What could you mix yogurt in so you don't have to taste it?

[gtg465x]

There are NON-refrigerated ones?!

Actually, yogurt is supposed to be safe to leave out. I wouldn't do it, though. I leave butter and ghee out. (Butter bell for butter, I put a little salt in the water since I use unsalted butter - the salt controls various nasty growth) And ghee in the jar in which it was bought. (Why Whole Foods refrigerates one brand of ghee - but not others - is beyond me...)

I would say most probiotic supplements I see sold in stores around me are NOT refrigerated. Certain types of probiotics can survive unrefrigerated, but all types survive for longer and in greater numbers if refrigerated. Whole Foods is one of the few stores near me that actually sells refrigerated probiotics.

yep and it is in everything including dog food.
[doublepost=1561507500][/doublepost]keifer is kinda yogurt thats bubbly not as sour tastes pretty good and you drink it. I had problems with getting my bacteria back after too many antibiotics. I finally found a fermented herb drink that really kick started my guts. it was so sour but it worked.

Was it kombucha? I actually like that.

I have already recommended kefir, which is easy to take (being more liquid, and thus, can be drunk, than standard natural yogurt); it is also possible to obtain naturally fruit flavoured kefir.

no ya that's good but it does not really have much probiotics in it. it was some herbal fermented stuff with licorice. like drinking vinegar.

 

[jdechko]

Fresh berries and granola.

As do I. Really nice to have a cold glass of it on a hot day.

So, I'm supposed to eat some yogurt, but I really hate it. I was wondering what I could mix it in so I don't notice it?

I was thinking a smoothie. Maybe strawberry, mango, ice, sugar, and yogurt...

Any other ideas?

OK I hate confessing this b/c I loathe admitting that I cannot eat just one potato chip... so I usually avoid bringing them home and so manage not to think about them most of the time.

But here goes: when I do cave in and buy potato chips, I usually also bring home plain greek style yogurt and dip the chips in them like it's sour cream.

At least it adds up to less fat than the sour cream since I buy the low fat or no fat kind of yogurt. But... I'm better off slicing a banana into yogurt, or putting some berries or diced peaches in it.

I am sure that anyone you're consulting on your health will not recommend that you combine potato chips with anything though, not even yogurt.

The chips are not a healthful food since in general they're over the top on natural sugars, fat and salt.... probably why I defy all common sense and indulge in them now and then.

Yogurt is an acquired taste, but it doesn't take long to start liking it. Try some diced peaches, the shelf-stable kind that comes in little plastic cups with a bit of peach juice or syrup in it. It's got more sugar than is really necessary, like a lot of foods destined for American tables.. but it's a taste conditioner mixed into yogurt for a novice yogurt consumer. After a few rounds of that then using fresh berries in yogurt seems pretty natural and skips the sugary syrup that fruit packers put with things like peaches.

Worth mentioning again;
The combination of Greek yogurt and Maple syrup is magic.

Than again all this is super high calorie.

Greek yogurt and liquid honey is a classic combination, one that is both healthy and tasty.

I too know the struggle. I wonder if we're evolutionary predisposed to crave tastes that would've been harder to come by in pre-history. Like, the desire for certain flavors is proportional to its scarcity, so back when fat-loaded meals we're nearly impossible to get, we'd eat them in relative moderation whereas now, we can just pop over to a store.

Yep. Some basic food groups: fat, sugar, salt and caffeine. The trip down the road to caffeine probably started after someone fermented some grapes and discovered that other major food group: ethanol.

I do really like Greek style yogurt and it's often either my breakfast or lunch all summer with some fresh berries or a sliced banana.

Honey dosn have as much magic

Depends on the honey; some are superb.

 

[hawkeye_a]

Mango pure' and ice.

I have tried both... give it a chance

I tend to prefer maple syrup served with (or drizzled over) stewed or roasted apples, pancakes, or waffles.

Honey for everything else that calls for that taste; with natural yogurt, a really good (as in high fruit, low sugar) jam/conserve/preserve would also work well.

 

[ucfgrad93]

Rum.

 

[Doctor Q]

I like to put Grape Nuts cereal in Greek yogurt. The textures are very different but I like the mixture of tastes.

 

[AngerDanger]

Arsenic. Takes a sec, but once it hits, you won't be able to taste the yogurt at all.

 

[kazmac]

Yeah I’ve had Jam before in yogurt. I actually might just do that.

I’m just not a dairy person. I avoid dairy and wheat but to each his/her own.

If you need to take probiotics, you can get some excellent capsules that have to be refrigerated and avoid the yogurt altogether.

Excellent idea, for those who don't actually like this taste.

Personally, I love the taste of natural yogurt - and I also love the sweet sour combination of adding honey or a seriously fruit laden jam to a jar of natural yogurt.

I love greek yogurt. It's good plain or with some sweetness added. As mentioned honey, or sliced strawberries. Arguably the commercial brands have corrupted yogurt turning them into sweet high calorie deserts.

I read about the good bacteria in your digestion track vs bad, the bad making you crave bad food and tried the probiotics for 3 months, but did not notice anything in particular graving wise or weight loss wise. It was really hard for me to evaluate.

Supposed to eat yogurt? Why?

Given his claimed diet... probiotics. Lack of gut bacteria contributing to problems.
