Little trick for eating greek yogurt

Danon light n fit greek yogurts have a very reasonable amount of sugar (7g in vanilla) with a variety of amazing flavors - probably less sugar than you're getting from PB or honey. Just a thought!

Hi! Once you get used to it, you'll learn to love it! Try mixing it with some onion soup mix during special events to dip your veggies in! You will never know the difference! Also, try mixing in a few tablespoons of slivered almonds and some cinnamon. Also yummy!

I didn't read all the responses so, sorry if this is redundant...

Puréed fruit snack pouches intended for kids...squeeze about an ounce of it into Greek yogurt and it's awesome. Many brands contain only puréed fruit, with maybe some fruit juice concentrates. A little bit goes a long way for very few calories. And so many favors! It makes a yummy, sweet fruit yogurt...but without the syrupy "fruit on the bottom" they are typically made with.

I'm not someone who thinks eating baby food is an appropriate way to feed oneself, lol, I know these are typically made for toddlers and small children, so that's where you may find them in a supermarket, but really....it's just very convenient puréed fruit.

Greek yoghurt with a dash of honey is my current FAVOURITE desert. Nothing beats it.

I agree! Throw a few blueberries or strawberries on there and I am in HEAVEN. I also blend those up together and freeze them. Delicious frozen yogurt!

Ohh... strawberries! Should have thought of that before. As for freezing: Does the yogurt not form ice crystals?

Niiice... BUMP!

I usually put mine into recipes.. Right now I'm munching a chicken salad:

5-6oz of plain greek yogurt
4oz chicken - I generally boil or bake it, depending on what else I'm eating that week.. and then let it cool down
1/2 of an apple
Spices - I always mix it around differently, right now I've got 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1 tsp of oregano bc i'm addicted to it atm
I also added 2 strips of bacon because I'm a jerk who loves bacon

Mix all that up & you're done
It makes two or three servings depending on how much you eat - I've slammed the whole thing at once before though lol

For the entire recipe, this worked out to 310 calories, 22g carbs, 29g of protein, and 13g of fat (without bacon it would've been 4g of fat and 18g protein)

I just put a little strawberry jam in mine.

It's just pureed fruit. Expensive but still just fruit. Like you said it's not like your diet consists 100% of the stuff. If you want to go cheaper (and tastier) make it a DIY project and stream some fruits and puree them yourself and freeze the puree. It's way less expensive.

Just steam (or bake) your fruit (or veg -- pumpkin and sweet potato are yummy with yogurt) until it's soft and mash it with a fork/masher/ricer or food processor/blender and put in ice cube trays (or on a sheet pan by the spoonful) freeze until firm and transfer to zip top bags. You can use fresh, frozen or drained canned fruit. Just don't cook your canned fruit or your bananas and add a little juice that is fortified with Vitamin C to your bananas before freezing.

Yummy ideas in this thread.

Decent tip. Thank you.


However, I like using greek yogurt as a sour cream substitute sometimes.

Will try it..thanks..trying to control sugar intake

I eat Greek yogurt mixed with a packet of Stevia every morning for breakfast.

Eww :sick:

I add just a teaspoon of runny honey in mine and have it with strawberries and raspberries - it's my new favourite thing. It's true to say you do start tasting real sweetness on e you wean yourself off the scrap.

Wow u guys are tough! I just buy the flavored chobani greek yogurt. I look at them as my treat to myself and I dont eat alot of sweets anyways. I didnt read the whole thread but what I did read was great!

Great idea! Thanks..:glasses:
