Suggestions of how to use nonfat plain yogurt

I pretty much just mix it with some cottage cheese, protein powder, and splenda and I'm good to go.

Honestly, I use nonfat plain Greek yogurt in anything that calls for mayonnaise or sour cream, and watered down a little in anything that calls for regular cream. And yes, sometimes I just eat it by itself, or with a little lemon juice.

Yup. I use it this way too. It’s probably one of the food items i use the most. Here’s some common uses:
- yogurt parfait, if you aren’t used to the flavour add fruit, honey or, maple syrup, and whatever toppings you’d want for a yogurt parfait (I like some shredded coconut too)
- Use it in smoothies and over night oats
- Crema (mix lime juice and spices of your choice), - “sour cream” topping for taco salad, perogies, mix with tuna or hard boiled eggs for sandwich’s
- 1/2 c plain yogurt, 1/4 c peanut butter, 1/4 c honey and you have a great fruit dip

Old school Weight Watchers recipe. Mix up a packet of sugar-free jello using 1 cup water. Then chill until it has an egg white texture. Whip jello into plain yogurt and chill. It has a nice fluffy layer: https://simple-nourished-living.com/2-ingredient-creamy-jello-yogurt-fluff/

Yogurt can be frozen too. Like sour cream the texture might not be great, but it's still a good add-in for baked goods or smoothies.

Ohhhh how could I forget mixing in just the sugar free fat free jello powder or sugar free fat free pudding mix?

Just a variation on some of the other themes, but another way I like it is mixed with PB2 chocolate peanut butter powder, and frozen berries, for a tasty frozen dessert-esque food that's still nutrient dense and quite low calorie.

I buy 3 pound tubs of the stuff routinely just for me, and use it in most of the ways listed above. (The majority goes into my daily oatmeal.)

When I make baked macaroni pie, I tend to use plain, sugar-free, lactose-free Greek yogurt, or skyr instead of milk. I find it's creamier even though I only buy 0% so it's likely all in my head.

Otherwise, I generally eat it like... yogurt. Yesterday's concoction was skyr topped with Smart Bran cereal, sliced peaches, and some organic ginger juice.

Well, if the trash bag isn't heavy enough, the yogurt could be used to weight it down a little bit.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

In an era where we should all be concerned with reducing food waste it makes me sad to see this.

Pretty sure he was making a funny.

I use it for making ranch dressing as a partial replacement for mayo and sour cream. I water it down and use it like buttermilk for marinating chicken or fish before breading and baking because in the UK yoghurt is easier to find than buttermilk. Tzaziki.
