Plain yogurt = *gag*... Help!

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?

+134 for torani sf syrups

I was watching a vid on youtube last night and the person used the Stevia flavor drops to create her own flavors with the greek yogurt like rootbeer flavor and vanilla flavor to make it like a rootbeer float flavor. I checked them out on amazon and there are an impressive amount of flavors.

I eat nonfat Greek yogurt with equal, salted caramel SF torani syrup and a tablespoon of peanut butter.

Maple syrup, honey, agave syrup, splenda, almond butter. Those are some of the items I use as a single addition.

Eating Greek yogurt is one of the topics I share with others about this lifestyle. I started to eat Greek yogurt on the advice of a health coach about two weeks before my pre-op diet. I detested it. I mixed in chocolate Protein powder, but the sourness was strong and it was like gagging with every spoon. After a month, I stopped gagging, but really hated it. I found I had tried so many brands hoping to find the one.....and I did.....Lucerne. It is the cheapest plain Greek yogurt. I had tried organic ones and ones with bigger brands or better packaging. I think Lucerne is a local, Texas brand. I must say while I don't like plain Greek yogurt, it has become a staple. I attribute some reductions in flatulence volume and toxicity to the yogurt (sorry if this is TMI). It remains on my doctor prescribed diet even after the Protein Powder and so many other things have gone away. I go through a 2# tub each week for $3.45. I don't shop at chains other than Randall's because other chains don't sell this brand. To me, it was part of the lifestyle change I needed to make, and I made it successful.

Lucerne is Safeway's local brand.

I mixed mine with chocolate protein powder - it's pretty yummy.

Yoplait Greek 100 has the most Protein and many of the flavors have 7 to 9 gr of sugar. If you look at the plain greek it's the same. The sugars are not from the flavors but from the milk itself. I am use your Nutritionist is talking about the fruit added yogurt. You know the ones with a large portion of fruit at the bottom. Please read the labels and you'll see what I mean.

I like the yoplait Greek 100- vanilla, Boston Cream pie and apple pie but now I eat all the flavors.

The difference it if you look at something like FAGE 0% the ingredients are clean and basic; milk and active cultures. Compare that to Yoplait that contains: Cultured Pasteurized Grade A Nonfat Milk, Milk Protein Concentrate, Sugar, Kosher Gelatin,

Pectin, Lemon juice Concentrate, Natural Flavor, Locust Bean Gum, Vitamin A Acetate,
Vitamin D3.
FAGE also has more protein than Yoplait

What about sugar free jello or sugar free pudding?

You could probably add a tablespoon or so of skim milk to thin it out. Or, less pudding powder.
