How do you enjoy yogurt?   

I have yet to try it with wheat germ. Sounds good as a new option to eat yoghurt with.
I may just give that a try this weekend!
Looks like there is a new item to add to the shopping list!

Hmm... yoghurt in smoothies are very nice too.
What is your favorite kind of yoghurt smoothies? The fruity ones where you add fresh fruits to the mix?
Or the milky ones where you can add flavors like chocolate?

I like the fruity ones. I have always loved fresh fruits so I do make good flavors of smoothies from my fresh fruits. I love mango smoothies the most also strawberries and avocados. Other fruits are okay too.

Oh, all three of them are nice.
I like to take the avocado one with a big heap of milo powder on the top before it is being served.
The best smoothie I ever had. The buttery flavor combined with the milo powder is really a winner!

Thanks for sharing my friend!

Yeah... I totally agree with you on that.
Yoghurt must be chilled to be really tasty.
The non chilled version, I do not like much either.

Straight from the cup eh?
Me too! I like them straight from the cup as well!

Smoothies with yoghurt is kinda like milk shakes. But replacing the milk with yoghurt in order to reduce the fat content.
A favorite among people who are on a diet.

Usually smoothies with yoghurt are fruity in flavor. But there are those who will add chocolate to the mix and use plain yoghurt instead of fruity yoghurts.

Oh, home made yoghurt? How do you make them?

I used to make some by getting a cup of yoghurt from the market. Plain flavor. And then use some of it in a fresh batch of milk. And the milk will turn into yoghurt the next day. And then I would repeat the process.

How about you? How do you make your home made yoghurt?

I normally buy the yogurt starter yeast from the health food store and use packet milk boiled to certain temperature. Just add the yeast and leave it few hours in room temperature before I store them in the fridge. Too long outside will make them too sour. Sometimes I do use the store bought plain yogurt as the starter. It is equally good.

Hmm... yoghurt starter yeast?
I have not tried that before. Does it have a strong smell after the yoghurt is formed?
How long can the home made yoghurt last?

It is in a small packet and the texture is more like the bread yeast. No when the yogurt is formed there is no smell left. It can last for about 4 days kept in the fridge. Those left over yogurt unconsumed after 4 days you can add it to curries. Then you'll end up with a new version of indian curries.

Hmm... I have never tried using yoghurt into curries before.
Wouldn't it add a little more sourish taste to the curries?

This is something new to me. Hmm... interesting.

Ah... you like the mixed berries flavor!
I too like that some times. But between that and the mixed fruits, I prefer mixed fruits.
For berries, I prefer to have them all strawberries.

Hmm... serving yoghurt with sugar and salt. That is something that is new to me.
You make your own yoghurt at home?
And you eat it everyday with your afternoon meal?
Wouldn't you get sick of eating the same plain yoghurt every day?

Oh? That is an interesting combination.
I may just give it a try just to see what it taste like.
Cottage cheese with yoghurt, interesting!

So, after you mix the cottage cheese and the yoghurt, how long do you let it stay in the fridge to set?
Will it all be liquid and messy when it is thawed?

dont freeze it, just eat it as soon as its made. Its not as tasty as a normal cheesecake but has loads less calories and sugar and provides your body with protein.

Interesting. I will definitely give it a go!
Thanks for sharing that with me!

Oh... honey with yoghurt. That is also a very nice combination.
The subtle sweetness of the honey, with the full creamy feeling of the yoghurt is really nice!
Especially when it is chilled!

I know that in Greece thats one of the most fixed desserts, yoghurt with honey and chopped walnuts.

Woo... that sounds exotic!
And easy to prepare too!
Heh heh...

hi ahgong it is really easy to prepare. We have two varieties of honey here the solid stuff which is good on bread and crystal clear runny honey which runs from the bread when you eat it. You need the runny kind of honey. Just pour Yoghurt in a bowl then drizzle honey on it and add some coarsely chopped walnut pieces. Yummyyyy.

Got it!
I will see if I can get some made up this coming weekend!
Thanks for sharing my friend!

hi ahgong, I forgot to tell you its best with the more "solid" yogurt when the honey will stay on the surface, so to say and not be covered with yoghurt as soon as you drizzle over that honey.

Noted. I will see what I can find in the supermarket this weekend during my weekly grocery shopping.

Yeah, using yogurt to replace cream in the recipe is nice too!
And that unique taste that yogurt gives, it make the cakes and the cookies even yummier.

But not all recipes can carry this though. Need to find the correct ones to use. Otherwise it would not be able to keep for long!
