Yogurt

Thank you Vic that was interesting reading. There are some links on the side that were interesting also.

I'm doing well with my personal experiment with a fish and veggie diet. I'll tell you all about it over dinner at LTT when we journey to our happy place again.

Unfortunately, I don't like the taste of yogurt unless it is the frozen variety. Somehow I don't think that is quite as healthy.

Thanks for the info, I am a regular (in more ways than one) DanActive drinker. I think it helps me in many ways. I CANNOT eat regular yogurt, it makes me ill just thinking about it, but drinking it is not a problem.

How about trying a yogurt smoothie? One of my favorite quick breakfasts on the go. In a blender I combine whatever fruit I have (bags of frozen fruit come in handy for this), fat free plain yogurt, and a little skim milk to thin it out. It's delicious, and healthy - my kids even love them!

That's a great idea. I can't stomach the taste of yogurt either -- well, except for the frozen dessert. I like doing the milkshake-as-meal thing, though (as in high-protein Slimfast and the like) -- makes me feel like I'm getting away with something naughty.

Bill, I'm with you and everyone else who seems to be facing this.

OK, Maybe, I'll try this. Maybe.

Vic, thank you for the link. To those offering suggestions and/or support thank you.

Thanks, Vic
I used to make my own but these days I am buying the Stonyfield Farm organic variety. And now my Little Hagen is eating it too.

Shannon thanks for the great Smoothie idea - I will try that

And make it extra good for you by adding ground flax seed, calcium citrate (especially for 50+ women), and if you're really brave a 'greens plus' powder. Here's a link about the greens plus http://greensplus.com/index.php/cPath/34_36
I have this every other morning, I also add 1/2 cup of frozen berries (blackberries, blueberries, rasberries). I won't say it's all that tasty, but I really feel that healthwise it can't be beat.

For better flavor, make your own. It's frighteningly easy.

Make Your Own Yogurt

I use 1% milk. You can add Splenda or sugar or honey and whatever fruit you have on hand, even frozen. I use Stonyfield farms as my culture starter, plain or vanilla flavors. I like it best with a little honey and cinnamon.

I love yogurt but with the lactose issue I have developed over the last few years, my friends wouldn't like me much afterward I'm sorry! I know; TMI
