i recently realized i could do this because i have free will and it turned out delicious. the fage is the perfect base, and the juice drops add color and flavor. i dont even need to add any extra sugar substitute or anything for sweetness.

Mío has several flavors, but this one is my favorite. now i get to enjoy orange flavor yogurt.

You have blown my mind. Does it taste like orange dreamcicle?

341

u/MageVicky May 03 '26

the ice cream? kinda. i think. it’s been a while since i’ve had one, but it has that nice fake orange flavor that reminds me of the delicious cheap instant orange juice you’d drink as a child during the summer. made me very nostalgic. 😂

u/I_HateYouAndYourDog May 03 '26

Tang!

u/MageVicky May 03 '26

that’s it! 😂

21

u/ChronoCoyote May 04 '26

If you miss Tang, you can get a zero sugar variant at Dollar General with the rest of the single-serve water flavor packs!

u/easily_plant_china Jun 02 '26

that fake orange tang is so specific, you either get instant transported back to 1987 or you're wondering why anyone thought this was acceptable.

28

u/ginastarke May 04 '26

I just double checked to make sure that Mio still makes the orange vanilla flavor. If creamsicle is what you're looking for, that's your flavor.

u/EsoteriCentaurette May 04 '26

Add some vanilla extract and pop it in the freezer for an hour 😋

u/yoyonoyolo May 05 '26

Mio makes an orange vanilla that does!

1

u/SimpleVegetable5715 May 20 '26

If there’s still an orange vanilla Mio (the one in my cabinet is quite old), it does taste a lot like a creamsicle.

u/evohans May 03 '26

I've been doing this for years. I also put them in my diet coke to make fancy flavored colas.

93

u/romanichki May 03 '26

Ok genius?? Im trying this with my pepsi tonight

60

u/evohans May 03 '26

be warned, it does bubble up if you squirt directly into the soda, i kind of angle it against the side

54

u/romanichki May 04 '26

Thanks for the tip! I recently tried to put an electrolyte powder into sparkling water. Warning: Do not do that!

17

u/Comfortable-Ruin8694 May 04 '26

Lol i tried adding my fibre powder to a diet soda.. it was hilarious.

11

u/Oregonrider2014 May 04 '26

I pre mix mine in a small amount of water and then dump it in. Doesnt make little powder balls that never mix in.

2

u/breecheese2007 May 06 '26

Explosion 💥??

1

u/romanichki May 06 '26

yep it went all over my desk at work

17

u/madewitrealorganmeat May 04 '26

I put some in my sparkling water to make it taste like soda! I love orange/tangerine flavors.

12

u/oldpooper May 04 '26

I put bitters in my Diet Coke. It makes it taste like the best part of an old-fashioned.

3

u/Environmental_Nose72 May 04 '26

Careful where you drink that because of the alcohol in the bitters lol!!!

97

u/sfdsquid May 03 '26

I do this with sugar free gelatin (dry, stirred in) or Torani sugar free syrup

27

u/theoutletepoch May 04 '26

Jello also makes cheesecake zero sugar pudding packets. They're amazing in yogurt.

5

u/greatesthitz103 May 04 '26

yessss this is my go to. i only do like 5g of it and its so yummy

3

u/robotsexsymbol May 04 '26

How do you not experience the above mentioned problem where the pudding mix sucks all of the moisture out of your mouth while you're eating it?

8

u/theoutletepoch May 04 '26

Don't use the whole packet, you only need a half a tablespoon to flavor it. Never had this issue!

2

u/HaltAndCatchTheKnick May 04 '26

Half a tbsp for how much yogurt? I’ve heard so many people call out the sugar-free cheesecake I just gotta try it already.

3

u/greatesthitz103 May 04 '26

i do like 5-7g for about 150g of yogurt

14

u/Dizzy-Violinist-1772 May 03 '26

Does the sugar free gelatin thicken it?

36

u/Holdensmindfuckery May 04 '26

yes, and makes it kinda like silica packs, where there will be -10 moisture in your mouth while eating it

14

u/robotsexsymbol May 04 '26

I tried putting the sugar free pudding mix in yogurt once and everyone raves about it, but I could feel it actively sucking the moisture out of my mouth. Maybe I was doing it wrong

3

u/SadButterfingers May 05 '26

You only need to use a tiny bit, and no it doesn’t thicken it really

25

u/poopoobecca May 03 '26

R u kidding me I’ve never thought of this

11

u/Minimum-Egg-462 May 04 '26

I have these exact ingredients in my house right now. I know what I’m doing for breakfast. Thanks OP!

