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!
You can make tzatziki with it, or salad dressing, making a mango lassi with it would be a different texture. Frozen yoghurt seems like a good idea, I wouldn’t expect it to kill the cultures, generally high temperature kills stuff, low temperatures usually just slow them down and keep populations from growing, so cooking with it seems more likely to kill cultures than freezing it. if it weren’t for what I just said about cooking with it I’d say using it in curry would be great, though you usually add it at the end so you could do that as it’s cooling some and potentially avoid that issue
