    I use it on baked potatoes. Also on curries if they are too hot.
    also i like it better than plain yogurt in a lassi - http://www.whats4eats.com/beverages/lassi-recipe

    Tried it. Hated it. Ran for the hills. I like vanilla, but can't do plain. I spike the vanilla with fruit in the morning.

    I mix in my favorite flavor of sugar-free jello powder!

    I cut up half an apple, chop up two medium celery stalks and mix it with the yogurt. I eat this sometimes for breakfast
    *Also spread on whole grain/wheat toast, top it with some crushed pistachios then drizzle with a little honey. Yummers!

    For tomorrow's breakfast I'm adding some rolled oats, an apple and walnuts to it. Should be good if I have my thoughts and my taste buds working together properly lol

    strawberries, unsweetened cocoa powder, and stevia!! it tastes like chocolate covered strawberries :love:
    i also love cooking an apple in the microwave with stevia and cinnamon and adding that to greek yogurt. it tastes like an apple pie! you could even add some granola or oats on top to make it more apple pie-esque

    I love mine with a little salt and water. Blend it and chug it down like buttermilk.

    I usually eat mine with blueberries and cinnamon. I love Greek yogurt - such an easy way to get some serious protein in your diet!

    I love Chobani Greek yogurt. I usually buy the plain and add fruit, maybe some Splenda, maybe some extract (real ones...vanilla, almond, banana, etc.), light jam, raisins, cinnamon, shredded coconut...endless...
    Some ideas for what to do with Greek yogurt I read recently:
    - Add chopped cucumbers, dill and a pinch of salt for a quick Greek tsatziki.
    - Instead of milk or sweetened yogurts, toss some in your smoothie for a thicker texture.
    - As an alternative to heavy cream when making alfredo sauce for pasta.
    - Mix with chocolate syrup for an easy fruit dip for a party platter.
    - Add a pinch of salt for a rich substitute for sour cream.
    - Stir into pureed vegetable soup to add thickness and protein. (love this one!)
    - Add chopped fruit and sweetener and put in freezer
    - Use instead of mayo in chicken, tuna, and egg salad
    - Frosting for cake; just add vanilla or almond extract and a bit of sweetener (I guess this is for the cake mixes made with soda or pumpkin)
    - Add spices and a bit of milk for a quick, guilt-free creamy salad dressing.
    - As a pre-grill marinade for chicken or lamb: a bit of yogurt, za'atar, lemon zest, pepper flakes and pinch of salt.
    - Add horseradish to make a fish or shrimp dip.
    - Mix with skim milk and use instead of buttermilk for pancakes.

    For the person who mentioned Cabot Greek yogurt...I bought it recently because it was on super sale. I got vanilla. At first taste, I thought it was different than any I'd had before, but I decided I really liked it on the second taste. I always add fresh fruit.

    I stir in a scoop of protein powder, some nuts and chopped fruit for an awesome after-workout snack!! Or I mix it half-and-half with ranch dressing for a yummy veggie dip.

    I actually really love the taste of plain greek yoghurt...although I find the fat free version a bit...erm...tangy(?) so I stick with the full fat one. I usually add some pine kernels, sunflower seeds and dessicated coconut to it...nommy!!
