From Cynthia - Greek Yogurt

May 18, 2009

anewbecboo I use the 2% Trader Joe's generic one, and I have 3 faves that I always tell people about, I always use 1/3 of a box of sf jello pudding powder and enough Torani syrup to make it the right consistancy and then whatever other additions I am using, here they are... Lemon ~ sf lemon pudding powder mix (about 1/3 small box), a splash of sf lemon Torani syrup (I only had lemon Torani once special ordered, so other flavors that match, like white choc or vanilla can be used), and a lemon Splenda stick and sometimes a splash of sf coconut Torani syrup PB/Choc ~ sf choc. pudding powder mix (about 1/3 small box), about a Tbls. of peanut butter, a splash of sf Pbutter Torani syrup (white choc. or toffee Torani works). If you aren't into the choc. you can still make this using cheesecake or white choc. pudding powder mix instead and it is PButter Heaven!!! "green stuff" ~ sf pistachio pudding powder mix (about 1/3 small box), crushed pineapple, and a splash of sf coconut Torani syrup sometimes I will add some of my Kashi Go Lean cereal for crunch!   PB HEAVEN is usually my yogurt of choice lately, it is YUMMO


Melissa N. I LOVE Greek Yogurt.  I only do the plain or vanillia.  Plain First and if I can not find it then vanillia.  The honey, IMHO has to much sugar. Plain- 1 packet of flavored splenda (found in coffee aisle)
I either put Kasi GoLean Cereal or Bare nakkid Gronola in it.

Solise You can add fruit and blend it up. I also use it to moisten egg and tuna salads, i use it to make a sauce for fish and chicken if I think its gonna be too dry going down. I season it up and add some dill. that stuff is amazing. the uses are endless.

sweetluvableangel You can use it in anything you would normally put sour cream in. You can also flavor it up with the SF syrups or fruits of your choice.


Colene I like the plain Greek yogurt for mixing in fruit salad or like sour cream.....the honey flavored I LOVE all by its self...just like regular yogurt.  The plain yogurt is bland...somewhat like sour cream. 
 
Greek Yogurt Dessert with Hazelnut Agave and Shaved Dark Chocolate
(Makes 2 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
10 oz. plain Greek yogurt, lowfat or fat free (I use Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt, which is fat free but tastes amazing)
2 T Hazelnut Flavored Agave Nectar (or use regular amber agave)
4 tsp. shaved dark chocolate (look for dark chocolate with the lowest amount of sugar you can find) Use a cheese grater or microplane grater to shave 4 tsp. dark chocolate into a small bowl. (I actually liked the result using the large side of a regular cheese grater best.) Divide Greek yogurt into two bowls. Drizzle 1 T Hazelnut Flavored Agave Nectar over each bowl of yogurt. Sprinkle 2 tsp. shaved dark chocolate over the top and serve.
