another vote for FOTB. Now that I’ve become more health conscious, I miss it greatly. For some reason “light” yogurt aparrently doesn’t come FOTB, and the mixed in texture has taken quite of bit of getting used to. My reason is probably similar to Theobroma’s More like real fruit with yogurt.
I kind of like both. I like the pre-mixed though, because it doesn’t have all the little seeds. My favorites are vanilla, banana, peach and lemon. I also like the creamy mixtures, like chocolate strawberry and all that.
Oh man, I WANT YOGURT!!!
ewwww i can’t believe so many of you like the FOTB… pre-mixed for me please
Okay, this is for maybelze05 because I see her location.

I’m of mixed opinion on this issue. I like plain yogurt, but only very rarely can you get it in individual servings (large tubs of yogurt are another discussion altogether). I always feel guilty about leaving the over-sweet fruit, though, because I’ve paid for it. I can’t stand FOTB yogurt mixed together; it’s all lumpy and disgusting.
It’s hard to find pre-mixed yogurt that’s vegetarian-friendly, though. Most of it (in the US, at least) contains gelatin.
I like my yogurt either way, although my favorite flavor is coffee, which only comes pre-mixed. My grandmother taught me Skammer’s upside-down yogurt sundae method, which is great for FOTB.
Recently I discovered Knudsen’s new Cottage Doubles, which is cottage cheese with a little container of fruit on the side. Delicious! I’m partial to the raspberry and apple-cinnamon flavors. You can eat some of the cottage plain, some with a little fruit topping, and some all mixed together. You can also make a great open-faced sandwich by spreading a layer of cottage cheese and a layer of fruit on a slice of toast. Looks like it’s just about lunch time…
I buy the big containers of plain yogurt, divide it into individual 1-cup portions which I store in reusable containers, and eat it with canned fruit (either juice-pack or in “extra light syrup”) or fresh fruit in season.
I get a full 8 ounces of yogurt, not 6 plus 2 of jam. If you’re counting calories, eating yogurt this way gives you more protein, calcium , and vitamins for the same amount of calories as the typical “6+2” ,whether FOTB or blended.
I do indulge in the occasional blended yogurt if I can find coffee flavor.
