Making yogurt fun to eat
I actually like yogurt, except for one thing. Most yogurts sold in the US are too damn sweet! They taste like weird candy rather than a sweet/tart treat. I've been pretty happy eating plain Dannon Greek yogurt with some local honey in it, but I've been getting bored lately. So now I put a tablespoon of grape-nuts cereal in it, and it's fun to eat again. All smooth and crunchy. Plus the strong blandness of grape-nuts (the only thing that recommends it is the crunch) helps tame the over-sweetness of the flavored Greek yogurt, so I can eat the strawberry kind too. In an attempt to make our meals more nutritious Round Hiker and I have been playing around with Chia seed, which happens to taste pretty good mixed in with yogurt too. So all in all, I've been having a revitalization of yogurt lately.
My husband and I found this little place called "Red Mango" - the yogurt is NOT sweet. It's natural and it taste great, plus you pick whatever toppings you want (I usually go with fruit toppings).
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.. there is a Red Mango in a local shopping center. I'll have to try it out. Thanks for the tip!
