I know you can make smoothies with this stuff, but what else do you do with nonfat plain yogurt?

    -use it as a substitue for sour cream.
    -make homeade frozen yogurt (add frozen berries, honey and yogurt in a food processor)
    -Eat it on its own or add fresh berries/fruit

    Personally I use nonfat Vanilla. Gives it a better taste. I use it as a substitute in baking (for eggs) and use it in my apple salad....

    apples, grapes, 1c vanilla non-fat yogurt, a tiny bit of coconut, a tiny bit of pecans (or whatever kind of nut you like), throw in a few marshmallows.... yummy! :)

    I add Bare Naked Granola to mine, they have different kinds but I get the fruit and nut. Then you can add berries, strawberries, etc.. It's so good. Almost like a parfait. :drinker:

    I like Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt. The cup is only 90 calories. I put it on a Kashi whole grain waffle and top with fruit for a really filling breakfast. If you want to sweeten it naturally you could sprinke Truvia or another stevia sweetener on it.

    Tsatziki sauce :love:

    Just add grated cucumbers and garlic and eat with pita bread. If you're not having carbs you can put it on grilled meat/chicken. Depending on the kind of yogurt you got you might want to drain it through cheesecloth for a few hours to thicken it up.

    I use Oikos or Fage 0% Greek Yogurt. Sometimes I just sprinkle some sweetener of my choice in it and eat it plain, sometimes I add berries, nuts, etc. Greek yogurt is PACKED full of protein, so it makes a great snack before your workout.

    I mix mine with my plain oatmeal to give it some taste.
    I also use it as a substitute for eggs in recipes, especially cakes and quick breads.

    What is the amount you should use to substitute it for eggs? That is an excellent idea!

    I mix it with bulk granola in the mornings for breakfast. It's also good with some apple butter stirred in.

    I also occasionally use it when I make curries (mix 1 part yogurt with 1 part whole wheat flour for a rue-like substance to thicken them up).
