Greek Yogurt - Non fat plain - what to do with it?

Kimo159

I like to put cinnamon, blueberries and a tiny bit of maple syrup...usually for a dessert. I also usually get 2% because I prefer that to nonfat.

this morning I had 1/2 cup of nonfat plain Greek yogurt, 1/8 cup of quick oats, 1/2 cup drained rinsed mandarin oranges and a sprinkling of flax mill. Like a thick & chunky, very fruity pudding. So good.

Usually do the same thing with any other fruit...faves in my house are fresh pineapple, pitted chopped cherries, blackberries and occasionally chopped banana and pecans.

It's really nice on boiled grapefruit, I also make a tzatziki sauce, very yummy

^This. Basically any recipe calling for sour cream, I use the Greek yogurt instead.

I also like to add granola and honey to the top.

Make chicken tikka masala - then top with more yogurt!

Also, I find that I enjoy eating 2% plain yogurt SO much better than nonfat.

Me too. I'm not afraid of dairy fat. I'd rather have a few more calories from fat than a few more calories from added sugars.

Sadly many stores have tons of shelf-space allocated to 0% fat yogurts - often with excess sugar - and hardly any to proper Greek yogurt with 2% or 5% fat.

As for what to use it on, nothing new from me. I have it with berries 75% of the time for breakfast. Plain gets used in place of sour cream; to reduce the amount of mayo in some dishes; a dollop on top of Indian food (yum) or some soups or stews I make; on burritos, etc.
