For dietary purposes, I’ve been told to start including probiotic rich food in my diet and I figure since people in my house already like yogurt that’s the best way to go. But I absolutely hate the texture of yogurt. How can I change it and still enjoy the health benefits? I don’t love smoothies, but I’ll make one occasionally with yogurt. But I’d prefer to have some variety with this. Adding granola is alright, and definitely helps but even still I find myself just grossed out after two spoonfuls. Is there anything I can do? Is freezing it and turning it into something like frozen yogurt going to kill the cultures? It’s sad, because this is the only food I absolutely cannot seem to find a way to enjoy!

Get plain Greek yogurt and use it as a substitute for sour cream in all of your recipes. They taste nearly identical.

Huh, I had no idea. I do make tacos once a week, I’ll give it a try!

It's got a much thicker texture than your standard yogurt. There's a fair amount of variation in Greek yogurts. Fage is probably the thickest and iirc a little grainy.

It's perfect on tacos, but you've gotta try it in mashed potatoes too. My mashed potatoes have been a hit at get-togethers for years and greek yogurt is my secret ingredient!

I've come to love Siggis Skyr. It's very thick. With tons of protein it's quite healthy. I get the one with no sugar. Use it in muffin/cake recipes often. It's also good with some toasted oats with honey. When I have it in the morning I stay full for a long time.
