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!
So, you can use yogurt in anything you’d use a binder like sour cream or mayo. Guacamole, for example, or tuna/chicken salad sandwiches.
Edit: also frozen yogurt (though the probiotics diminish over time. You’ll have to make it fresh…. I’m gonna try this argument with my GF….)
Yogurt in…. Tuna salad? That sounds hazardous, but I’ll give it a shot. I eat a lot of tuna salad in like rice balls and such. I imagine just whole fat plaine Greek yogurt will do?
I make no claims to the flavor on that one.
But really, the only flavor in mayo is the acid- usually lemon juice but sometimes vinegar.
In the tuna salad, it’s mostly there as a binding agent to keep everything more cohesive.
