Flavoured yogurt in 3 easy delicious combinations: mocha, raspberry, prune. Perfect as a low carbbreakfast or healthy snack anytime. Making flavored yogurt is easier than you think!

Today on the blog I am sharing not one but 3 recipes! I will show you how to make flavoured yogurt using 3 delicious combinations. It’s so easy and fun to do you’ll never want to eat ready made flavoured yogurt again!

Yogurt makes a convenient and delicious snack, especially if you enjoy it with toppings such as fruit, nuts or a drizzle of maple syrup. When it comes to flavoured yogurt there are so many varieties it can be difficult to decide which is healthy and which is more dessert than yogurt. Because despite boasting high nutritional content many yogurts contain lots of sugar. And as for the taste, well, you can’t really taste fresh fruit in the fruity ones. At least that’s always been my perception.

The good news is that it’s super easy to flavour plain yogurt and create exactly the kind of taste you want.

Plus you are in control of the sugar content of your homemade flavoured yogurt! You may not have to add any sugar (or syrup) at all.

You can make a large batch, keep it refrigerated and it will last you for a few days.

And plain yogurt with lots of toppings, although admittedly very tasty, is really not the same as flavoured yogurt with lots of toppings. The flavoured one is so much more delicious! Give it a try↓

Equipment you'll need

• Measuring cup and spoons
• 3 mixing bowls
• Saucepan and spoon
• Blender

Ingredients

• 1 cup thick yogurt/Skyr
• 1 tsp instant coffee granules

2. Raspberry Yogurt

This fruity yogurt can be made using fresh or frozen fruit so it’s an all season recipe. Top with more fruit (plus nuts and/or granola) for a more satisfying snack. I cooked the fruit briefly (4 minutes) to reduce its water content before combining with the yogurt. This is necessary so the yogurt doesn’t become a smoothie!

I used a similar method in my cherry overnight oats with cocoa recipe, which you might also like.

• 1 cup thick yogurt/Skyr
• ⅔ cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup

Which is the best yogurt for you?

The simple answer is: low in sugar and fat. Daily Mail published findings of a study comparing various types of yogurt, which concluded that it is best to buy low sugar and fat yogurt and add your own toppings to it.

Go for yogurts with added probiotics, which have additional health benefits. Low fat and low sugar Greek yogurt is a good choice. But so are Skyr and quark. Although you may not love these products on their own (I personally find them a bit acidic) they work great in flavoured yogurt recipes.
