Disgusting yoghurts !!!!

livinginhope

Evening all,the livinginhope household get through loads of yoghurts,last week I bought 8 Asda pre-biotic honey flavoured and 4 strawberry pre-biotic,both have added fibre bits,all I can say is they are revolting and none of us will eat them,as I don't want to admit defeat and waste them do you have any ideas what I can do with them,I won't make the same mistake and buy them again
Thanks in advance :A

Poor you!! Im sure someone will come along with some fab advice for how to turn manky yogurt into a delish cake or something but if it was me.....sling it!
sorry - not very money saving I know .....

What is it that you don't like about them? If they taste OK but the texture is the problem, maybe you could freeze them and eat them as a sort of "ice cream"...?!

I made the chocolate yoghurt cake today. There was absolutely no way it could go into a tin for a couple of days to mature as it tastes far too nice to last in my house for more than 24 hours. I'm sure the honey yoghurt wouldn't change the flavour too much though if they are quite sweet you may want to reduce the amount of sugar a bit. Strawberry and chocolate also goes together quite well so why not give it a try?

You could try mixing them with about 1oz of muesli - leave the mixture to stand in the fridge overnight, and the muesli bits plump up and it makes a filling breakfast. Hopefully the muesli would mask whatever it is about the yogurts you don't like.

I cannot say exactly what the problem is ,they are watery and have a strong taste of artificial sweetener,the 'bits' are like pearl barley? they really are horrible and I will eat anything ,I hate wasting anything.
I've put one in the freezer and see what happens,if OK will put the others in.

Thanks for the cake troll35,will make this tomorrow with the honey yoghurts,they don't actually taste of honey,more like a flowery lemony taste IYKWIM,don't see why they wouldn't work with this cake,thanks again!

Yuck! Probably trying to hide the flavour in a choccy cake is a good idea then...

Also like the idea of adding muesli - if you add unsweetened muesli it should balance out the sweetness and hopefully remove the watery-ness (and help to hide the pearl barley-like bits as well).:D

I hope you manage to do something with them - but thanks anyway for the warning...we shop in Asda and love yoghurts, so appreciate the warning about these - one to avoid I feel!!:rolleyes:
