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!

    Considered just buying probiotic pills instead? Yogurt isn’t the only way to get beneficial bacteria.

      I was considering that, but I wasn’t sure how useful they are? Like, it seemed that people either swear they worked or said they were the equivalent of praying to the old gods for better digestion. Figured food was probably a more reliable path.

        Everybody has a different stomach microbiome, so different results are expected. The nice thing about capsules is you can try to find a mix that works for you.
