I have lately been on a Greek yogurt kick. I have subbed it in recipes that asked for mayo and yesterday I made a skinnier version of alfredo by subbing it in place of cream and adding some broth and pasta water to it to thin it down.

I am always on the lookout for new ways to use it. Or what to mix into it for yumminess! Hit me with your ideas please

    I use Fage 0% non-fat Greek yogurt mixed with a fat tablespoon on sriracha sauce--not as hot as it sounds, but a great dip/sauce for veggies/sandwich spread

    Instead of sour cream in tacos, base for a smoothie, in scrambled eggs--some of my faves!

    Mmmm, wonder if it resembles Japanese spicy sauce which is a mix of Japanese mayo and sriracha. It is one of my favorite sushi sauces.

    add some tandoori spices and lemon juice and marinate chicken breasts,(overnight if possible or at least two hours), then grill on high for a lovely tandoori chicken, or you can cube and skewer the chicken for kebabs. For a sweet treat, slice in some banana and freeze. A nice sweet pudding that takes a bit longer to eat, so seems like more. put a little grated chocolate on top for a treat. I love Greek yogurt too, it's worth the few extra calories I think for the lovely creamy texture and extra protein.

    I also use greek yogurt, usually the chobani 90 cal plain. I sometimes mix buffalo sauce in it for a dip for my cauliflower. Sometimes I also get a ranch dry packet and mix it in the greek yogurt. Much lower in calories than real ranch. Sometimes I add a little unsweetened almond milk in it just to make it a little less thick. I too use it in place of sour cream, my kids don't even mind it in place of sour cream.

    I totally thought about using it for ranch as well! And I am going to try to make my own cucumber sauce tonight because it calls for strained yogurt anyway. Thought I would make gyro salads tomorrow with it.

    The buffalo sauce sounds good too. Might try that as a marinade for some baked chicken!

    I am a buffalo sauce fiend LOL Heck I will steam cauliflower and just dip it in regular old Franks buffalo sauce lol. Another thing I do with buffalo sauce lol is get the flatout wraps, use it as a personal pizza crust spread some buffalo sauce on it, chop up some baked chicken spread it on, chop some artichoke hearts and cover it with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese bake it until its crispy and then spread chopped spinach on it. I love it. One of my big time go to's! Of course I do add a little more buffalo sauce after I take it out lol i told you i love the stuff. Oh and I bake it at 450

    They also have whole wheat tortillas at costco that are a really good size and ony 8 or 90 calories per tortilla I sometimes use those as a crust as well. My kids love tortilla pizzas :) The flatout wraps I get are also 90 calories per wrap.

    I love it too! I just have a serious sodium problem so I have to watch it. I wanted hot wings all the time while I was pregnant! Well... really I just want hot wings all the time anyway. But I still have to go lightly because of the sodium. I have a bit of an addiction to salty foods and I tend to overdo it.
