    If you mix it with some very finely chopped mint leaves and lime juice, it makes a yummy side for Indian-style dishes :smile:

    this is great served with zuchinni fritters or any type of vege patty

    I like it on baked potatoes or with curry.
    I also like to mix a tbs of raw oatmeal and honey with Greek yogurt.

    You can also use fat free sour cream. its only 15 calories for 2 tbsp.

    It can replace mayonnaise or sour cream in any recipe you want.

    Ooh, that does sound good! I'm on a bit of a zucchini kick at the moment. I also love it with the curried pork rissoles that I make.

    I like it for breakfast, over fruit (frozen or fresh), with a little cinnamon, honey, and walnuts. of course occasionally I'll just add protein powder and eat it like chocolate pudding....
    I made the 70 calorie frozen cheesecake cupcakes, very good! (I tried the fridge method, but they don't set up enough, frozen was the hit).
    Made peanut butter and jelly parfaits, which the family liked.
    I'm looking forward to trying the high protein pancakes, just haven't done it yet.
    The recipes I tried were off this site, so you might try searching a little, there have been some good threads on here regarding Greek yogurt uses.

    My family really liked this chicken recipe using Greek yogurt. I found it at DashingDish.com.

    1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breasts or breast tenderloins (about 4 breasts)
    1/2 cup Plain low fat Greek yogurt
    3 tablespoons Grated parmesan cheese
    2 teaspoons Garlic, chopped (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
    1 teaspoon Dried minced onions (or 1/2 teaspoon onion powder)
    1 teaspoon Dried herb seasoning mix
    Pinch Salt and pepper to taste

    I usually pound the chicken to make it more tender....then lay in a pan.
    Mix the yogurt and other ingredients and just coat the chicken.
    Bake it at 375* for about 30-35 minutes and I usually switch to BROIL for a few minutes or until it's browned.

    Pretty quick and easy; then pair with a veggie you like. I've steamed cauliflower and chopped it up and my daughter thinks it's rice.

    Hi all

    I am only on day 3 of my new healthy eating and exercise plan and I keep noticing people mentioning greek yoghurt, which seems to be pretty much a staple of everyone's diet on here

    My request is can you all post some recipes using greek yoghurt? I cook everything from scratch and would love some lunch ideas using this

    Many thanks:happy:

    anything that asks for sour cream I will always substitute with plain greek yogurt.

    I mix it with spices to make dip. Or spreads for sandwiches and wraps.

    I will put 1 tablespoon of dark chocolate chips and either 1/2 a tsp of mint or vanilla extract into 1/2 a cup of it if I get a sweet craving (regular ice cream makes me feel like crap)

    I eat about a kilo of Greek yogurt every 8-10 days. I love FAGE. Others like Chobani. Ditto replacing sour cream with Greek yogurt. i mainly eat it with fresh fruit for breakfast and that can take me easily to lunch time.
    Tzatziki- the greek yogurt sauce made with garlic, shredded cucumber and dill
    Chocolate/PEanut butter and banana:
    1 banana
    2 tbs cocoa powder
    2 tb PB2 (don't add water)

    Create! Invent and have fun!

    I love it with a banana chopped up and stirred in!

    My husband pours some over mueseli and chopped fruit (which he picked up in Germany)

    I use it also to make mushroom stroganoff - fry onions, mushrooms, diced potatoes, red peppers, add some water or stock and simmer, then finally stir in some yoghurt with a spoonful of flour stirred in it, serve over rice or pasta or baked potato, and you can add grated cheese on top! (No idea the calories, I've never cooked it since I've been counting! But obviously you could adapt it to reduce them!)

    Also when we make fajitas we use it instead of soured cream (because it's in the fridge really but it's just as nice)
