Disgusting Abomination

I could barely choke this down.

3/4 of an orange
4-5 Tbsp. non-fat Greek yogurt
Small handful oats
4-5 chunks of frozen mango

This was really not appealing at all.  The yogurt flavor was pretty strong, which as we've already covered, I'm not a fan of.  I'm only including yogurt for the health benefits, not the flavor.  I'm not sure where I went wrong here, which is what this blog is all about - documenting my efforts so I can tweak things next time.

Questions:
Was I just too heavy-handed with the yogurt on this one?
Are these fruits not bold enough to mask the taste of the yogurt?
Is this combination of fruits just plain not good, even if the yogurt is removed from the equation?

Only more experimentation (science!) will tell the answer....

  1. I'd skip the Greek Yogurt unless you are making a sauce like labna. Go for plain yogurt, less strong.

  2. I disagree about the yogurt, personally. To my tastebuds, Greek yogurt is generally much less yogurt-y. I think I just put too much in this one..... Also supposedly Greek yogurt is healthier for a multitude of reasons I don't really remember but can easily be googled.
