Ok, so today I chose to try 2 new things and so far BOTH of them were HORRIBLE!!!

How do I make Greek yogurt taste better? I bought the Kraft brand of plain and added 1 tsp of sugar free vanilla Syrup to it; still tastes bad to me....added granola, still yuck. Added 1 packet sugar, nada....

Any suggestions??? I hate to feel like I am throwing away food but if this is how greek yogurt is supposed to taste, I'd rather eat regular (I really don't care for it either but like it better than greek!)......I only bought 2 small containers of it.

thanks!

unflavored, no sugar added, greek yougurt can be really blah....you need the right brand. The answer: Chobani brand yogurt with fruit on the bottom. it's delicious. It comes in 0% 1% and 2% in a variety of flavors, pineapple, black cherry, strawberry to name a few. if u don't like the taste of plain yogurt mix the fruit on the bottom so it "coats" all of the yogurt, give it a good swirl. You are eating something healthy while getting a minimal damage sugar fix. It's great for you; it was recommended to me by two different nutritionists. Another great brand of greek yogurt is Fage, it comes with honey, fruit on the side (usually can be found in the organic section of grocery store). Hope this helps!:rolleyes:

I add one whole packet of Equal to any of the Chobani yogurts I have and I have found it to be the perfect level of sweetness. Even though the ones I bought have the fruit on the bottom, I need that extra sweetness :)

I love greek yogurt with honey. I love to use plain greek yogurt in place of mayo or sour cream. When I make chicken salad or in place of sour cream in a veggie dip. I love it because calorie count goes down and Protein goes way up!

I could not stand the 0% greek type- but found the Fage strawberry 2% to be pretty good- and honestly its all in the method in my opinion- take a spoon w/ yogurt- then add a little strawberry to the tip. Good Luck!

I have actually added some MIO to the yogurt and it tasted pretty yummy! I was surprised myself. I added the peach/mango flavor. O calories 0 carbs. Yum!

the greek yogurts with added fruit have way too many carbs for my liking, so i get the plain, fat free and add chocolate or Peanut Butter Protein Powder to it. it changes the taste dramatically and makes it much easier to stomach. you may want to try that. one of my employees told me she adds vanilla extract to hers, and it really helps. i haven't tried that yet, though.

I like the Mio idea. I tried Crystal light in it too, not too shabby.

I buy the Dannon Vanilla Greek Yogurt and add a package of equal and stir. Sometimes I also add sugerfree jelly (like a fruit on the bottom idea) I can only do the Dannon Vanilla Greek brand.

I'm with you! I can't stand the taste of plain Greek yogurt. ACK! I started adding a Crystal Light "stick" flavor packet (strawberry, peach, orange) and a little Truvia sweetener. Much better!

I have a horrible sweet tooth so I have to add a package of Equal or Splenda to it....I like the HOney or the fruit on the bottom type. I had a hard time with it too and I'm really struggling trying to do the "right things" good luck

Chobani also has kid flavors that are pretty good, you have to really stir it. banana and honey and berries. I also add some to my portein shake that way I get the extra Protein.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
