    I use the plain as a topping on my morning oats - Creamy and delicious, a nice tart contrast to warm, goo-ey cinnamon-y oats! :bigsmile:

    Edit: It's also a great balanced breakfast with natural PB or egg whites whipped in... 1/4-1/3 cup of oatmeal goes a long way when you're adding in a jolt of protein as well

    for a healthy dinner, we mix low fat greek yoghurt in with a tin of drained tuna (add some sweet corn and spring onions/scallions or whatever they are called in the States). we have it with a jacket potato and salad or just the salad. we don't add any mayonnaise.

    for pudding/dessert, i add a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg to low fat greek yoghurt, and add a half a teaspoon of vanilla essence. if you have a sweet tooth, throw in a little honey. i also sometimes add some LSA (linseed, sunflower, almond mix from the healthfood shop or supermarket) to boost protein.

    i try to stay away from adding fruit and honey as it's just extra calories i don't need.

    I'm going to be 100% honest here, Chobani isn't my favorite for nonfat greek yoghurt. I would actually recommend either Dannon's Oikos or Yoplait's yoghurt. The texture is nicer and a lot of them have lower sugar content. Both are very yummy though :-)

    Fellow Greek Yogurt Nut..have tried many, but my favorite is Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt-Vanilla. The texture is smooth and addictive. Got most of my coworkers hooked..we call each other Addicts.."we gotta have it!'

    All start with plain, 0% yogurt (Fage preferred, Safeway brand Open Nature second, Dannon Oikos third, Chobani and Stoneyfield Farms Organic Oikos never)

    Add two-three tablespoons of pumpkin puree and cinnamon, nutmeg and ground ginger to taste. You can add a packet of sweetener if you'd like, but I prefer it without. This one is also awesome if you pop it in the freezer for awhile, just to chill and get a little frozen, not frozen solid. It's like an uber creamy pumpkin ice cream.

    One - two tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and one packet of your preferred sweetener.

    Two packets of your preferred sweetener.

    One teaspon of ground cinnamon.

    Two tablespoons of PB2 (regular or chocolate)

    Go savory and make what I call a poor man's tzatziki. Grate some cucumber into it, add a little lemon juice, some chopped dill and some garlic (I prefer putting it through a press). Then enjoy it with veggies.

    I never have the flavored ones, but I love Greek yogurt. I like it with fresh sliced strawberries, fresh blueberries, or fresh pineapple.

    It's also good to use it on things as if it were sour cream. I sometimes have baked potatoes with Greek yogurt and it tastes very close to sour cream on the potato.

    Chobani Vanilla + lime juice + 1 tsp sugar + crumbled graham cracker on top = Key Lime Pie

    I also like mixing in strawberries & almonds, and I'm looking forward to pumpkin.
