Greek yogurt concoction that I can actually tolerate

Yep, it's rough to be plain. One time I sprinkled a 1/2 packet of Stevia, then some raisins and grape nuts (didn't have any granola handy). that was pretty good, too.

I've been adding a tbsp or so of organic (Costco) strawberry preserves/spread into my plain greek yogurt... yummmmmmy and only adds another 30-40 calories.

Adding Trader Joe's Pumpkin butter to it and sprinkling with cinnamon makes a delicious fall treat!

I can only tolerate it with honey, some nuts and frozen berries. It's great stuff though! I live in Switzerland now, and I can't find a low-fat variety here.

You guys are better than me....I eat the greek yogurt that already has fruit in it and save the plain as a sour cream replacement :blushing:

I don't buy the flavored varieties because of the sugar content. I prefer to flavor it myself. I haven't used the greek yogurt in a savory application yet but I might try that soon, like make a dip or something.

I use the plain on baked potatoes, tacos...and I have made a really good dip with it too, garlic and herbs, The chobani site has a bunch of recipes.

I've never tried it on baked potatoes but that sounds like it could be good. I usually use cottage cheese on my baked potatoes (and maybe a few drops of hot sauce)

Seriously try it....it really does taste just like sour cream to me, my husband tops them off with bacos...geez he tops everything off with bacos!

I use plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream, I'm actually getting some to make baked potatoes tmw night. As for eating it alone, I don't like it. I would try the flavored kinds, probably better.

Try drizzling the yogurt with a very tad bit of agave syrup. They sell it at costco. and it is easy/quicker to use than honey.

I prefer agave because as you can see below, it is lower on the glycemic index (GI) than other sweeteners:

sugar (95), honey (77), maple syrup (54), agave nectar (26-40)

Agave also has a very neutral flavor, unlike honey and other natural sweeteners

I don't buy the fruit ones because of the sugar, here's what I do to the plain:

add sugar free/ fat free cheesecake flavored pudding powder (I also like white chocolate, butterscotch, and banana cream)

add one packet of sweetener of your choice (splenda, truvia)

Sometimes it needs a little dash of milk to think it out a tiny bit since the pudding powder acts as a thickening agent

I add a few no sugar added frozen mixed berries....and let it sit in the frige for a couple of hours...the berries kind of melt into the cheesecake flavored yogurt and the consistency is kind of cheesecake-y too. Faux berry cheesecake... yum!

mix greek yogurt with fresh salsa and a little cumin and you have a great veggie dip or salad dressing......

I wish I would have thought of this but I saw a post some time back that said to put sugar free fat free instant pudding into plain greek yogurt so I tried it and it is awesome!! The cheesecake flavor is my favorite and adding 25 calories a serving to greek yogurt, it really is a treat...and a great dessert if you add fruit as well...
