Greek Yogurt: How do you like it?

laurarpa

I don't buy the flavors because I want to control the sugar content. I use it as a sub for sour cream, and also in smoothies, but I love to eat it with fruit. Fage is my favorite. Usually less than a teaspoon of agave is enough for me. So berries, a drizzle of agave and I like to top it with trader joe's fiber cereal too. In the summer, it is awesome with ripe peaches.

If it's plain I love to add a packet of stevia, some cinnamon and sliced banana or berries.
The flavored ones are awesome, too. I like adding mixed nuts to those

BenderFitness

a packet of stevia and a tablespoon of peanut butter or nutella. Yummmm!
Or stevia and fresh fruit. Sometimes honey. Use it as sour cream.
I pretty much love it!

The only way I like Greek Yogurt is in the garbage can. YUCK!

mkreids

Are you kidding me?! Mixing in the fruit on the bottom and eating it slow is just incredible!

I just bought a big container of it and I'm going to make a big batch of smoothies with a little OJ and lots of frozen fruit and freeze it all in little cups.

Nostimo Greek yogurt with fruit on the bottom is awesome. It is creamy and just delicious.

I love all Greek yogurt, but right now my favorite is Chobani Champions. They're the ones made for kids, small 4 oz portions that come in some yummy flavors.

Love it... but I don't buy the plain. Vanilla, Honey, Fruit on the Bottom... the only brand we can get is Oikos so I'm a little limited, but I like it WAY better than the fat-free gelatin-filled yogurts.

I may just have to get a tub of the plain tomorrow and try some of these dip ideas, though!!!

I do the plain with peanut butter and dip apples or bananas in it for lunch alot. Or the Yoplait honey vanilla is great with the peanut butter or PB2 if you want to save the calories/fat. Yum! I had that for lunch today actually.

I love it but i really dislike super sugary yogurt like yoplait to begin with. I love the honey nonfat greek yogurt (most brands are good that i've tried!). It's weird, i never thought I would like it, but i had a sample once somewhere and it's definitely the best.

Oikos Blueberry with fruit on the bottom.

My personal favorite ...

Fage 0% nonfat Greek Yogurt ... I add the following :

A pinch of fresh ginger
1 tsp natural mountain honey
½ cup fresh blueberries
2 large strawberries
¼ cup of Special K Granola

I call it my " Breakfast for a Champion "

I actually eat this 95% of the time ! I LOVE IT. I do sometimes change from Fage to Chobani .. depends on the sale. LOL.

I use chobani plain and mix a 1/2 a packet of 4c wild berry pomegrante in it (the packets you mix into a water bottle)
Love it! I hear crystal light is good also but haven't tried that yet

I don't like plain yogurt of any kind - it's too sour for me (which is weird cuz I dig lemons). I like Greek yogurt and buy the flavored ones.

With honey and cornflakes!!

I mix plain greek yogurt with 1 scoop chocolate whey protein and a little sugar. Tastes like chocolate pudding. I like it!

Got to try this!!!

crysmcd1

i typically get whatever is on sale, always get plain. prefer fage and chobani. for breakfast i add peak pure protein granola and a tbsp of sugar free jam. yum. in the evening, as a snack i'll add a tsp of sugar free/fat free pudding mix (cheesecake flavor) and then add a few chopped up almonds. perfect snack!

PurplePookie

I mix it in with flavoured yogurt in order to cut the amount of sugar. I also use it as a mayo/sour cream substitute.

danipals

I like Fage mixed with 2T sugar free raspberry preserves. YUM

superstarcassie

I don't like it plain. I like the Chiobani with the fruit in in. Also- not super healthy, but oh so good- the kind with the honey! Its a good treat, super tasty!

JustLindaLou

I recently switched from using Dannon Fat Free Plain yogurt to Oikos Fat Free Plain Green yogurt because it has 2x the protein. I really like it, except the price is 2x as much too! :huh:

I use it on my salads, with some balsamic vinegar and several twists of McCormick Italian Herb Seasoning grinder.
Also mixed with salsa as a dip and in place of sour cream on chili, etc.

For "sweet" I liek it with a spoon of polaner all fruit (no sugar added) and some toasted slivered almonds. I personally like the contrast of sweet and tart, and I love the thickness of it.

DanielleDavids

Oh Greek yogurt... let me count the ways:

1) Smoothies! My go-to breakfast smoothie: 1/2 c. greek yogurt, protein powder, frozen fruit, handful of baby spinach, TBSP peanut butter and half a scoop of protein powder w/ water.

2) Cereal! I'm not a huge cereal fan, but I make my own low-sugar granola that I love to mix into greek yogurt with fresh fruit.

3) Overnight oats!

4) Healthy veggie dip. Any veggie dip you'd make with sour cream, just sub greek yogurt instead! (I actually do this for any recipe that calls for sour cream or mayo)

5) Mix in a scoop of protein chocolate powder to make a pudding-like snack.

6) Use Greek yogurt in protein bread or protein pancakes.

I love it! It's sooooo much better than Yoplait! So far I've tried and loved the Key Lime and Strawberry. The Organic is just nasty. Took one bite and had issues getting it down. *shutters*

Just_Dot

I like Fage 0% Fat...I think the Chobani is too sweet. I love the cherry blend, the strawberry blend and mango blend for the stuff that comes with the fruit. For the 2% I lurve the cherry kind.

I am, however, a cheap a-hole, so I just get the large tub of it at Costco and I'll blend frozen strawberries witht some agave nectar and eat that with the yogurt. I also like fresh fruit with some agave nectar with it.

I also use it as a stand in for sour cream in recipes.

BrendaLee

I tried it for the first time a couple of days ago. I didn't care for it plain, but I added a bit of strawberry jam to it and thought it was quite yummy.

TheMerryPup

Chobani vanilla non-fat with sliced almonds and blueberries. Sometimes I'll add it to my smoothie too.

pandasand

I love Chobani Plain Nonfat. I just eat it plain and I love the taste. I NEVER buy flavored yogurt. If I want it to be flavored then I add a packet of Stevia and some vanilla and top it with berries. I also use it in cooking and baking. Greek yogurt is awesome.

All I buy now is the plain Greek yogurt (Fage 0%) and add in my own flavor. The ones with fruit already packaged is way too sweet for me.

I often mix the yogurt with:

• Sugar-free jello mix (butterscotch, cheesecake, strawberry, lime, etc). They will vary from 5 -25 cals and really nothing else in it except some sodium. Super tasty especially when I have a sweet tooth or am looking for a dessert.

• BP2 peanut butter, sometimes adding hershey's lite syrup

• Protein powder, often Berry or Vanilla. Sometimes chocolate...

• Real fruit like blueberries or strawberries

• Add it to protein shakes to make them more creamy + more protein

• Use it as a substitution for mayonnaise, sour cream and some cheeses in recipes

I lovelovelovelovelove plain Greek yogurt. Might be one of my foods "if I was stranded...."
