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!

If you are just looking for probiotics, maybe try other fermented foods instead like kimchi

You can also thin yogurt out with cool water until it's the consistency of milk. You'll dilute the flavor a lot but maybe the texture will be more palatable..

No help on the yogurt, but a suggestion. Have you tried Miso soup? It's really good for your gut health. Don't get instant, get the real stuff/paste. It lasts a long time and you can use it in other foods as a flavor enhancer. Try mild yellow first. I personally love the red. Avoid the Hawaiian version unless you like sweet things. And never boil it, it kills the good stuff in it.

There’s a brand called Fage that is kinda expensive but super thick. It’s not runny like other yogurts seem to be. It’s my go to when I have a bit of extra funds. Add some granola, strawberries, maybe some honey or walnuts, cinnamon, vanilla, whatever to your hearts content.

One other thing I should emphasize. A combination of yogurt and honey is fucking delicious.

I think you’d find that Fage doesn’t give that same slimy yuck factor that other yogurts do. It’s denser than Chobani or Stoneybrook (maybe equivalent to Skyr?) In any case, I think it more so has the texture of whipped topping.

I don’t get it all the time, because it is expensive, but when I do, it’s a treat.

Yogurt is very easy to make. You should order a few different types of cultures and try them out and see which consistency works best for you. Wherever you order from should have a description of what its flavor and consistency are like. It's pretty cheap to get started, too.

I thought I hated yogurt until I found one there was a consistency that I liked.
