Greek Yogurt???

[Jachut 487]

Just checked the fridge, yes its the true greek yogurt we eat.

I also love the thick set vanilla yogurt, yummm.

To me, yogurt should be something you can put on your spoon, turn the spoon upside down and it doesnt run off - it should be thick and of a set consistency. Runny stuff, ick.

Jachut, if you thought the idea of our dough in a can was weird -- have you seen our drinkable yogurt? How about the squeeze yogurt that comes in a long plastic tube? Not to mention some of the 40+ flavors that are available.

Lol, we have those. But dough in a can... that IS weird!

OMG, once I found Greek yogurt, I don't even buy the regular stuff anymore.

I made Blue cheese dressing with it, but using a cup of plain, 0% fat and a 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese. No one I faked out with it knew it was yogurt.

Greek is GREAT!

A little trick....

If you can't find Greek or don't like it but would like your Yoplait a little thicker. Get a large bowl and some cheese cloth. You can strain regular yogurt to be a thicker stouter version of itself!

OK, let me start by saying I'm cheap. I love Greek yogurt, but am way too cheap to pay $1.40 or more (Fage is 2.09) for one little 6 oz pot.

I make my own, and usually get a quart and a half or more of really thick Greek yogurt for the cost of a gallon of milk. And my Greek Step-grandmother in law says Greek Yogurt can be with cow milk, it's the cultures and thickness, not the animal that makes the difference.

A good recipe is Bean Sprouts: How to Make Greek Yogurt. I make a gallon at a time in a huge glass bowl, and stick it in the oven with the light on. Keeps it warm enough, and is really easy. I then strain it in a strainer with 2 coffee filters, or in a muslin bag over a bowl in the fridge. I do it in batches, and stop at different times, my husband and son like it a little thinner. And yes, I have made it with fat free milk, you end up with a smaller amount, but it's still really good. I also sometimes add powdered milk to the milk prior to heating.

You can add some honey to the milk, or what I do, heat some fresh or frozen berries until some juice is formed, cool, and put that in the bottom of an 8 ounce container, then fill up with yogurt. YUMMYYYYY:drool:

Thank you for posting that recipe! I have just started eating Greek yogurt, but found the cost very high. I have been buying Chobani fat free Greek yogurt. It is very tasty, but at $1.59 for that small tub, it is too high to have often. I will be making some for myself this week!:smile2:
