Greek Yogurt - Recipes?

Ewh plain is horrible. but lucky for you ..this recipe can save you! It is Refrigerated Oatmeal...intriguing isnt it! I improvise with what ever fruit I have, and I never add chia seeds. But see if you like it. It has become a staple in our house for breakfast.

I have been wanting to try these receipes!! Which one is your favorite?

The first time I tried Greek yogurt I thought it was terrible as well, but it ended up being the brand that I tried that I didn't care for because a friend shared a bite of another brand of Greek yogurt with me and it was amazing (it was the Fage brand, I think). I now regularly eat the Yoplait Greek yogurt and love it. It almost tastes like a scoop of strawberry cheesecake in a cup!

I'm also looking for ways to use Greek yogurt in cooking, so it's a great topic to bring up.

FAGE is the best! Its fromm Greece and I go to Greece every summer and its my fav! The brands we get in North America sucks, but the closest I can get to better tasting is Skotidakis (Canada)
You can make a Tzatziki dip add Grated cucumbers, drain the water from them, add tons of garlic(use a presser) some salt, and voila...yummy and healthy!

Chobani yogurt is sooo good!

bump : )

I posted a great recipe using plain greek yogurt...look up Mock Cheesecakes...yummy dessert at 200 calories.

You can use it in so many ways, as a sweet or savory dip, in place of mayo, sour cream, milk, etc...I always add something to mine.

Greek yogurt is really versatile. You can make it like the others said with berries, honey, and some granola mixed in. You can also use it as a substitute for mayonaisse in salmon or tuna salads. I like to use it in curries. Just saute eggplant, tomato, and onion with lots of curry powder, cumin, salt, pepper, cinnamon, ginger and when it looks almost done add about a half cup of plain greek yogurt and let simmer. Its delicious.

Good call on the mayo substitution - I don't like mayo but I love tuna sandwiches! I usually use mustard but its just not the same. So thanks for that! And thanks to the original poster - I recently bought greek yogurt too to try something different, but I'm not a big fan of it either. Thanks for the ideas everyone!

Mmm....Greek yogurt is one of my favorite foods on Earth. I prefer the non-fat, plain type because it is the healthiest for me. Fage is my favorite brand. I personally wouldn't buy Yoplait. I just don't like that company, but that is only me. To each their own, of course. That is why we have options!

I put my Fage in my protein shake. I also mix in honey and any fresh fruit or berry. At night when I have those awful cravings I get one cup of Fage non-fat, plain and add some sugar-free vanilla syrup and some powdered vanilla bean and it is the perfect calorie conscious late night snack. Got this idea from mfp.

I also use Greek yogurt to marinate my extra lean ground turkey. It helps to moisten the turkey which can be too dry when cooked.

I take plain greek yogurt (oikos is my favorite) and add in about 1 TBS sugarfree/fat free pudding dry mix (I LOVE the cheesecake) and mix--I also add a packet of truvia to take away some of the tartness and I use this as fruit dip (apples and canteloupe are my favorites). Where else can you get about 100 cal, 16 gm protein --wonderful

I think it's real yummy. So pure and thick. I will put in my smoothies in the morning. Instead of protein powder (on and off, to save money.) Mixed with the berries and lactaid milk (or soy) you can't really taste it.
