How can I make greek yogurt taste like the ones you get in fruit yogurt

[PureBlackVoid]

The ones where you get a section of plain yogurt, and then the fruit (or granola) at the bottom/separated like oykos etc? It is apparently greek yogurt, but it’s not as sour as plain greek yogurt. I’ve tried sweetening with sugar, fruit etc but it still tastes like sour milk with a hint of sugar. When I buy them as fruit yogurts the yogurt has more of a milky/creamy taste.

I tried buying plain activia yogurt, thinking it would taste the same as their ‘delicious creamy’ ones but nope, still sour.

It would be so much cheaper if I could buy a big tub, and add my own berries/granola whatever but the taste is not as nice. It’s one of the only things I can stomach for breakfast.

Any ideas?

Onken plain is not sour. I personally don't like it for that reason

Oh if you buy ones that are 'vanilla' they are usually what you want I reckon. All sugary blurgh

Make your own, so easy and gorgeous

I usually put some honey with my Greek yoghurt then add granola and fruit. Delicious

I’ve tried vanilla ones, but they can be too sweet once you add fruit and stuff. The oykos yogurt isn’t sweet or sour, it’s like a plain but ‘refreshing’ taste.

Don’t think I’ve tried plain onken, but I have tried their flavoured ones which I wasn’t keen on.

Actimel is another taste I like. It has a hint of yogurtness without the sour milk taste.

Bit of honey drizzled ?
I buy Tesco finest zero fat Greek yogurt ..I don't find it sour

M&s 10% fat. Amazing stuff

Yeah not this one specifically but I was going to say not the low/no fat ones.

try mixing in some double cream.

Proper Greek yoghurt (not “Greek style”) is what you need.

I buy it from Aldi and mix the 0% with the 10% in varying proportions depending on how virtuous I want to feel. The big supermarkets do similar ranges, and Fage is the branded variety. They are all in the squat pots, rather than the taller thinner ones.

It’s not sour at all and much nicer than the processed stuff you get in fruit corners.

Try any of the full fat (10%) options, not low fat ones. Still "sour" but the extra creaminess mellows it out.

Drop of vanilla essence. Honey.

I was also going to say Fage greek yoghurt. Greek Style won't be the same, nor low fat.

Have you tried Fage authentic Greek yogurt? It’s so sweet to me I can’t eat it.
The Tesco finest full fat authentic Greek yogurt isn’t at all sour to me.

Are you buying authentic Greek yogurt or Greek style yogurts?

Most of those are.not plain, they've got loads of sugar in.

Lidl Greek yogurt is the way to go.

Not all Greek yoghurt is made in the same way. Real Greek yoghurt is strained, which makes it thick with a high fat content.

But Greek style yoghurt has had a variety of thickeners added to it to give it a thicker consistency. This might be why you like the taste of some, but not others.
Figure out if you like Greek or Greek style best, then start adding fruit to your favourite type.

Not Greek yoghurt but SKYR or Fage is what you need. I also found natural yoghurt really sour but I started having one of those two yoghurts with granola and berries and it's lovely

Try Lidls Greek style it has added cream iirc & may be what you’re looking for. Of course it may have changed since I last had it. Add a little vanilla essence/extract & you might get something like

Fage plus double cream is exactly what you need.

Agave nectar.

Greek (not Greek style) yoghurt with 10% fat as pp have said

Waitrose No1 is the Best, M&S is OK and Fage 10% is great but hard to find

Yeo Valley Super Thick Greek style. It's mild in taste, lovely and thick created by a completely natural process. They also do a 5% one.

Agree with avoiding the low fat ones. If you want creamy, you need the fat. Also, I'm not convinced that the fruit in those pre-done pots isn't full of extra sugar so that might impact things. I can't eat plain greek yoghurt without a generous amount of honey but Dh and the DC do - with fruits and nuts and a bit of cinnamon sometimes.

Try Skyr, I prefer it to Fage.

We’ve stopped buying Oiykos because it’s more than 10% added sugar. That’s not from the strawberries, that’s just a tonne of added sugar.

So it you’re looking to replicate that… icing sugar to make it smooth?
