Now, what I do with greek yogurt
I have several uses for greek yogurt...
I use it as either a prime source of protein OR as a condiment that offers a low fat high protein alternative.
High Protein Dippity Dip
Veggie dip
1/2 cup of greek yogurt (11.5 g & 65 calories)
1 wedge of laughing cow lite cheese (2g & 35 cal)
comes in lots of flavors like
blue cheese
sun dried tomato basil
swiss
whip both until creamy (helps if wedge is room temp)
Add spices to your liking such as
dried ranch dressing seasoning
any ms. dash flavor
hot sauce
ketchup
the possibilities are endless...
Serve with dippable veggies AND dip liberally!!! I like to polish off the serving of dip...
Fruity Protein Dippity Dip
1/2 cup greek yogurt
sploosh (yes, official phrase....lol) of sugar free torani syrup
vanilla
caramel
toffee
1-2 tspn SF Instant vanilla pudding mix
OR
1 tblspn of PB2 or peanut flour
Blend until smooth. You may have to add more syrup or even a titch of water to dilute if it is too thick...
Add cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance some flavors
Again...dip bananas, apples, berries...yummo!! Dip liberally Or hell, just eat by the spoonful itself...who needs fruit...lol
Shakes
1/2 cup of greek yogurt
1 scoop protein powder
2-4 oz water
1 tblspn of any flavor of SF Instant pudding mix
(optional - add frozen fruit...fresh fruit)
2 ice cubes
Blend in blender (see prior cottage cheese post...) and top with whipped cream and enjoy!!
Other uses....
Use dip recipe above for sammy spreads.
Use plain greek yogurt in place of sour cream for chilis or tacos etc
Ok...that's all I can think of for now. I'll post more if I can remember any...
