    ground flax seed, truvia, and vanilla almond granola from walmart. my favorite!! also, you can make savory spreads and dips with it. and you can make those picnic-y salads with it instead of mayonnaise, like potato salad and stuff. just google greeek yogurt recipes and you'll get a ton!

    Tzatziki sauce, so good on so many things. And really pretty easy to make.

    I use it in my chilli instead of Sour Cream! I use the 2% or Total Fage Greek Yogurt! So good!

    I mix it with cumin, tumeric, chilli powder, paprika and other spices or use a generic tandoori spice mix to marinate chicken in. Great for skewers!

    I have a recipe for making cheesecake from vanilla flavored yogurt. You can't tell the difference in taste and much healthier for you.

    I heard some guy saying you can flavor it with spices and hang it in cheesecloth in the fridge and make your own laughing cow type cheese. I haven't tried it, but it sounds interesting and probably delicious. You could make any flavor of cheese you want!

    I use it place of sour cream or mayo in most recipes. I mix it with fruit and use it in place of cream cheese on a bagel or a waffle.

    I put one cup of it with 2 chilis in adobo sauce in the food processor and make a healthy chipotle "mayo" for fish tacos!

    I use it in place of sour cream, or add a teaspoon of honey & eat it :)

    I make a really good smoothie using plain greek yogurt (Fage or Chobani 0%).

    1 scoop chocolate protein powder (I use EAS)
    2-3 tbsp plain 0% greek yogurt
    1 tsp (or no more than 1 tbsp) of almond or sun butter
    6 frozen banana slices
    5-6 oz of water

    Blend and enjoy!

    - Mix in some Balsamic Vinegar and Crushed Black Pepper and dip in some veggies or even Strawberries.
    - Mix with Horseradish, Lemon Juice, and Pepper for a tasty marinade for chicken
    - Make yourself some cranachan: Throw some steel-cut oats on a baking tray and bake at 300 degrees until brown. Stir Honey and Scotch into the yogurt. Layer the yogurt in a glass with Raspberries and top with the oatmeal.
    - Drizzle Honey and sprinkle some Hazelnuts for a tasty dessert.
    - Use as a replacement for Mayonnaise in most recipes.

    Enjoy.
