I like to buy the large plain Fage 2% for cost and I don't love the fruit jelly on the side. Problem is, I can't eat it by itself. I've added sunflower seed butter, honey, blueberries and Ekeziel cereal (not at the same time!) - just read someone's suggestion to mix in some protein powder and let it sit in the fridge to thicken. I'll definitely give that a go!

Any other brilliant greek yogurt combinations I should try?

    Today I had pancakes that I stuffed with vanilla greek yogurt and strawberries.

    I like any mixture of Kashi, granola, nuts, fruit, honey or maple syrup.

    I know a lot of people use plain greek yogurt in savory dishes as a replacement for sour cream or to add some creaminess and protein.

    My favorite recipe is half a cup of nonfat plain greek yogurt, one teaspoon of maple syrup, a couple sprinkles of cinnamon, and half an ounce of toasted walnuts. Yum!

    I do 6-8oz of plain greek yogurt, and add around 40g of Sweet Home Farm granola, and craisins. Or hot cocoa & a scoop of french vanilla protein powder. Mostly use greek yogurt for smoothies, though.

    VERY ripe peaches diced really small. Also peel the bitter skin from a plum and chop it small. ZOMG. Delish in yogurt. Also a bit of a drizzle of distilled orange blossom water and honey is delicious.

    We have pretty much replaced all our sour cream with plain greek yogurt. There's so much more tanginess and richness to it. Not to mention a ton more protein!

    I add strawberries to my plain greek yogurt. Less calories and sugar. To add crunch I put in a teaspoon of flax seeds or almond slivers.

    You can make tzatziki sauce with it. Yum.

    My favorite is chestnut cream, but it's a pain to find, and pretty much pure sugar. Otherwise, fruit and a bit of stevia (peaches, plums or strawberries typically), or PB2 with a bit of stevia.

    If I buy plain greek yogurt, I add a little homemade jam to it, or even just some mashed fruit. I had some no sugar added orange marmalade one time and stirred that in--it was wonderful! :)

    Awhile ago I noticed a friend mix plain yogurt with cottage cheese, then my aunt says she grew up eating it as well, just adding fruit. I thought it sounded weird, but I tried it with pineapple and I love it!
