Greek yogurt is one of my favorite foods for several reasons. Greek yogurt is high in protein compared to other yogurts and can be used in so many ways. I use it as a substitute to mayonnaise in my cooking, and as a substitute/addition in my baking, and in my smoothies. It also makes a delicious snack or the perfect base for a creative dessert.
Personally, I always use nonfat Greek yogurt. I also always buy mine plain because it allows for creative mixtures that aren’t high in sugar. I do like flavored Greek yogurts, but have you ever noticed that most are 19-24grams of sugar per serving?
My husband got me into eating my Greek yogurt mixed with a tablespoon of peanut butter! Absolutely delicious and perfect as a between meal snack. Sometimes, I like to make a smaller serving of his concoction and use it as a dip for my apple. As dessert, we also love an idea we got from Pinterest called “cookie dough Greek yogurt”. It’s really delicious! We’ve gotten creative with the add-ins and make it a perfect summer treat by putting it in the freezer for about 30-45 mins before indulging in our guilt free dessert!
Greek yogurt, a tablespoon of peanut butter, some vanilla extract, sweetener to taste, and some chocolate chips.
