jessgro610 4 Posted November 2, 2016 I am convinced! I have used it in the place of sour cream a few times now and can barely tell the difference!! Sent from my SM-N930V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephanie 73 Posted November 2, 2016 I make both at home and they are not the same. Greek yogurt is simply regular plain yogurt with the whey removed. You can make it yourself by buying a good plain yogurt and dumping it in a muslin lined colander (strainer) and setting it in a bowl to catch the whey for 24-48 hours. then put it back in the container and you have Greek yogurt. Sour cream is a culture you can make by using a bit of sour cream and half and half then let it sit and ferment for a day or two. One has a higher calorie content than the other. Both are pretty good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
highfunctioningfatman 2,675 Posted November 2, 2016 I've used Greek yogurt in place of a lot of different things and it works out quite well. Try it with lemon juice as a Salad Dressing, add lime and cilantro to put on cheese squares, in place of mayo for deviled eggs, I could go on but the point is get creative, it is fun!

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted November 2, 2016 I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in my guacamole, veggie dip, salad dressings, etc. Great Protein source, same taste to me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love the idea of using it foe Salad Dressing. I love "creamy" dressings but I won't them anymore due to calories/fat. I'm going to try the greek yogurt with lemon and maybe some herbs as soon as I can eat salads. thanks for the idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
