How can I make plain yogurt taste good?

[irideflatland]

Today I bought a tub of plain fat-free yogurt, strawberries, and Splenda. I tried cutting up a strawberry and mixing it with some yogurt and it was bad. I added a little Splenda and it still was pretty bad.
Anyone have any good recipes?

buy flavored yogurt...serious...100x better.

[frisch0105]

ANY fruit, whichever you prefer, they're all good. my tops are blueberries or banannas.
also, cinnamon is a good changeup or even throw in some cocoa...hope this helps

Just get the flavored kind and work the extra carbs into your macros.

[rudy24]

mix it with whey to give it taste a little extra protein never hurt anyone

I was told this, tried it and it tastes like heaven IMO.
Get plain Greek Yogurt and mix it with chocolate protein(I guess you could use different flavors). It tastes like pudding

Sounds like you just don't like the taste of yogurt, so why bother?

Strawberries and yogurt is a match made in heaven.

The other option is to not go sweet, but go savory instead. I like to use yogurt as a sour cream substitute with mexican food. Chop up some cilantro, green onions, fresh serranos and throw em in some yogurt. Maybe a squeeze of lime and a touch of salt. Makes a killer topping for burritos, quesadillas, etc.

Add ground flax. Doen't do anything for the flavor, but helps with the texture.

No.


I like to add blueberries.

[rozzr]

some honey/strawberry jam/rasberry jam works great!

[NFTactics]

Ok this may sound gross, but I love it. Put yogurt on your PB sandwich.. YUMM

[liftjunkie06]

Smoothie, maybe with a protein powder?

[fcalise]

Granola and fruit

[Cronos1247]

Half a cup of fiber one gives it some nice crunch, only 60 calories, good whole grain carbs and fiber too.

Personally I put a cup of blueberries and splenda in it, love it.

[CharliC]

Nuke the fruit and splenda into a compote, then mix that in along with some cinnamon. Or just blend it into a smoothie (yoghurt, oats, berries, banana and vanilla whey is good).

Hey man every post I see you are talking about macros and carbs. You need to stop worrying about things like this at your weight. You look like death in your avatar. Get the idea in your head that food is food. No hate just advise.

Add some brown sugar and cinnamon to it, or some diced up fruits and honey, that'll make it real good real fast.

[jreese86]

I make 1 cup of Yogurt, 1 cup of cut strawberries, 1/4 cup of blueberries, and 1/3 cup of granola.

With plain yogurt, it only tastes good if you have a strawberry/blueberry with every bit. If you get a big scoop of just yogurt it tastes a little blah.

I recently moved to the Danon Light Vanilla yogurt stuff. Not sure how healthy it is compared to normal stuff but it tastes freakin amazing.

[Fender57]

I personaly throw some honey in mine. I swear by honey as the best sweetner there is. I know it has sugar in but it is all natural and I'd rather put natural sugars in my body then artificial splenda (Thats me though). I realize that this may induce some insulin spike but at only 30 calories and 8 grams of sugar per 1/2 table spoon I think it's negliable.

My recipe for an awesome post work out yogurt is as follows.
1/2 cup no fat yogurt-75 calories
1/2 cut of plain oats-75 calories
1/2 table spoon of honey-30 calories
Theres 180 calories roughly 10 grams of protein and it tastes like a McDonalds parfait. You can increase everything as well depending on calorie needs just be careful with the honey.
On a side note my girlfriend hates all foods and she loved this soooo give it a try tell me what you think

By the time you add something to the plain yogurt, you'd be better off just eating the flavored.

[RHockey84]

I usually go with granola or chex

[240kat]
