I love yoghurt
always have
i'm about 2 weeks out and here is what i am doing
because i am SO F-ING OVER protein shakes
i'm taking plain greek yogurt (NONFAT)

that way I get double doses of protein and I flavor the yoghurt in the process

It tastes closer to cream cheese or sour cream than regular yogurt and is much thicker than either yogurt or sour cream.
My dietitian only allows the 0 fat version - check the labels. The 0 fat kind comes in a few fruit flavours in single servings and a choice of strawberry, blueberry or vanilla in 500 ml tubs as well as plain.
I like to add herbs to the plain version - tastes like a baked potato without the potato. I have a lot of different herb blends in my spice drawer and love to experiment. I also like it with sweetener and a bit of instant coffee mixed in. A bit off cocoa as well would give you a nice mocha - and there are all those sugar free syrups to explore! Yum.

You can mix just about anything you can think of into it from savory to sweet. I would avoid the flavored greek yogurts with the fruit because they're absolutely packed with sugar but I mix in smuckers no sugar added preserves sometimes and I freeze cubes of greek yogurt in ice cube trays and drop two into my blender with my protein shakes for an extra boost (thanks to bariatricfoodie.com for that great idea).
I also substitute greek yogurt for any recipe that calls for sour cream. It's better for you and you still have the tart flavor. When I was on mushies, I used it in my refried beans instead of sour cream and in my chili instead of sour cream. I make dips for my chicken using various seasonings (try italian or ranch dressing powdered mixes) and I get these steak strips and mix a little steak sauce with greek yogurt for dipping (I have a hard time with meat if it's too dry).
It's really versatile.
