This post is a part of a series of 101 ways to flavor plain yogurt. (Keep scrolling down after you click on link to see the entire list.) For more information about yogurt in general, go to my Yogurt page.
This week I’ve decided to give you a bunch of ideas for flavoring plain yogurt based on cocktails. My husband went to bartending school back in the day. As a result, we have a small cocktail library. I dusted them off and set about to select those that sounded intriguing and whose names are kid-friendly.
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1-2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt and lime juice until smooth. Garnish with cranberry sauce and serve.
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
Banana slices
Chopped peach
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, sugar, and lime juice until combined. Top with banana and peaches. Serve
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon sugar
Fresh pineapple, chopped
Sweetened coconut, toasted
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt and sugar until smooth. Top with pineapple and coconut. Serve immediately.
My kids love the vibrant pink color the yogurt turns once the cranberry sauce is mixed in.
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1-2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
1/3 cup chopped fresh pineapple
Spoon the yogurt into a small bowl. Top with pineapple and cranberry sauce. Serve immediately.
This was not as disgusting as I thought it would be. I actually ate the whole thing. But I might have sprinkled a little sugar on top first.
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup chopped peeled and skinned grapefruit
1 tablespoon cranberry sauce
Place yogurt in a small bowl. Top with grapefruit and cranberry sauce. Serve.
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon cranberry sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh peach
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt and cranberry sauce until combined. Top with peaches. Serve.
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate
1/4 cup chopped fresh peach
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt and orange juice concentrate until well combined. Top with peaches and serve.

What a great idea! You’ve inspired me to try some fuzzy navel yogurt later today. Never thought I’d say that. By the way- do you take the photos yourself? They are EXCELLENT!

I HATE yogurt (except in smoothies when I can’t taste them) so these ideas are very helpful.
Your photos look great!

You all are so nice. Yes, the photos are all mine. I feel like I’ve still got a bit to learn. As they say – the more you know the less you know. Thanks!

Oh wow, I just saw the Woo Woo Yogurt. I used to drink those in college (peach liquor, vodka and cranberry). How funny to find it as a snack for my little one. Great blog, I’m in central CT too!
