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!
Try skyr instead of yogurt. It’s way thicker so it may not be as difficult for you. If that option is still a no go, you can add it into foods instead of it being the only food. Anything that benefits from adding dairy will take plain skyr or plain greek yogurt just fine. Plain versions can also replace sour cream to a varying degree. You can also add in enough granola that it’s just a creamy coating for the granola.
Granola has definitely been the best of all the things I’ve tried to alleviate the texture. Does skyr still have the probiotics though?
Absolutely. We get this one (in link) from costco right now, but there are otger brands like siggi’s and icelandic provisions that are equally good. https://www.painterlandsisters.com/products
