I just substituted Greek yogurt for sour cream and it's was absolutely genius!

GET THIS...2 tbs of sour cream is 6 grams of FAT per serving and the Greek yogurt was ZERO grams of fat at 4 oz per serving...best decision ever, try it you might like it too! and 60 cals per serving for Greek yogurt vs 70 cals per serving of sour cream!

    Yep LOVE Fage 0% greek yogurt for all kinds of stuff.

    If you have a Costco card, you can get the plain fage in a big tub for about $6...double the size in a regular store. Great price!! They also have chobani flavored ones too.

    People have been subbing yogurt (not just greek style) for sour cream and other things since the 80's when the low fat scare hit the world- ever hear of Graham Kerr aka The Galloping Gourmet or Jeff Smith aka the Frugal Gourmet? Strain yogurt in cheese cloth for a day or two in your fridge and use it instead of cream cheese. You can even make it at home with no special equipment.

    Non-fat Greek Gods is 10 calories per ounce. I use it for the same thing. I usually stir in a little garlic powder and eat it straight or use it as a dip. So yummy. So calorie-friendly!

    I love the plain no fat Chobani. Use it like sour cream, put spices in it for a veggie dip, put fruit or sweetener in it. It's a pretty versatile thing.

    I use it in place of mayonnaise too. It's a wonderful thing.

    I use plain yogurt to replace all the creams, mayo, dressings, that i used to use. I made an amazing chicken creamy basil garlic noodle dish and it was almost zero fat low calories and very tasty everyone loved it. i just replaced the cream sauce with plain yogurt and 1% milk.

    Oh i made those diet cupcakes last week and i put yogurt on top with light jam and i saved over 70 calories just on the icing topping.
