Greek Yogurt

3/4 cup 0% mf greek yogurt
1.5 cups Welches berry cherry blend (frozen)
Pop it in the blender and add just a little cold water as you're blending...stiffens up just like ice cream. Mmm...frozen yogurt for breakfast (or dessert...or a late night snack when Hubby's having his giant bowl of ice cream. If you add a banana and a touch more water it makes a great shake too.

Adding honey and/or berries does wonders for it. And I agree….it's a lousy substitute for mayo… but it's a perfect substitute for sour cream.

I use the toasted coconut Greek by dannon . Frozen berries half a banana and I cup almond milk for a great smoothie. It's about 200 calories for just under 2 cups

Let's keep this thread going! I use 6 to 8 oz. of non-fat Greek yogurt with 2.5 to 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa and some stevia to sweeten. Mix it together until blended then add fresh berries (any kind you like). Delish!

I usually get flavored / blended yogurts. Try different brands too - for instance, I really really HATE the taste of Chobani Vanilla but like the Walmart brand of vanilla. LOL. I like other flavors of Chobani, just not the vanilla one.

The only vanilla greek yogurt I like is the Walmart brand! Odd!

I LOVE Dannon Oiokos (sp?) Cafe Latte flavor! Yummo!!!!

I top my yogurt with crumbled up Whole Grain Total - helps me get my iron and other nutrients - I use it in place of granola. It makes a nice topping when you crumble it up.

Since there's no strict standard for what gets labeled Greek strained yogurt in the US, I recommend trying several different varieties to see if you like one version better than others. I like Fage but won't eat Dannon or Yoplait; I know others are the opposite! So if you want to like strained yogurt keep searching; it might still be out there for you.

Beyond fruit + yogurt, fruit yogurt smoothies, and yogurt folded into oatmeal, I tend to use it as a cream replacement in too rich foods all the time. (I kind of like the complexity it adds to the flavor). You are right that it'll be more noticeable in cold savory recipes, but you might have more luck in cooked items like quick breads/pancakes, creamy soups, sauces and gratins.

Heavily spiced cold accompaniments like salsa with yogurt, tzakziki, or zataar yogurt for dressing vegetables may be options. I think some people freeze their yogurt to various levels of firmness for either yogurt bars and popsicles or custardy chocolate, yogurt mousse.

Good luck!

I do 1/2 cup non fat Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk and 2 tbsp chia seeds. Leave it overnight and then in the morning add whatever fruit you like. So freaking yummy

I eat the fage or trader joe's 0% plain. I mix unsweetened cocoa powder with it, and I've kind of gotten used to it without a sweetener, though I do dip two little almond cookies in it.

I also mix 25 grams with 20 grams of cholula chipotle sauce to make a little spicy/creamy sauce for my meat and veg. I used it for a dressing today with a shrimp, black bean, spinach, tomato and mushroom salad.

Also, mix with apple or pumpkin butter. Or PB2/peanut butter.

I've only been eating this stuff for a week and I'm already obsessed.

Raw oats? Hmm.

I add fresh fruit, sliced almonds and drizzle some honey on top. Delicious.
