I find that the powder is quite difficult to wet, and something viscous like yogurt does a much better job in taking it up than water (Greek yogurt is too thick); possibly your mud provides the same function. Perhaps I should use only plain yogurt and in smaller quantity so as to minimize sugar content until later, rather than using fruit yogurt with a couple of extra spoonfuls to take away the taste. One of the benefits of retirement is that our breakfasts are a fairly light but leisurely affair usually ending up, for me, with fruit.

Actually I didn't take into consideration the difference between powder and liquid. My PM's a highly concentrated liquid.

I'm not sure what you can mix it with to avoid the sugar... There's gotta be something with the viscosity and no sugars. Even plain gurts have pretty substantial sugar content.
