Yogurt and Sweeteners: The Base of Flavor
Plain Yogurt
First up, we’ve got plain yogurt, the star of the show! I like to use full-fat or Greek yogurt here. It’s going to give you the best creamy texture and rich flavor for these gogurts! If you’re looking for something a bit lighter, you can definitely use low-fat yogurt instead. But if you want a real treat, I totally recommend the full-fat stuff. Trust me, it makes all the difference.
Honey or Sweetener (Optional)
Now, if you like a touch of sweetness, and let’s be honest, who doesn’t? Then you’ll want to grab some honey or your favorite sweetener. Honey is fantastic because it adds a natural sweetness and complements the yogurt beautifully. If you’re vegan or just not a honey fan, agave nectar or maple syrup will work well in this recipe too! Just a little bit does the trick, because nobody wants their gogurts to be too sweet, right?
Flavor Add-Ins
The best part? You can totally customize these homemade gogurts! Think fresh or frozen fruit, vanilla extract, or even a scoop of nut butter! Banana or strawberries are classic favorites; they add a lovely flavor and vibrant color. Plus, a couple of pinches of cinnamon or cocoa powder can elevate them further. It’s all about making it your own!
