Hello!

I don't know why I bought a big tub of Chobani Greek yogurt :indifferent: . Now the date shows June 16th and I don't know what to make to use it all up. :laugh: I don't eat it plain :huh: What can I make to use it up in one dish?

Suggestions Please :flowerforyou:

    I use mine (plain, unsweetened) as a fruit dip. The fruit sweetens it.

    It makes a great breakfast. Portion it out into a bowl, I think 1 cup is about 140 calories. Add 2 or 3 packets of splenda or whatever sweetener you like, then add in some fresh fruit (I like berries or melon), then sprinkle on some Kashi Go Lean Crunch or Special K granola for crunch. I eat this for breakfast a lot, and sometimes for lunch if I want something light. It has lots of protein. You can also make sauces and dressings with the yogurt. Go to AllRecipes.Com, you can search recipes by ingredients you have, that will probably give you some ideas.

    You can take a bit of curry powder and a tiny bit of basil, add a few crushed corriander seeds and a tsp of tumeric. Blend mixture well and marinate chicken thighs or breasts (thighs offer up more flavour in this case) for 8 hours or more. Bake mixture or BBQ, it is beautful off the BBQ!

    Chop cucumbers into tiny cubes, add dill, garlic salt, black pepper and any other spice you like. Makes a good dip for vegetables for you and chips for the kids.

    This is exactly what I was going to suggest. The same marinade works with fish too. You could also mix some yogurt with low fat mayonnaise and shredded veggies to make a coleslaw.

    Put it in the blender with some fruit and then freeze it for later. I use mine primarily for smoothies. 1/2 cup yogurt, scoop protein powder, 8 oz OJ, 4 oz water, then shake it all up. Perfect afterwork drink.

    handful of berries, or nuts, or granola if that is your thing...
    add it to a shake
    use it in your cooking instead of cream

    use it as a salad dressing ...
    chop up tomatoes, cucumber, onions, and u can even add lettuce...salt and pepper to taste and yogurt . Tastes really good when the tomato juices are infused with it.

    I love this dip! (Even my husband who protested the entire time I made it loves it! Lol) When I made it, I did leave out the bacon but I am sure it tastes just as good with it on.

    Layered Lima Bean Dip

    throw some chopped up fruit or honey in there and freeze it into little popsicles in a popsicle mold. you'll feel like you're eating ice cream. also, since it's pre-measured, it's easier to control yourself. and it'll last past the expiration date when it's frozen. i'm in houston, so i'm always thinkin about cold treats. i love frozen greek yogurt.
