-beat about 1 Tbsp per egg into my scrambled eggs. Adds a little more protein and makes them really light and fluffy.
-mix it 50/50 with peanut butter as a sweet potato topping.
-drizzle with honey or maple syrup, fruit and nuts, +/- flax or granola0 -
I love it on it's own, haha. But sometimes I mix in berries or add it to a smoothie, or have it with my special k as a substitute for milk c:0

I prefer 2%, but my recipes could work just as well with nonfat.
Base: 1 cup yogurt + 2 tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut* + 1.5tbsp flax meal (mix)
Top the base with:
Fresh peaches
Honey roasted peanut butter + chopped green apples (+ cinnamon optional)
Fresh figs + drizzle raw honey (or stew figs with honey and a bit of balsamic)
Fresh strawberries and some dried lavender
Fresh pears + ground cardamom ( & toasted hazelnuts optional)
Smoothie with base + 1/2 cup passionfruit pulp* + 1tsp fresh ginger + 1/2 cup mango
* I highly recommend the frozen Goya brand fruits ( often in the "latin/ hispanic" section of a store); cheap, no added sugar, and great quality0 -
Add a serving worth of brownie, cookie or cake dry mix. Trust me, it's amazingly good!0

The brand I buy is a naturally sweet breakfast style greek yoghurt with vanilla bean added. It's really nice on its own but I add 30gm dry oats, berries (frozen or fresh) and a teaspoon of honey. Yum!0

I... just eat it plain. That might be gross to a lot of people, but it tastes good to me.
Suits me that way, too. I find fromage blanc, 0% sugar and 0% fat equally good, and half the price0 -
Hi Red
You could try draining it some more. I use a cloth or a coffee filter paper in a strainer over a bowl. Pour in plain yoghurt, fold the cloth over, put a saucer on top and a heavy can on that. Put in the fridge and the next morning you should have a lovely thick cream without the sour yellow liquid that yoghurt makes. You can use any plain yoghurt for this.
For a party turn it straight out onto a platter, circle it with mango chutney or drizzle on sweet chilli sauce and serve with vege crudites, plain corn chips or flat bread triangles crisped in the oven.
There are plenty of suggestions for flavourings from other posters but I like a pinch of salt and ground cumin or coriander.
Oh! one other thing. I have tried lots of Greek yoghurts - every brand is different. Some I like, some are disgusting. So if you are not enjoying the one you use, why not experiment with others.0 -

I do the same for natural yoghurt. You get used to it, I suppose.0 -
In my smoothies, or with honey and cinnamon.0

In smoothies. FAGE greek yogurt is the best. I use the 0% and add walnuts and 1 Splenda for a tasty treat; or i add Bear Naked granola and have it fir breakfast0
