The Best Way to Add Flavor to Plain Yogurt

If you’ve struggled to know how to doctor up plain yogurt and keep it healthy, you will love this tip from Bethany as much as I do!

The Best Way to Add Flavor to Plain Yogurt

From Bethany:

We’ve really been enjoying our Javita here, and it really helped a lot over our recent vacation! I wanted to share with you a little fun thing. We have struggled with yogurt since cutting sugar. The flavored ones are loaded with so much sugar (and often other junk), but the pain is so…. plain, and my kids have disliked every flavoring I’ve tried to add. Until today! I had the idea to mix a packet of Defend into a tiny bit of milk and then mix that into a container of plain yogurt. Everyone loved it, even my pickiest kids! Hooray! Now we can eat yogurt again!

I LOVE this! We’ve always added fresh or frozen fruit to flavor our plain yogurt. Then we add some kind of sweetener, usually real maple syrup. This is great, but what I love about Bethany’s idea to stir in a Defend is that not only does it flavor and sweeten the yogurt (with stevia), it provides our bodies with all the immune system benefits of drinking a Defend.

Why I Trust Defend:

My family has been drinking Defend all winter to help us fight sicknesses that have been going around. I personally find that Defend mixed with Flex is a perfect combo as the Flex adds anti-inflammatory help with keeps my asthma in check along with Defend’s immunity boost.

So consider all the benefits of yogurt to keep our guts healthy, then add Defend and we’ve got a winning, delicious combination!

Thank you, Bethany, for sharing this fun information you discovered!

    We had this yet again this morning! I’m going to have to go back to making yogurt at the rate they’re eating it. ?

    What a fun idea! We’ve been using Defend this winter, too, and have been staying blessedly healthy overall. We have a powdered “green drink” that we used to mix with juice, but is just as good mixed with Defend instead for an extra boost the kids love to drink. I haven’t tried it yet in jello as a sub for juice or sugary mixes, but I’ve heard it’s good. Thanks for the inspiration to keep experimenting!

    We make various compotes for ours. I make mine in the instant pot while my yogurt is cooling…
    Dump 1bag of frozen fruit. Add a touch of your preferred sweetener and a splash of OJ. Let sit for 10min until they thaw a bit. Pressure cook for 4min. Quick release. Sauté and stir until thick (about 1-2min). Pour into jar and refrigerate.
    Kids add some plain yogurt and compote (I guess the English word is sauce) to their yogurt and eat it up. Sometimes topped with granola.
    The current fav is the cherry compote. It’s just so easy.
