What do you put in your Greek yogurt?!?!?

bigbugboo

I use home grown strawberries or raspberries and a teaspoon of runny honey. Peanut butter sounds delicious!

I make my Double Chocolate Peanut Butter yogurt just about everyday.

I start with a 1/2 cup of Fage's nonfat plain yogurt, add in a teaspoon of peanut butter, a scoop of chocolate protein powder and stir until very smooth. Then I add in 2 tablespoons of Quaker granola, 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips (this is my daily chocolate fix), and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds (need those Omega3s and antioxidants).

I do another quick stir and that's my breakfast. Yum!

Usually fresh fruit and chia seeds for breakfast. But I also use it instead of sour cream on baked potatoes and lately I've been eating it with steamed broccoli. If I'm hungry at the end of the day and I have a bunch of calories left over, then I'll melt peanut butter and put it in along with honey and crumbled up graham crackers. Yesterday I mixed some pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and pumpkin spice in it and used it as a dip.

I use Greek honey and walnuts if I am eating it alone...too die for good. But otherwise I use it instead of sour cream almost all the time.

so you'd use it on a baked potato or a taco?

Yes to both of those. I think it depends on the brand, though. I've found that the Fage tastes just like sour cream, but the Kirkland brand I bought last time doesn't so much. Kirkland may be cheaper, but I think I'm going back to Fage next time.

I've been eating mine like this. I place it in a 9 ounce plastic container in this order:

10 frozen raspberries (I bought a bunch on sale a few weeks ago)
1 packet Splenda (or sweetener of your choice)
8 ounces yogurt

I throw it together at home and by the time I get to work, the raspberries are thawed. I mix it all up at that point and the raspberries release juice and get smushy and make it all completely yummy. I still have some frozen blueberries, so when the raspberries are gone, I'm switching.

I've also added some granulated onion and garlic, and a pinch of salt, to the yogurt and made my own onion veggie dip.

Last night I stirred in some pumpkin butter with the Vanilla Almond Just the Clusters cereal from Trader Joe's(in some 0% Fage). :drinker:

Crushed bananas in plain greek yogurt is delicious and SUPER filling. I use 1/2 cup plain yogurt and one small or medium banana.

Yep, all the time. If a sauce or soup calls for it, I use it there too.

Have you already calculated the calories?

ammbbbeeeerrrrr

theroadto100

Cinnamon and maple syrup!

Molldoll0702

ahh this thread is great, I've been looking for new ways to eat greek yogurt!!! I either get the flavored ones from chobani, or mix alittle honey and fresh fruit into the plain

anetap2000

honey, homemade strawberry jam or sunflower seeds

adidrea

I like to add sugar free instant jello mix. For example, if you mix a tbsp or two of the sugar free cheesecake jello mix in with plain greek yogurt and add a bit of honey or sweetener it tastes just like cheesecake! And there are so many flavors

I also like to add fruit, granola, ground flax seeds, fruit preserves (currently in love with raspberry and peach), and occasionally I'll bake it with sugar on top to make a breakfast creme brulee YUM.

Also, I use it instead of sour cream, like in my mashed potatoes, with veggies, and on meat.

Bump....Yummy ideas!

magnumgirl

OMG!!! Peanut Butter!!! I never thought of that one. I know what I'm having tomorrow for Breakfast. Thanks I always just put fresh fruit and a little Fibre One cereal. Or Granola.

Maryee71

wow! What a help this post has been. Never thought of adding some of these things like the jello and the pudding/peanut butter..
I will add dill weed and some garlic salt and use for a dip with carrots/celery.

catintheshell

sweet- honey, homemade apple butter, no-sugar added fruit spreads, fresh or frozen berries (dark cherries are the best IMO!), low-fat granolas...

savory- anything that calls for sour cream, mixed with tuna to make tuna salad, all sorts of dips!

i love Greek yogurt so much. i was being cheap last week and just bought plain blended yogurt, and it's been a real rough week. XD

this thread is giving me many more ideas...

Oh man, anything and everything - I also put my Greek yogurt in stuff! I pretty much use it in place of sour cream/cream cheese/mayonnaise! It's great as raita (with cucumber, mint, garlic and celery seed), or a taco topping (chipotle peppers, lime and cilantro), in smoothies, or with any kind of berry, mango, nuts, canned pumpkin/honey mixed in...I love Greek Yogurt

Grape nuts, but you have to measure just a small amount because they are calorie dense. Fresh blueberries are yum, too.

Tiffanydepiano

I add garlic salt some grated parmesan and a little salt and pepper. Then I dip veggies in it. Hey, it might be good with dry ranch dressing mix in it too.

Birder150

cocoa powder & splenda.

juice from a lemon & splenda.

berries.

pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice & splenda.

homemade applesauce.

rarely, because I'll eat too much of it ... walnuts & pure maple syrup.

My current fave Greek yogurt is Oikos 2%. I also like Liberté brand.

Granola!!
I keep four different varieties of granola around and pick whichever one is best for my needs (more protein/less calories/no sugar/ect)
I usually buy the flavored chobani, pinapple is so yum, and blueberry with honey granola tastes just like a muffin.
I am for sure buying some plain and making a veggie dip now though, I miss veggie dips so much!

kassandra81

flaxseed, oats, cinnamon, stevia, protein powder, berries...

However, I am definately going to try it with peanut butter now! YUM!

PlunderBunneh

Wanted to say thanks, today I bought some plain fat free and used it on my baked potato. Yum! I'm for sure going to find some uses for the rest of that container!

Bump! I got some on the weekend and I've been wondering what to put in it.
