: I hate yogurt... even with strawberries.
I've always been one for natural remedies. And that's why I felt particularly annoyed when I went to pick up my prescription at the pharmacy counter and the lady working there knew me. She KNEW me. She had the prescription ready for me before I even gave her my name. She even asked me if I wanted to put my credit card on express pay so I wouldn't have to swipe it!
Yes, this is all a wonderful example of good customer service, and if it didn't involve me buying the drugs I don't want to take... I'd probably be commending her instead of berating her.
Fortunately, I thought of a plan. I'm going to combine this month's prescription with a regimen of probiotics, hoping to heal myself for when I go off them when the prescription runs out.
Unfortunately, until two days ago, the only source of probiotics I knew about was... ug... yogurt.
I hate yogurt. Granted, I also hate things like chocolate... I hate chocolate with a passion. But for the purpose of comparison, I can look at chocolate. I can even smell chocolate. But looking and smelling yogurt makes me want to heave into the nearest available trash can.
I tried mixing it with fruit, but all it produced was a syrupy mess that made the fruit taste bad and the yogurt taste worse. I tried just holding my nose and downing a spoonful, but I had to chase it with an entire glass of water, and even then was gagging into the sink.
Yes. Yogurt is at least a thousand times worse than chocolate.
But then one of my friends told me about a powdered form of Acidophilus, the same bacteria that are present in yogurt. I took a quarter teaspoon of that and mixed it with my orange juice this morning. Not only did it not taste like yogurt, but I hardly tasted it at all! What a great product!!
It's all the medicinal benefits of yogurt without ever having to come within a ten foot radius of a yogurt container!!
