    A cup of Greek yogurt, a quarter cup of chopped almonds and cashews, drizzle some honey over it and chop some fresh fruit on top. Breakfast of champions.

    Or use it as a substitute for cream in other recipes.

    Or blend with your favorite protein powder, freeze it. Bam, frozen protein yogurt.

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

    2 parts Greek yogurt, 1 part Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and black pepper to taste. Mix well and spread on boneless skinless chicken breast. Bake at temps and times for regular boneless skinless chicken. The coating keeps the chicken moist and is tasty.

    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.

    Me too! Mix it with spices and jalapenos and put it on fish tacos!!!

    Indian cuisine utilize yoghurt as 'curd' (plain yoghurt), cottage yoghurt cheese which can be flavoured with spices, raita (a side-dish of yoghurt mixed with grated carrot or cucumber and spices) or as a base to curries. I won't give you recipes as they take a long time to transcribe.
    Greek cuisine also utilise yoghurt in a similar way. Tzatziki (yoghurt and cucumber dip), and as a base for a marinade for barbequed lamb.
    Recently I have been mixing my high-protein muesli with a zero-fat yoghurt as part of my breakfast.
    Enjoy your cooking adventures!
    kind regards,

    Ben
