YOGHURT - how much do you eat?

[SliceofTosst]

I know it's good for you and want to incorporate into my diet.

How much do you eat?
When?
What type?

Daily. With kefir mixed through and various bits like oats/fkax/chia.

Always FAGE 0% fat. The full fat stuff is too claggy for me.

I also mix it with chicken instead of mayo, and I use it to make tzatziki.

3 times a week, Fage Zero, with tasty things mixed in.

Most days for breakfast either with fruit or in porridge. Also dolloped on things like currys or bean stews. Full fat for the protein...though I'm trying to cut my portion sizes. Also use it instead of sour cream on fajitas or tacos.

Used to be daily.

Then I had an ME/CFS relapse and developed histamine intolerance. I miss yoghurt so much...

Well, I have tried various methods with cheesecloth and found them all messy and yours certainly wouldn't work here with cats on the prowl but thanks anyway.

Well it would work very nicely for the cat.

None. I haven’t touched milk products since I was a child - warm school milk put me right off 🤢
i am now vegan so have the option of soy yogurt but it doesn’t have the high protein benefit of a dairy Greek yogurt and I most don’t eat dessert type foods.

I buy greek yoghurt from Aldi/Lidl. Have it every morning with granola and mixed seeds.

Every day, either proper Greek yogurt or Skyr. A few dessert spoons worth on my overnight oats.

@Trotula
I just don't like most of it. I find it sharp.
I do eat bananas and occasionally pears or watermelon but really don't like other fruit, especially berries.

It's not limiting at all. Instead of fruit I eat cherry tomatoes and cucumber (which actually are fruits!).

With the yoghurt I'd have seeds and nuts occasionally.

Thanks for recipes @Allsigns.

I'm never hungry in the morning so I might have it as part of a healthy lunch or a snack in the evening.

I have full fat Greek yoghurt every day for breakfast.

For fun, I asked my 3yo. Her responses are as follows:

how much - 5
when - Before somebody takes it away
what type - white

hope that helps!

I really like fruit yogurts especially raspberry and cherry and eat the Greek yogurt with bananas or berries so just thought that not eating fruit limits the options but seeds, dates, honey etc are good additions!

Well when I did eat yoghurt I would mix it with veg or salad, honey, seeds and nuts

I largely hate fruit. Cold and sweet.

Very very very occasionally I may have extremely fresh and ripe strawberries with clotted cream but I havent had that for a couple of years.

Fruit does not motivate me to eat at all.

Ive just updated another thread were I was asking about something connected to that 30 plants a week thing. I was experimenting with it as havent done it before wondering what my 'number' would be at the end of the week, its 31.5 and the only fruit in that list is prunes, dried apricots and dried cherries.

Although lots of salad stuffs are fruits, tomato, avocado, olives etc etc. Cucumber as well I think

Most days in some way. It's pretty staple in our house.

I usually stir a big tablespoon of greek yoghurt through my overnight oat/chia pudding. If I make porridge i stir a spoonful through it.

Tonight I had a three ingredient pizza base using greek yoghurt, flour and olive oil.

Sometimes use it to marinate. Use it to make tzatziki.

Greek yogurt is normal yogurt which has been strained. It’s the removal of the whey when straining which ups the protein. Both types of yogurt-plain and Greek -are good for you, as long as they have the live bacteria in them. Flavoured yogurts are more sugary, or fake sugary, so I have natural.

1 big pot of 950g of Fage 2% a week at least plus some cottage cheese

re 2% Fage - Where are you buying this please?
My supermarket has FAGE in 5% & 0%. I go for the 5% but I'd been keen to compare it with the 2%

Fage 0% or 5% most days, with honey or protein powder mixed in. Not keen on fruit flavoured ones but do like a full fat hazelnut one occasionally

Ocado.

Daily for breakfast. Whatever natural variety it is that Costco sells in small buckets, with chopped fruit like kiwi and pineapple and a smattering of seed toppings.

I have Yeo Valley Kefir for breakfast with fruit and seeds and then use it like mayo the rest of the day. It really helps with my IBS (intolerant to alliums, not dairy).

Bought 2 Fage 0% fat individual yogurts yesterday. 1 raspberry and 1 honey, where you pour the little side pot in.
Honey one was delicious and my Yukka app approved 🤣

This stuff is great but I'm waiting for a delivery of kefir grains to make my own. I eat it every day with fruit.

Have you tried homemade kefir? I make my own and it's very different to shop bought
