Loving Lately: Greek Yogurt

I have a secret love that I thought I'd finally talk about.
Greek Yogurt.
Yep.

I tried it a few years ago and yuck. It tasted so bitter and way too creamy. I don't know if there are just more varieties lately, or if my taste buds have adapted to like it, but I can hardly imagine life without it.

My most recent Greek Yogurt find was Healthy Choice's Greek Frozen Yogurt, found in the frozen food aisle. 

Also, I'm obsessed with anything blueberry, but that's for a different post.
Each cup has a little inspirational note. Cute!

Greek Yogurt is full of protein and super filling.
It can also be used in cooking as a substitute for heavy cream {well, just use the plain flavor for this. Not blueberry. Obviously.}
We also like making tzatziki {really yummy Greek cucumber yogurt dip} and eating it with pita. Yum!

Just be careful and look at the nutrition facts... some varieties aren't low-calorie. My favorite low-cal variety is Dannon Oikos, Fruit on the Bottom (Fat Free)

I'm all about eating healthy food that tastes good and is filling.
Greek yogurt is totally all of those things!
If you haven't tried it, go ahead! If you have tried it but didn't like it, try another variety. You might just like it!

Does anyone else love Greek yogurt? Hate it? Have any great recipes that use it?

So, that's what I'm loving lately :)

  3. I LOVE greek yogurt! You can also use it to replace butter (use 1/2 of the butter and replace with a 1/4 of greek yogurt) but it does taste different lol But i like it!!

  14. Yogurt tastes absolutely great! And with its nutritional benefits, any type of yogurt is sure to stay. Indeed, it has been slowly gaining more popularity and it can now directly compete with ice cream, as it is a healthier choice and it has more variety.
