Greek Yogurt

[shell12 18]

I! I am in the first week post op, and on full liquids. I bought some vanilla Greek yogurt for Protein. However, I think they taste nasty. Any suggestions on how I can make them taste better?

Well, first of all, your taster is off right now. Some things will taste weird for a while. Secondly, Greek yogurt can be an acquired taste for some people. Try different brands. They all have a bit of a different personality. Oikos, for example is a mild, sweeter Greek while Chobani will flay the taste buds right out of your mouth. Shop around.

I agree I do like the Oikos, I also like Yoplait Greek yogurt.

I had fage Greek plain yoghurt yesterday and I opened some ranch powdered dip mix in it. It was soooooo good! I'm going to have it for lunch today too 18g of Protein.

Good luck!

I prefer FAGE, and add a shot of sf Torani hazelnut and a few slivered almonds for crunch... also ground flax seed is nice. You can also flavor the plain yogurt with sf pudding mix. You'll want to avoid the yogurts with sugar, of course. You can also add a spoon of no sugar added all fruit preserves, I think. Enjoy!

Chobani and Fage are my favorites, just plain with a little Splenda. Watch brands like Yoplait since they contain Gelatin as a thickener and don't contain nearly as much Protein as the better brands. Check labels!

My favorites are Fage and Brown Cow.

I also add sugar free pudding or jell-o mix plus a packet of sweetner. It still doesn't taste all that great to me even doctored up.

I love the ranch powdered dip mix idea!

I sometimes eat it in place of sour cream on my taco casserole.

I love the sugar free Torani syrups for my greek yogurt. I like the lemon but raspberry has got to be my favorite. I also add the lemon in my Water, tastes like lemonade.

I stopped paying for the Greek yogurt, as I just couldn't justify the cost, carbs or calories when compared to other options.

I.e. Kroger brand Carb master has 60 calories instead of 130, 4 carbs vs 22 and still has 8g Protein.

If those 4g of Protein where going to leave me short is find a way to work around that. YMMV

They should have it at the supermarket or Trader Joe's!

I was obsessing over Chobani yogurt UNTIL my nut made me read the label more carefully. I was just looking at Protein but it has 22 carbs!
