Instructions

Things You'll Need

• 32-ounce container of plain yogurt
• 2 packages of instant pudding

1. Buy a 32-ounce container of plain yogurt. Save money by buying your local store brand. If you can't find plain yogurt, vanilla flavored will do just fine. You can use whole, lite or fat free.

2. Buy two packages of instant pudding in any flavor you want. You can buy the sugar free instant pudding if you are watching your calories. If you want a flavor that is not available in pudding, like pineapple or strawberry, buy vanilla yogurt and also pick up some flavored extract in the flavor you want.

3. Dump the tub of yogurt into a bowl and add the pudding mix (and extract if you are using extract) and mix well with a whisk or fork. Then put it back in the tub, cover the mixture, store it in the refrigerator and let it chill. The yogurt will be thick and creamy and ready to eat in just a few minutes.
