What do you use your greek yogurt for?

kcallas88

a very healthy tzatziki

i'll also take some plain greek yogurt and put some honey in it with a little flax seed...yummmmmmmm

put any kinds of fruit in it...hopefully buying a blender so i can blend the fruit and then mix it in (i can't stand plain greek yogurt by itself)

CaffeinatedConfectionist

Some of the above suggestions, plus mix in a tablespoon or two of peanut butter and some honey, and dip a banana or graham crackers or pretzels or what have you in it.

Actually i was just talking to a girl at work about this...she told me that she has made homemade Tzatziki Sauce with it.

1 tube of 0 fat plain Greek yogart
1/2 of a cucumber
Garlic (minced) to taste..

Chop up the cucumber and mix it with the garlic, then add to the yogart...

I'm definitly going to make this...maybe some of you would like to try it also!

I made tzatziki with 0 fat greek yogurt once. Never again! :laugh:

My recipe is

1 24 oz container greek yogurt
1/4 olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 - 1 whole english cucumber grated and strained
minimum 8 cloves of garlic, chopped
salt
pepper


Squeezing the water from the cucumber is key, to avoid making the tzatziki too thin. Also, take care while combining the ingredients to just fold everything together. Too much stirring can also make it watery.

Goes good on pretty much everything. Try it with tuna instead of mayo....

I actually don't like greek yogurt for anything other than a sour cream replacement....too sour tasting for me....but at least I am doing that lol.

I use vanilla Greek yogurt to mix in fruit or cereal for breakfast or snacks or just eat it by itself. I use plain Greek yogurt in place of anything I would normally use sour cream, and I have even heated/baked it in recipes and it does just fine. I add it to whole wheat burritos, in cream sauces, on baked potatoes or just anywhere I would use sour cream. I have used plain, vanilla and other flavors in smoothies as well. Be sure you are actually getting a high protein Greek yogurt. There are a few out there that have the word "Greek" on the packaging but have no more protein than regular yogurt so you're not getting the full benefit. I just love it! It's one of the best healthy things out there in my opinion. Enjoy!

I put into my fruit smoothies or I put walnuts and blueberries and eat that way.
I don't say anything but my husband thinks the dollop of greek yogurt is Sour Cream!!!

One cup or less for a frozen fruit smoothie for breakfast. Half cup of orange juice, a frozen banana (thawed and peeled under a warm faucet) half cup of frozen strawberries, peaches or whatever. You can add a little milk and/or honey, depending on how many calories you can afford.
