    Add honey.

    I was in Turkey this summer and they ate the stuff on everything. Meat, grilled vegetables, with granola, plain... Sooo good.

    I'll have to find the Chobani, so far I've had Greek Gods, which is just ok.

    you can add just a tiny bit of crystal lite to it to give it a great flavor. not normally into additives but in this case it is highly loved by
    many.

    feel free to friend me everyone for some calorie free food for thought on my page daily. ;0 ) Colleen

    I love love love Greek Yogurt. I alternate between Fage and Trader Joe's Both plain and non-fat.

    I like to mix in about a teaspoon of almond butter into 1/2 cup with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for a dessert like treat. I use it in place of sour cream for everything, use it to replace oil in baking, use it for vegetable dip, in smoothie recipes.

    I usually like combining the flavored Chobani with fruit and maybe a little of Trader Joe's Vanilla Almond Clusters cereal....I've mixed like the black cherry Chobani with diced up white nectarine...that was yum :bigsmile:

    I sometimes mix plain with flavored. The flavored greek yogurts are not too sweet like regular flavored yogurts. I just found out that my dairy will deliver Greek Gods with the milk and they are just down the road from the dairy so it will be really fresh.

    I mix it with a tablespoon or so of jam. It makes it sweet and fruity without too many extra calories.

    I find flavoured yoghurts too high in sugar, and too sweet - I love the plain stuff.

    I have it for breakfast with some walnuts, ginger, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

    I blitz a tablespoon or 2 with some peppered mackerel fillets for a great spread or dip. Raita is another super dip - grated cucumber and chopped mint with the yoghurt.

    BUT

    some people really don't like the taste or texture - my fiance wouldn't eat yoghurt if you paid him!

    I'm not a big yogurt person, but I'm using it to keep me regular now. I eat Chobani too and it's eh, okay. It does remind me a lot of sour cream until I stir up the fruit from the bottom. I put 1/4 cup of granola in it to give me that crunch that I love, but man, after all that, it's 340 calories! I could think of better ways to spend those calories, but I'm learning to like it.

    I like to thaw out frozen cherries in a bowl and then mix in the Greek yogurt. The frozen cherries make lots of juice when they thaw, so the flavors mix nicely. Recently I've been mixing a scoop of chocolate protein powder and a little milk with it to make a chocolatey treat.

    When I start craving buttermilk ranch on my salads, I mix up a batch of this:

    1 six oz cup of greek style 0% fat yogurt
    1/2 cup nonfat buttermilk
    1/4 cup reduced fat mayonaise
    2 Tbls white wine vinegar
    1/2 tsp garlic powder (not garlic salt, but powder)
    1/2 tsp black pepper (use fresh ground peppercorns for the best taste)
    dash of salt (optional)
    3 Tblspoons of fresh dill weed (or target sells fresh frozen dill in the produce section and it works great)

    You can either mix them in a blender or with an electric mixer or with a whisk.

    I LOVE greek yogurt, but didnt at first.
    My favorite is Fage because its thicker than the others. I also like the trader joes brand as well. I only get the plain fat free and usually add a little cinnamon, a tsp of ground flaxseed and a packet of stevia. I will also on occasion add a couple tbsp of raisins or a 1/4 cup fiber one cereal.
