You know those happy accidents? The ones that you totally didn't meant to make but somehow manage to turn completely awesome? This was one of those.
Step 1: Shop at Aldi. (aka my favorite grocery store EVER)
Step 2: Buy this...
Step 3: Get home to realize you have a 32 oz. container of plain yogurt that is most definitely NOT vanilla.
(I would normally cut myself some slack on this because they look so freakin' alike, but I must confess that I made this booboo twice. Two completely separate trips to the store, 3 weeks apart, same outcome).
Step 4: Brainstorm of ways that you can salvage said plain yogurt without having to go back to the store and return it.
Step 5: Make your own flavored yogurt!
This is so easy I'm surprised I've never done it before. What you'll need:
- 32 oz. plain yogurt (3 cups)
- 3 Tbsp sugar (I used a sugar substitute, no calories and same taste!)
- 3 tsp vanilla extract (or another preferred flavor)
Mix with some fruit and granola and it's a perfect breakfast snack.
Do you have any happy accidents?

We get the plain yogurt for my daughter {we are kind of anti-sugar for our little ones}. Sometimes if I am out of the vanilla flavored I'll add a little applesauce and some blueberries and it is just perfect!
I've never tried to flavor my own yogurt but now I will, thanks to you. I like controlling the sugar. Thanks for posting this. I've even been interested in making my own yogurt, but I haven't tried that yet.
