    I copied the following from another post that I saw. I haven't tried them, but they sound yummy.


    4 ingredient greek yogurt pancakes

    I discovered this recipe on Pinterest and it was delicious!

    Ingredients:
    6 ounces of greek yogurt (I used Chobani non-fat plain)
    1 egg white
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/2 cup of flour

    Directions:
    Mix the yogurt and egg white in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking soda. Combine all ingredients together and cook like you would regular pancakes. I added blackberries to mine :) Delicious! Flip them when they start bubbling on each side.

    Makes about 3 medium pancakes!

    Here is the website I found them on:

    Just in case others are looking for ideas. I add diced cucumbers, green onion and greek seasoning and use it as a codiment for chicken wraps. I also, use it in place of sour cream on taco's where I use romaine lettuce as the tortilla.

    This is how i eat my greek yogurt and i find it very tasty :P

    add broken pecans, add flax & chia seeds (about 1 tea spoon each), add about 2 tea spoons of honey and some blueberries and mix it up.

    By the way my greek yogurt is PLAIN (less sugar in it) so i dont have a choice to mix something with it or else the taste is very average :P

    I add honey to it, as mine is plain as well. The nuts and seeds sound good, but the seeds aren't really up my alley and the nuts are pretty caloric...although i do love me some nuts :wink: I'm just tired of eating it out of the cup.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it! Like I said, open to all suggestions :smile:

    Plain greek yogurt is very versatile. You can use it in the place of milk, cream, sour cream, or cream cheese when cooking. I use it to make a creamy pasta sauce, mashed potatoes, even as a replacement for sour cream on baked potatoes. It doesn't have to be the highlight of the dish, but adds protein and all of the good stuff. :)

    I use my plain Greek yogurt for sweet and savory. Even baking, a replacement for the butter/oil.
    Make a smoothie: frozen fruit, chilled tea/juice/water, greek yogurt, flax/chia/benefibre. I like to add a banana for extra sweetness instead of sugar or honey.
    Fruit and Yogurt: Plain yogurt, fresh fruit, bran for crunch
    Savory: I use it instead of sour cream. So with fajita's, taco's, etc. I even with make veggie dips with it. Just add your favorite spice/dip mix. Or add it into your homemade hummus to make it more creamy, with out the extra oil.

    These are some ideas. I hope it helps :)

    the cinnamon and pumpkin is good. I added a little splenda and I added some crushed graham crackers on top and it was yummy...

    I mix it with Hersheys unsweentened cocoa powder, a little vanilla and some stevia to sweeten. Tastes like chocolate cheesecake. You can also try using it to make a healthy deviled egg instead of using mayo. Yummy :)

    **Never heard of Stevia..never heard of it..I use Splenda..is that bad? **

    Mix some dry ranch dressing mix into a container of plain Greek yogurt and use it as dips or mayo substitutes on sandwiches.

    I'm so sick of eating Greek yogurt....yet I still have about 7 or so left in my fridge that are going to expire by next week...any suggestions on what to do with them? I know I can add them to protein shakes, but do I just blend them with the powder and water in a blender? Any and all suggestions appreciated!

    And for the peeps that say, "just throw them away," or even better, "just eat them,".........nah :tongue: That's why I'm asking :happy:

    If it's plain, suggest using them for a yogurt-based dressing or dip (the nice part about Greek yogurt is that it's thicker than regular yogurt--no liquid to drain off).
    What we do once in a while is feed some yogurt to our Akita. Good for his coat (and he really does like it).

    I know this sounds weird, but I add a tablespoon of organic strawberry jam to plain greek yogurt. The kinds that are flavored have stuff you mix in that looks like jam, so I gave it a try. I eat it every day now.

    I add a little bit of honey, peanut butter, and cinnamon and then dip apple slices in it...so yummy!! I also use it in chicken salad in place of mayo and as an alternative to sour cream.
