Recipes that use plain Greek yogurt?

Pancakes! 6 ounces of greek yogurt, 1 egg white, 1 tsp baking soda , 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour! Add your favorite flavors and fruits accordingly, and cook like normal pancakes. :drinker:


edit: I also mix sugar-free jello in mine for breakfast to switch up the flavors, or I'll add 1 1/2 tsp. of a seasoning packet (ranch, chili, taco, salsa, etc) to make a veggie dip! Also works well with adding laughing cow cream cheese spread and a little powder sugar for fruit dip!

I use Greek yogurt for everything! I put it in smoothies, or anything that I would normally use mayo - like tuna or chicken salad. I even put it on sandwiches. Just experiment.

Lately I've had 1 cup quick oats, 1/2 cup plain fat free greek yogurt, a dash of cinnamon, and 1/2 cup applesauce. Put it in the fridge overnight and eat it the next morning. There are a billion combinations of this, but this one I've eaten the last few days. I eat blueberry or strawberry on the bottom greek yogurts for snacks and plain greek yogurt in smoothies.

There are plenty of uses for it!! Like people have said replace mayo or sour cream with it. I use it in smoothies and as a salad dressing. For the dressing: 1/4 cup Greek yoghurt, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 clove garlic crushed, dash tabasco sauce and whisk all together. Really yum with a salad of: baby cos lettuce, weight watchers rindless bacon ( little bit) Parmesan cheese, grilled chicken. Or sometimes I leave out the chicken and have it with a poached egg.

Made deviled eggs the other day, forgot to buy mayo so used greek yogurt instead...tasted even BETTER than before! I also use it in place of sour cream or plain yogurt when I bake.

I really like:

1 cup of greek yogurt
Cinnamon to taste
vanilla extract
unroasted almonds

Great question... and great answers!!! Thanks for posting

Edited to add: I like to add 3 ounces Greek vanilla yogurt to a few Tbs. of light Cool Whip and mix it into a heap of fresh fruit. Makes a nice treat!!!

I use it in place of sour cream in a lot of recipes and as a topper (tacos, potatoes, soup, etc). Even the other half admits it tastes nearly the same as using sour cream. I don't do it for any nutritional reason; I use it because I always have it on hand.

Gonna watch this board for replies because I just bought a large jug of it and found out I hate it! I'm hoping there are sneaky ways to use it and I won't be able to taste it (as much).

Do you hate it because it is unflavored and unsweetened?? If so, just mix 1 tablespoon of sugar-free jam into 1/2 cup of the 0% plain greek yogurt (I use Polaner SF Blackberry Jam with Fiber) , and add some Fiber One original Cereal (dry) on top for crunchy. The jam only adds 10 calories, and gives you that sweetness that you're used to from "regular" yogurt.
After adding the jam for awhile, I'm finally starting to like the plain unsweetened yogurt, but I just couldn't do it plain at first.

I also use it to make deviled eggs (along with some grainy mustard and green onion) and they are great.

I've also used it before to make blueberry muffins (yogurt instead of eggs/oil) and they turned out great... but I don't make muffins any more because I can't eat just one.. :brokenheart:

Bump! sounds yummy!

I just googled "Low Calorie Greek Yogurt Recipes" and found this, complete with purty pictures:

If I had an ice cream maker, I'd be making that Strawberry Frozen Yogurt right NOW!

Use it to make ranch dressing with the seating packets, replacing mayo with this. I also use it o replace the mayo in potato salad.

Bump for later. I have a huge container of it in my fridge that needs to be used up!