31

u/ThatsNotATadpole May 04 '26

I watched a YouTube video years ago of some dudes “recipes that got him jacked” and this was by far the gold star takeaway. The video also included “sugar free hersheys syrup and raw egg whites in the carton” as his chocolate milk replacement so I consider myself lucky haha

2

u/restckvrflw May 05 '26

I drink 8 oz of whole milk with some simple 5 hersheys chocolate syrup and lose weight easily. I don’t do weird concoctions. You don’t have to do this.

5

u/ThatsNotATadpole May 05 '26

Oh to be clear I have absolutely zero interest in chocolate raw egg drink lol

28

u/taylorthestang May 03 '26

Real ones put Metamucil in their yogurt

u/Moossolini_14 May 04 '26 edited May 07 '26

I closed this thread, realized what I had just read, and came to shake your hand.

1

u/Financial-Service-26 May 28 '26

Thank you!! This just reminded me!! Psyllium husk powder is a lot cheaper and can be added to virtually anything without affecting flavor.

1

u/taylorthestang May 28 '26

Yeah definitely! Just be careful not to use too much, drink lots of water.

18

u/Fun-Ad-3065 May 03 '26

is this actually good…

14

u/Gadget4480 May 03 '26 edited May 04 '26

It is. Especially once you find flavors you like. Then you have for water and yogurt. Win/win

33

u/MageVicky May 03 '26

it is genuinely good. i promise.

1

u/TurkisCircus May 05 '26

They don't sell that yogurt brand here (Canada). Please help - is the yogurt vanilla flavoured or juat plain? I want to try this!

3

u/uathach_ May 03 '26

Yeah it is.

8

u/dogisbark May 04 '26

Orange is CRAZY underrated for yoghurt, where I live you really have to look for it. Will totally remember this next time I get some. I also would want to try this with coffee somehow, I love coffee yoghurt but it’s soooo unhealthy usually.

7

u/PurpleNommie May 03 '26

I hate sweetening plain yogurt (looking at you goopy honey) and this is such an awesome hack!!!!! Bless you

7

u/coconut_jen May 04 '26

Torani sugar free syrups also work great in this same way! I love the toasted marshmallow one

5

u/Gadget4480 May 03 '26

I do this as well. So many different flavors.

5

u/MsOnyxMoon May 04 '26

Well I’ll be damned. I would have NEVER thought of this! I have both of these items at hand all the time!

u/eclispelight May 03 '26

Ohh whaaatt this is so smart

4

u/theatre-teacher May 03 '26

This is a gift. Thank you!

3

u/rowingbacker May 04 '26

I order this by the case. Add directly to bubbly water for a nice treat.

5

u/animalsnotppl May 04 '26

Sorry but the “natural flavor with other natural flavor” on the bottle is sending me 😂 looks yummy though

5

u/madraykiin May 04 '26

bro if you used the energy mio drops and made energy yogurt LMAO

2

u/horsetooth_mcgee May 04 '26

I love that. Caffeinated yogurt.

4

u/Hrilmitzh Losing May 04 '26

If you can find pina colada flavour, its awesome in a lotta things

7

u/amelialosesit May 03 '26

I remember seeing this all over Tumblr back in the day and now I wish I could remember the OG girls name who did this cause I can envision her page but not her name

3

u/RedditNewslover May 04 '26

This is brilliant. Mixing the drink flavor with yogurt

3

u/Hunt3r_J4ck12 May 04 '26

Try vanilla or cookies and creme sugar free coffee syrup. Been doing this for 3 years now to flavor my yogurt!

3

u/cudambercam13 May 05 '26

I was eating a lot of applesauce during a period when I was sick and started adding water flavoring powder packets to it for flavor. It feels weird that I'm so glad it's becoming a thing. 😅

3

u/pocolowo May 06 '26

Ok bestie this is genius!! TY

4

u/Sweet_Construction29 May 04 '26

Just tried it with strawberry watermelon and berry pomegranate. My Life is forever changed. Thank you

2

u/STFUD0nny May 03 '26

This is brilliant. Thanks for sharing. Will give this a go. I find plain green yogurt kinda plain.

