13 Ways To Eat Plain Greek Yogurt

First things first, I’m of the opinion that Greek Yogurt needs a little bit of sweetener to be edible. So assume that each of these different ways to eat Greek Yogurt has one packet of sweetener mixed in as well.

1. Add fruit to the yogurt and mix it up really well. I have added all kinds of fruits, but the juicier the fruit, the better the yogurt absorbs the flavor. My favorites are: strawberries, frozen blueberries, oranges, raspberries, pineapple, and the list goes on and on.
2. Chop up an apple into pretty small pieces, add apple pie spice to yogurt and mix apples in. (If you don’t have apple pie spice, use a little bit of nutmeg, and cinnamon.
3. Mix in a drink flavoring packet. I love to use crystal lite fruit punch, but there are so many drink flavors that the options are limitless.
4. Mix in a little bit of jello powder. I have used lime and strawberry. I preferred the lime because I LOVE key lime pie and this was a pretty good imitation.
5. Mix 1 TBSP Peanut Butter (Or PB2) and 1 Tsp Vanilla into the yogurt. Top it with a small amount of drizzled honey and as much cinnamon as you want. This is great to dip apples in, but I also love to just eat it. You could probably also use Almond butter, but I’ve never tried.
6. Blend ½ cup of pineapple with the yogurt. Seriously, blend. Then top it with roasted coconut. I have the unsweetened version, but let’s be honest, the sweetened stuff would taste sooo much better.
7. Take 1 TBSP of unsweetened cocoa powder and mix it into the yogurt really well. You seriously need sweetener on this one because cocoa powder is pretty bitter.
8. Mix the yogurt with 1-2 TBSP of sugar free preserves. I love the blackberry and strawberry flavors.
9. Sweeten the yogurt, and then layer it with fruit and granola to make your own yogurt parfait.
10. Sweeten the yogurt and then put it on top of baked apples to add a nice creamy touch without using sugary whipped cream or ice cream.

I guess I now have to eat my words, because the next couple of uses for Greek Yogurt DO NOT need sweetener. These are the more savory uses that I have enjoyed.

1. Mix yogurt with French onion or ranch dip to make a MUCH lower calorie veggie dip.
2. Use Greek Yogurt instead of sour cream on things like baked potatoes, or taco salads, etc. 
3. Mix 1-2 TBSP Greek Yogurt with salad dressing to make it creamier. I mix it with Caesar to make it lower calorie. 

I obviously like sweet stuff more than savory....If anyone has more suggestions on how to use Greek Yogurt, please share!
