Little trick for eating greek yogurt

I have greek yogurt that already has mixed fruit in it and I add honey and black berries,

Honestly, when you reduce the sugar in your diet (including "fake" sugars), you will begin to taste the real sweetness in foods. Adding in fake sugar isn't healthy or a viable long-term solution.

When I cut out sugar I was able to eat Greek yogurt plain and have it taste sweet to me.

This is true.

Another tip for you all. You can use the greek yogurt to make savory items as well, not just sweet. My inspirations come from a blogger named Shelly, but she goes by EggFace. You can find her blog here --> http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/

Anyway, she had gastic bypass and as a product of that needs more protein than the average person. So she uses greek yogurt in recipes extensively. One that I made this week was an Avocado dip. I embellished it a bit, and now it tastes almost exactly like guacamole!

Here is the basic recipe:
1/2 cup Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 avocado
Salt+Pepper to taste

MIx it up in food processor or blender, and voila!

However, to make it more like the real thing I diced a few cherry tomatoes, and added with some lime juice. I also used garlic salt instead of plain salt. This is delish! It tastes close enough to the real thing, that I satisfied by it. The base for all of her dips is the yogurt and cottage cheese above. You can do peanut butter, chocolate, feta, whatever. I make a few of these dips a week!

I eat Greek yogurt almost every day...instead of mayo in a tuna sandwich, in smoothies to up the protein and make them creamier, in tacos instead of sour cream, on a baked potato instead of sour cream.... also plain with vanilla (instead of sugar) vanilla - the real stuff - tastes great and there are 0 calories!

My favorite brand of Greek yogurt is chobani!

Sorry but I do not understand why is there a need to buy yogurt when it can be made at home. No sugar, no salt just plain goodness. You wanna make it heavy use full fat else use skimmed milk.

For flavoring, there are loads of Indian recipes which use yogurt called 'Raita'. Use can use grated Cucumber/Carrot/Raddish or tomato & onion or just plain mint/coriander leaves and a bit if seasoning like black salt , cumin powder, a pinch of sugar. And you are good to go. There are loads of variations to this.

I just looked online how to make homemade Yogurt and it doesn't sound that hard to make. Going to try it.

If I have plain greek yogurt, I stir in some granola or the Fiber One cereal with the crunchy clusters.

Some people really don't enjoy cooking, live somewhere that doesn't have a kitchen or choose to do other things with their time. Almost everyone has to grocery shop, the yogurt is in stock and ready to store. Easy peasy. I hope I cleared that up for you.

I have found that if you put a tablespoon of flax seed meal in it and give it a good stir it takes away that bite.

Greek Gods Honey Greek Yogurt is *amazing* by itself, but I usually add in a handful of muesli or granola mixed with dried fruit.

I usually only use the plain greek yogurt as a sour cream replacement for tacos and potatoes and that. Or in my baking, but let's not talk about that...

it also makes an excellent replacement for sour cream... i use it on my chili and it is delish

I do that too!

Also, .. I mix a scoop of a flavoured protein powder in to make it chocolatey .. (or whatever)

NOT to go with the Chilli ) ... haha

Both brilliant tips!

I mix my Greek yogurt with vanilla whey protein powder and add flaxseed and blueberries :-)

I add honey and cinnamon and it is so delicious

I recommend a tbsp of almond butter and some cinnamon.
