What do you use your greek yogurt for?

Floor wax.

My newest snack treat is 5 oz. Chobani greek yogurt (plain) , 2 Tbs PB2, 1 equal packet and mix.133 calories. It's like peanut butter pudding.

Coriander Shrimp
½ cup Shrimp
2 Tablespoons Olive oil
4 Chiles
1 Tablespoon Coriander seeds (crushed)
Salt (to taste)

Sauce:
Fresh coriander (chiffonade or chopped)
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
1 pinch Coriander powder

Mung Bean Salad
½ cup Sprouted Mung Beans
1 Teaspoon lemon juice
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Chili powder (to taste)
1 Tablespoon Cilantro root (chopped)

Procedure:
1. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, fresh coriander, salt and pepper.
2. In a heated skillet, add oil, chiles and coriander seeds. Let the oil infuse and throw in shrimp, salt and pepper. Sautee shrimp until cooked and pull out.
3. In a bowl, toss mung beans, lemon juice, salt, pepper, chili powder and cilantro root. Place on plate as base for the shrimp.
4. Place shrimp over salad and drizzle with sauce.

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.

I actually freeze mine and eat it like ice cream. It works out quite nicely.

Tandoori Marinated Chicken (or turkey) Breast, actually a WW recipe I semi-adapted, actually made this this week. I try to marinated 8-10 hours but in a pinch done it less time.

3/4 cup plain yogurt
1 small onion finely chopped
2 TBLS peeled grated ginger - I leave this out
2 TBLS red wine vinegar
1 TBLS dijon mustard
1 tsp cumin
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper

Chicken or turkey I have done up to about 20 ounces meat total with above, this is exactly as written, broil or grill as desired.

I do vary it a bit from above based on preferences. The cinnamon is key IMO.

There's so much you can do with it! Maybe do a search on here for recipes with Greek Yoghurt. I like to just have mine in a bowl with cut up apples and Stevia to sweeten it a tad :-) Lovely morning snack :-)

I have a lowfat banana bread recipe that just calls for plain yogurt. I use plain non-fat Greek yogurt. Gives it a little tanginess and everyone loves that bread!

I actually use it to make ranch dip and makes a great butter milk. I also added it to a fetticuini I was making the other day. So many uses just have to account that it will add a sour taste to the mix so you will either have to cover it up or reduce any other sour sources like vinegars or citurs.

Great ideas everyone. I'm gonna have to try some of these!

I love it mixed with an equal part of 1% cottage cheese. If you use plain you can add a little sweetener and vanilla. I prefer no fat vanilla greek yogurt.
Or I love it on top of cream of wheat, oatmeal, or cream of rice hot cereal with berries for a hot, satisfying breakfast.

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....

YUM!!!
