogurt that’s the best way to go. But I absolutely hate the texture of yogurt. How can I change it and still enjoy the health benefits? I don’t love smoothies, but I’ll make one occasionally with yogurt. But I’d prefer to have some variety with this. Adding granola is alright, and definitely helps but even still I find myself just grossed out after two spoonfuls. Is there anything I can do? Is freezing it and turning it into something like frozen yogurt going to kill the cultures? It’s sad, because this is the only food I absolutely cannot seem to find a way to enjoy!
There’s a brand called Fage that is kinda expensive but super thick. It’s not runny like other yogurts seem to be. It’s my go to when I have a bit of extra funds. Add some granola, strawberries, maybe some honey or walnuts, cinnamon, vanilla, whatever to your hearts content.
One other thing I should emphasize. A combination of yogurt and honey is fucking delicious.
I think you’d find that Fage doesn’t give that same slimy yuck factor that other yogurts do. It’s denser than Chobani or Stoneybrook (maybe equivalent to Skyr?) In any case, I think it more so has the texture of whipped topping.
I don’t get it all the time, because it is expensive, but when I do, it’s a treat.
Fage has definitely been the most tolerable brand of yogurt for me! And bonus points to it because it’s also all of my families favorite. I love honey and nuts, but I think I end up adding too little honey. How much do you add? Just like a spoonful or a small drizzle?
A drizzle, about as much I’d apply as chocolate sauce to vanilla ice cream.
