Yogurt ???

Active cultures don't sound very appetizing to me either, but i do eat yogurt on a regular basis.


All About Yogurt

You really dont want to know.


But...if your thinking you really dont want to eat yogurt and want the question answered...here ya go

My intestinal flora got messed up with taking antibiotics recently, so it was active yogurt for me. I've been having it every day - and funnily enough, I'm really starting to like it.

I ate it to be virtuous for years. Never liked it. I finally figured out that I like fruit on the bottom yogurt - as long as I don't stir it up. I just eat the yogurt layer.

Yogurt and toast. A nice meal. Really.

LittleK knows about some of the better brands in your zone.

hamburger knows a lot about the whole 'active' yogurt thing. Maybe he'll pop by.

The anti-biotics thing is why I was told I should be eating this stuff too.

But from the links provided (Thanks peeps! ) it looks like I should be looking for a "Live & Active Cultures" seal on the container somewhere.

Intestinal flora.. yeash. I'm gonna see if I can grow some intestinal roses this year. As long as it's not that fauna stuff I guess it's ok.

OUR FAMILY RECIPE: CULTURED PASTEURIZED ORGANIC WHOLE MILK, NATURALLY MILLED ORGANIC SUGAR, ORGANIC COCOA, INULIN, ORGANIC NATURAL VANILLA FLAVOR, NATURAL FLAVORS, PECTIN. CONTAINS SIX LIVE ACTIVE CULTURES INCLUDING: S. THERMOPHILUS, L. BULGARICUS, L. ACIDOPHILUS, BIFIDUS, L. CASEI, AND L. REUTERI LIVE ACTIVE CULTURES.

My favorite is Yoplait's low fat Boston Cream Pie. They also make a yummy custard yogurt, however, it's very fattening.

6 oz of the full fat French Vanilla is 170 calories. Not too much to worry about.

I've just been reading some studies suggesting that eating low-fat and fat-free foods exclusively can lead to overall weight gain, so I think this might be another good time for 'all things in moderation'.

I used to do yogurt but, found all I really liked was lemon..and then I got tired of it...eh...what can you do.

It is very good for you and yeah, with antibiotics its something you should do...especially gals..ahem.

When I'm in the U.S., I like to get lemon and chocolate yogurts and swirl them together.

I just found one here which is a yogurt mousse! Amazing. It has a really silky mouthfeel. You'd swear you were having a very decadent dessert.

oh..now a mousse might be nice.

I tried some chocolate swirls but, it just wasnt workin for me with the yogurt for some reason.

Swirl your own, girl, swirl your own.

Find some of that La Creme Mousse - it may bring you back to yogurt (it was the first step of my return to active yogurt - is there such a thing as 12 steps to active yogurt?)

Ill have to give it a look next time Im shopping, thanks for the headsup

You got some good responses, fishin. Yogurt is wonderful for you. Stonyfield famrs definitely has live bacteria as does yoplait. It will say on the label if it has active/live cultures/bacteria.

oh, and with stonyfield farms yogurt (haha - I typed yofurt), start with the varieties that DO NOT have whole fruit in them. The whole fruit varieties tend to be a bit, um, chewy.

Oh, that stuff! I tried several flavors and hated it. When Barney was very young and on antibiotics, the vet recommended "plain yogurt". Barney liked it, I tried it, and it wasn't half bad, though a bit slimey. It seems they pasturize the stuff and then add back the bacteria. This may be another name for "active."

I'm not awful fond of fruit yogurts, but I like plain yogurt used in the same way as sour cream...

One of our favorite meals around here is chicken with rice and yogurt... Cook the rice and mix in a bunch of whatever herbs you like, stir fry chicken in bite-sized pieces. Make a heap of rice on the plate, top it with chicken and use plain nonfat yogurt as a sauce... You don't need to salt it; the yogurt adds a sharp flavor. It's low-fat, tasty, quick to make -- just a good meal!
