Ideas to flavor plain Greek yogurt



Recommended Posts

I currently use sugar-free pudding and want to try unsweetened cocoa powder and stevia drops, but can't think of anything else! I see some use Torani, too. Anybody have other ideas?

Not sure if it is just in the beginning or what but my Doc told me to avoid Greek yogurt. I wonder why

Add Mio, whatever flavor you like, to plain yogurt, it's tasty!

Hmm... that is odd. It was on my list of foods from week 3 on.

I bought some unflavored Greek yogurt to use in making chicken salad or tuna salad, in place of mayo, but haven't tried it yet. Greek yogurt has twice the Protein of other yogurts but its hard to find ones that ate low in carbs. the best I've had is the Oikos Caramel Greek Yogurt. it has 10g protein, 17g carbs and 0 fat and 110 calories.

The Kirkland brand at costco has 10g of carbs for 8 oz., 24g of protein, and the price is very reasonable compared to others. It's less than $7 for two 32 oz. containers!

I did read somewhere that people add kool aid to it to flavor it. Without the sugar I am assuming.

I bet that's tasty, though I'd like to avoid sugar.

You can use some SF jam (or even non-SF for the small amounts used) to flavor the plain greek yogurt.

I typically make a blend of plain yogurt, naturally sweetened vanilla yogurt (about a 3-1 ratio now), vanilla extract and a little SF sweetener to taste - small calorie increase over plain yogurt without the aftertaste problems of the SF sweeteners (particularly in the commercial SF flavored yogurts that go for overkill in the sweetness department.)

You used to be able to buy the kool aid powder and had to add the sugar so you may be able to get the flavor packets without the sugar and use them to flavor the yogurt.

I know this sounds crazy, but I've used nectar Protein powder to flavor Greek yogurt.

Or honey.

Whoops! This was supposed to quote the PB2 suggestion. Yes, there is definitely sugar-free Kool-Aid mix; I'll check it out - thanks!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
