[QUESTION] How do I adjust the texture of yogurt?

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.

You can try making a fresh fruit compote to mix in, that would kind of do it.

Do you have a similar aversion to Cottage Cheese? What about going in the direction of fermented vegetables like Kim Chi or Sauerkraut?

Google is suggesting Elmer’s glue. have you tried that?

Could try going in the yogurt-drink direction, with something like lassi or kefir or something like that. Mango lassi is frankly delicious. Or go in the other direction and try a really thick greek yogurt with a texture closer to cheesecake. There’s brands

Could also use it as an ingredient in uncooked things. It can be used in some salad dressing recipes sometimes for instance.

I’m not sure if freezing would harm the cultures.
