I’m from Peru (now in the US) but what we used to get was plain yogurt with grains (kiwicha and some other…) and algarrobina. It was great! and very natural. I used to bring algarrobina from Peru but I ran out years ago. Now that I got that my craving came back I made that connection between algarrobina and molasses that they both sweetened plain yogurt like honey did.

So I just picked up molasses from the store and greek yogurt, thanks to your site I am now more confident that this mix will work out well.

If you are interested in trying this peruvian mix, you can pick up algarrobina if there is a peruvian food store around you or in online stores as well.

Thanks for posting this!

I will be trying the Greek yogurt with molasses tomorrow morning.

Some mentioned watermelon and salt. My cousins and I used to go out to our Grandparents’ garden with a salt shaker. We would pick a few sugar babies (I think that was the variety). They were smallish and very sweet we could crack them open using our knees and sit in the hot summer sun passing the salt shaker around while we gorged on sun-warmed watermelon. Great memories!

My family ate canteloupe with black pepper but no salt. I introduced some of my west coast friends to this treat and at first they were all skeptical but now they love it, too. The pepper enhances the sweetness of the canteloupe.

I looked up your website after seeing you on Beat the Chefs. Great Site! I love Molasses and love Greek yogurt. I never thought of combining the two until now. My late Uncle always made molasses for us and now it’s hit or miss with the ones we purchase in KY, but I will try this. Thanks!

Boy am I glad that I just found this website. What a great resource for loads of info. I just so happen to finally find a greek yogurt that I liked the taste and consistency of…Chobani…I had almost given up. All the GREAT ideas will keep me going with lots of choices for jazzing up the plain greek yogurt. I am diabetic so I have learned that the plain is much better for me this way I can control my own add ins. Great ideas..thanks.

My favorite snack/s are Ricotta cheese, Panna Cotta,, or lightly sautèed apples finished with a drizzle of Mugolio (Italian pine cone syrup).
Actually quite delicate in flavor.

this looks like a really unique combo. the only problem with greek yogurt is that it is void of all of the good probiotics, it is not as healthy as plain whole milk raw yogurt. My go to snack it the previously mentioned raw yogurt with a sprinkling of mixed frozen berries and maybe a teeny drizzle of honey or a small sprinkle of raw sugar (which has such a better flavor than regular sugar), or a dash of vanilla stevia….unfortunately Splenda is just sweet chemicals, not that healthy even if you are saving calories. thanks for the fun idea…I will try this modified tomorrow!
