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!

    What, specifically, about the texture bugs you? I’m not challenging, just trying to understand so I can offer recommendations to alter things.

      I’m honestly not even sure myself. I’ve tried thickening it and it makes me gag, but super thin/runny also makes me gag. I think thicker is the better of the two, and I can eat like whipped cream or even sour cream just fine. Though, I’ve never tried eating just a straight spoonful of sour cream…

        I wouldn’t try to eat yogurt then

        Try kimchee or even OTC probiotics

        Edit: if and only if your medial professional approves. I have no medical training. I just know there are other sources of probiotics that aren’t yogurt
