have just discovered how lush this stuff is, was struggling to find a low fat/sugar dessert but the hunt is over. Sliced a banana over and drizzled a little map,e syrup and I was in heaven. Have just bought some granola to add for tonight's treat.
What do others put with theirs if they have it

Generally fruit and/or granola.

Otherwise, a bit of PB2 and some chocolate chips

With mixed frozen berries. I take this in a glass container to the gym. It stays cold, so I can keep it in my bag to eat after I workout in the morning.

I buy the Costco brand, which is essentially the same thing. I mix it with a scoop of protein and whatever fresh fruit is on hand...bananas, blueberries, strawberries, etc.

My go-to nighttime snack.

I started buying the costco brand individual 6oz cups that come with blueberry, strawberry, and cherry. Not bad at all. Definitely reminds me of the fage cups which I was buying prior.

I first started eating the Fage 0% 200g cups, then transitioned to 2%. Now I like the whole milk Fage the best (a bit less tart, creamier), but I can't find it everywhere, so I tend to eat the 2% and whole milk depending on what's available.

As far as mix ins go I like honey, strawberries, mango, blueberries, and blackberries. You can also add in protein powder if you need a small meal with a big protein punch. I don't tend to put nuts or granola on mine because it doesn't usually fit in my day, but they're also great options.

Fage 0% is so good for snacking -- I mix in unsweetened cocoa and a flavor (coconut or orange extract, or coffee extract) with berries and a sweetener. Also great with fresh lemon or lime juice, sweetened with your favorite sugar substitute and dark chocolate.

I add a chopped up banana, vanilla protein powder, original fiber one cereal and chopped walnuts for a yummy mock banana cream pie dessert.

I like savory so I eat mine with oatmeal/cajun seasonings/pan fried portabello mushrooms. Or you can make sweet oatmeal with it and add slightly frozen fruit.

Graham crackers on the bottom, yogurt in the middle, sliced, very lightly pan fried bananas on top, tastes like a banana pie. You can add some cinnamon to the bananas when they are frying.

Fage is so much better than Chobani but costs more, which makes me sad

Thawed out frozen mixed berries. Two tablespoons of granola. I only like Fage. Less sour than any other brand.

Go on Pinterest. Look up cookie dough Greek yogurt recipe. Save 350 cals in your day for it. Thank me later.

I tried eating it plain for the protein for a while. Blech! I switched to full fat cottage cheese. But I don't like honey or other sweeteners.

I threw frozen peaches (that were a bit thawed) in my ninja with a cup of 0%. It was pretty good. Probably would have been even better with a drop of honey!

Greek yogurt is my best friend (I'm guilty of having about 300g each day).

I really like adding peanut butter to plain Greek yogurt, a few grams of chocolate syrup, or pumpkin pie filling. I've also had success with using Greek yogurt as a binder for foods like pancakes and waffles or to up the protein in oatmeal. Next, I really want to try mixing it with some fatty salad dressing (probably ranch or Caesar) and using it as a thicker skillet sauce for chicken.

Honey and walnuts or strawberries and maple syrup are my favourite combinations
Also works great with a bit of salt and mint, to eat with grilled meat, chicken etc

I've never thought to use it as savoury, I'll have to try that. Thanks.
