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.
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.
