I was wondering - what recipes and suggestions do people have for greek yogurt? I know there are lots of options, and figured other people likely have many more ideas than I do. Personally, I'm not a big fan of greek yogurt by itself, but I like the protein and the idea of transforming it into substitutes for other sweet snacks. The Yasso frozen greek yogurt bars (sea salt caramel is the best) have been a lifesaver during dessert cravings, and I've been pondering ways to make my own options.

To get it started, I know two options...
1) french vanilla greek yogurt, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, stevia/splenda (or sugar), a few drops of vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree; eat like that, as a dip, or freeze between cinnamon graham crackers for a frozen treat.
2) plain or vanilla greek yogurt, cocoa powder, stevia, and mini chocolate chips.

Any other low cal ideas for transforming or manipulating greek yogurt?

    I use plain greek yogurt in place of sour cream. I also like it with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey. Oh and I love to mix it with PB2 and dip apples into it.

    I love greek yoghurt. Here are some things I add to it:

    Nuts
    Fruit
    Jam
    Seeds
    Marshmallows
    Meringue
    Syrups
    Honey
    Whey Powder
    Chocolate chips
    Jelly

    Use it for savoury things to make creamy pasta sauces...e.g. stir it into some mushrooms and fried chicken with a bit of salt and pepper.

    Use it as cream/icecream/custard replacements for puddings.

    The PB2 is a great idea. I bought some a few weeks ago, but haven't figured out a good way to use it yet. Sounds perfect!
