I have to get some plain yogurt today. Either kind (Greek or regular) will definitely make me gag, and mixing in baby food fruits or applesauce doesn't help. Has anyone ever mixed in flavored Protein powder? I'm nervous it will be some gross consistency? I don't want to test it out and pitentially waste it all.

How do you spice up your yogurts? NUT said extracts are ok as well. Anyone use those?

I LOVE yogurt!!! Literally love. Any and all except plain. I buy plain in the summer and add berries. Sometimes I use plain yogurt mixed with veggie dip spices and make a healthy dip. I guess there are some sugar free flavored yogurts I am going to get those. I haven't bought anything besides Chobani in a few years so I'm out of the loop. It's just cost effective to buy a big jug of plain yogurt, that's why I asked what I can add

Chobani is on my do not buy list because they use GMO's.

Thanks for the info !

I don't know what faze your in but ranch dressing powder mix is great. Also I add to black bean purée. It's like sour cream. Also PB2 with protein powder frozen then blended is good. I hate it if not frozen first.. Textures freak me out. My friend makes frozen yogurt dots check Pinterest out too

I'm on pre op right now

Cinnamon helps. I have added chocolate protein powder too but hated the consistency so added some fat free milk to it and that helped

Oh pre op the making ranch dressing trick was awesome I just made raw veggies and dipped them. I so miss that right now

I buy a tub of Greek yogurt thats about 2 cups and add one packet of crystal lite for the individual Water bottles and 2 packets of splenda. Then I eat small servings for a snack. One tub usually lasts me a week. It is less calories and carbs if you make it this way than buying flavored yogurts, and its easier to dish up a small serving that it was eating half a regular container. I try to eat some yogurt every day. I think it helps keep me regular. My go to flavor is the raspberry ice.

just buy vanilla yogurt. I have light n fit by dannon.. fat free greek and it's amazing. no chunks of fruit. or maybe you can put a tiny bit of honey to make it more palatable. but I'd def recommend the vanilla.

Try Torani sugar free syrups......0 sugar 0cals 0 carbs

Another vote for Torani-- I love white chocolate, coconut, and salt caramel. I flavor plain yogurt with vanilla extract, sweetener, and cinnamon. Also a little bit of OJ concentrate, vanilla and sweetener. Not SF but it takes so little to make a Creamsicle flavor. I am pre-surgery, though-- don't know if any of these will appeal post-surgery. Good luck!

Sf jelly is great mixed in with plain yogurt. Not sure if its OK for preop.

No veggies for me

Have to keep on the same diet I will follow for 3-4 months post op

I have always only eaten plain Greek Yogurt...the flavored ones always taste too sweet to me. I use protein powder (vanilla, banana and cake batter are my favorites) or Torani syrups (English toffee, almond and pumpkin pie are great) to flavor it. This way I can control the sweetness.

Just google "recipe" and "raita" for Indian savory recipes using yogurt. You can add roasted or cooked veggies, or fresh cucumber + spices (not necessarily hot ones) and it helps to wet your food and provide extra Protein. It helps to make it a few hours before you eat it because the flavors need time to meld.