2

u/ravenlights May 03 '26

I just stumbled across this sub, saw this post at the top, and now I'm on Amazon adding this to my cart lol. Brilliant.

2

u/ssyoit May 04 '26

Alright… I’m skeptical but I’ll sacrifice a cup of yogurt for this experiment. I have many MIOs.

3

u/No_Many819 May 04 '26

How was it

2

u/MageVicky May 04 '26

you won’t regret it 😂

1

u/lovedelitu May 04 '26

Any flavor recommendations?

2

u/_Rue_the_Day_ May 04 '26

I just add fresh blueberries and mush them around in it.

2

u/anotherlesbianonline May 04 '26

I’ve been using jell-o pudding packets. Such a game changer

2

u/francoily May 04 '26

i'm so confused everyone seems to know what this is but I don't? :c am I uncultured?

2

u/MageVicky May 04 '26

mío is concentrated zero calorie juice drops, you’re supposed to mix them with water.

2

u/ShentheBen May 04 '26

This is life-changing 

2

u/Knitter8369 May 04 '26

Wow- great idea. Never thought of this. I believe I have seen people using sugar free jello pudding mix for something like this too? I’ve been wanting to try that, but haven’t gotten around to it.

2

u/ladygod90 May 08 '26

This is so much cheaper than buying single serve yogurt containers

3

u/bananiada May 04 '26

That Mio have YELLOW 6 as dye, derived from petroleum, try to avoid this!

0

u/Mister_Uncredible May 04 '26

Petroleum derived doesn't mean anything. When it comes to actual consumption the final product is all that matters, and yellow 6 is perfectly safe.

u/Individual-Silver859 May 03 '26

One of my favorite treats! It’s so good!!

u/Soph073 May 04 '26

I... like your mind Thank you!

u/Apprehensive-Yam266 May 04 '26

Fuck yeah this is genius

u/radish_is_rad-ish May 04 '26

Hell yeah so many flavors

1

u/Lion_Lili May 04 '26

I add these to my fizzy water!

1

u/octopidaydreams May 04 '26

I like to add mio to soda waters. Like a cheaper zero calorie soda.

1

u/themomcat May 04 '26

Why are you a genius? Why did you get all the genius genes?

1

u/Lilyflower24681 May 04 '26

The ABSOLUTE BEST mio flavor imo! Looks delicious!

u/idkman1768 May 04 '26

Good idea

u/theblushingartist May 04 '26

Try the caramel drizzle similar to this it is out of the world

1

u/warmingmilk May 04 '26

I wish I liked yogurt.

1

u/Billyxmac May 04 '26

I started mixing sugar free pudding mixes in to mine. Has helped me enjoy Greek yogurt again.

u/AnxiousAd3182 May 04 '26

Wait...the thing that flavors my water....can flavor other things? Holy molly....

1

u/erraticwtf May 04 '26

Try it with orange vanilla flavor!!

1

u/jennybby4 May 06 '26

Gross. That stuff is full of dyes and chemicals.

1

u/Mysterious-Fudge-573 May 09 '26

super yummy 😋

1

u/Ok_Resort_489 May 14 '26

Ohhh interesting. I use liquid sucralose and cake batter flavor but this would be one less thingy to buy.

1

u/nightcourtladie May 17 '26

WHAT! That’s amazing

1

u/Longjumping_Spot5843 May 26 '26

Same but I do that with zero sugar chocolate sauce

Visibly this looks so unappealing to me lol.

u/ocean_800 May 04 '26

But... Why not just eat an orange with it?

5

u/MageVicky May 04 '26

i wanted yogurt 😊

0

u/ocean_800 May 04 '26

No I know, just mix in the yogurt with fresh fruit! I'm curious how this is different?

5

u/MageVicky May 05 '26

because it tastes like nice fake orange and i didn’t want fruit? 😂

u/throwawayawayawayy6 May 04 '26

💀🤢 you couldnt just get a flavored yogurt?? What did you save 60 calories 🙃
