    Use it to make chicken/salmon/tuna/ surimi salad instead of mayo. Makes fabulous low cal dips just sub it for sour cream. Use it with egg beaters to make yummy quiche without half and half.

    There is the classic James Bond breakfast. Yogurt, stewed prunes and a pot of coffee, black. Makes perfect sense after all the caviar, foie gras and steak he consumed. A constipated spy would be a dead spy:)

    In for the recipes. I haven't eaten much Greek yogurt before now, but my diet is lacking protein.

    Like others have mentioned... we love it with a ranch packet stirred in to make a dip for veggies, fresh seasonal fruits, in place of sour cream and mayo.....but, I also really enjoy it with about 1/4 of a packet of Jello Sugar Free Fat Free Cheesecake flavored pudding, delicious :-).

    Herbalife has a peach mango beverage mix that I like to add into plain Greek yogurt. It greatly improved the taste and addS 15 more grams of protein! :-)

    I always throw 1 package of stevia in mine with a handful of frozen fruit. My breakfast this morning at work has 1/4 cup of frozen mixed berries :)

    Honey! Don't use splenda. Splenda has no calories, but instead it has lots of chemicals for your body to try to break down which will in turn stop you from burning fat.
    Honey may have sugar and calories, but it's 100% natural so your body knows how to deal with it (+ its full of health benefits + its delicious)!!

    Hmm.. I've used splenda for years and it hasn't stopped me from losing fat. I do agree that it has lot of chemicals but it doesn't stop you from burning fat.

    A teaspoon of splenda does it for me.

    Lemon curd! It's so friggin good. I get a jar from Trader Joe's but you can find it at most grocery stores. I'm tempted to try lime curd the next time I see it.

    I've thought about trying PB or PB2, but I haven't yet.

    Buy Koolaid orange liquid sweetener with no calories--it is DELICIOUS! There are many of these little sueeze flavored sweeteners made by various companies from sucralose and equal. In Walmart they can be found at the opposite end of the potato chip aisle.

    I know to use it instead of sour cream and I like it topped with granola, but how eles do you use it?

    I love Siggi's ... Its real yogurt which CONTAINS live and active cultures. I add a few raisins and a little bit of chopped fruit and 2 or 3 slices of banana... Satisfies that sweet craving without all the extra sugar that studies are showing are so dangerous

    I like Greek yogurt with a bit of stevia extract and a flavor from cocoa, vanilla, a bit of marmalade or fruit jam ( skip sweetener) or instant expresso.
    Also great in a smoothie with blueberries, mango, strawberries or banana. Or, take that purée and put it in Popsicle makers for a wonderful ice cream-like treat. You can also run it through an ice cream machine if you prefer actual ice cream. Vanilla yogurt "ice cream" with nuts, fruit and chocolate chips, yummy!
