For plain Greek yogurt? That stuff is rank by itself!

Warm a 3 oz can of chicken. Then spoon in 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt. Then sprinkle a little reduced sodium taco seasoning over it and mix everything together. Mexican flavor!!!

Yum! That sounds good! I did notice that the yogurt tastes a bit like sour cream but with more of a wang. Thank you!

It does taste like sour cream.

I've also mixed a little sugar free jelly in it and I've tried it with a little Peanut Butter mixed in.

Not great but it did change the taste

I use in place of sour cream and it was the same to me. On top of chilli for example. It also matters what brand. I tried chiobani and HATED it! Was too strong. I use fage now and love it! It has a much milder flavor. So not all Greek yogurts are created equal lol. I use in in place of cream or Mayonnaise sometimes. I made a Soup today that I wanted I make 'creamy' so I stirred in some Greek yogurt at the end. I also make a good home made ranch dressing with Greek yogurt, tiny bit of LF mayo, garlic powder, milk and black pepper. It's way better then any dressing in the bottle I've ever had. It's also great in tuna and chicken salad as mentioned. Experiment and you'll find lots of uses

I have the Chobani kind and when I tasted it, it made me cringe. I will have to look for the Fage brand. I've never heard of it before. Does Wal-Mart carry it?

Frozen Protein Drops

A quick and easy, weight loss surgery friendly frozen Protein snack...

Shelly's Frozen Protein Yogurt (or Pudding) Drops

1/2 cup Greek Yogurt (or sugar free Pudding)

3-4 Tablespoons (to taste) of any Protein Powder

Mix together till well combined. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and drop tablespoons of the mixture (yields about 25 drops)

or fill an ice cube tray.

Freeze till solid about 2 hours. Store in the freezer (up to a week or so) and pop a few in your mouth whenever you want a frozen protein treat or add to smoothies for an extra protein boost instead of ice.

In this batch I used Celebrate ENS in strawberry & chocolate Milk. I had weight loss surgery in one of the hottest summers on record. I would have LOVED these that summer. I kept hearing the music of the ice cream truck driving by the house and it about drove me nuts.

1cup of plain greek yogurt

1/2 cup of either 1% milk or buttermilk

1 packet of hidden valley ranch dressing mix (dressing mix NOT dip mix)

blend with hand mixer and you have awesome low fat low cal ranch dressing.

not sure on the buttermilk, but if you use 1% it has 255 calories and less than 2 grams of fat in the entire almost 16 oz jar or ranch dressing! mmm mmm good.
