Top Tip Tuesday: Taste Tests

by Joline Atkins of Slimsavers.com

I was trying to get my kids to eat yogurt. And not the Gogurt Yogurt – meaning not “candy” yogurt. My children are not milk drinkers and don’t dig cheese, and while they do get calcium and D from green veggies, I would like to have an alternative that doesn’t involve steaming.

We headed to the store where I purchased a variety of yogurts: greek, fruit at the bottom, whipped, etc. Several varieties, flavors, and textures.

And then, we did what any sensible family would do. We tasted them all. A sip of water in between.

The verdict?

My son just doesn’t like yogurt. At all. I’ve tried. Not even chocolate entices him.

My daughter liked the Greek variety – but only in vanilla. No fruit on the bottom. Nothing fancy.

I’d never thought of doing a taste test before, but it makes perfect sense.

Try one with: BBQ sauce, salsa, hummus, even.

Have you ever done a taste test with your family on a particular item???? What item? And what was the outcome?
