You can use Greek yogurt to make creamy dips, spreads, elegant non-fat desserts, main dishes and more. As a cooking ingredient, it makes a healthy substitute for cream, cream cheese, sour cream or ricotta cheese. And it’s less likely than regular yogurt to curdle when heated.
Greek yogurt can add more protein and calcium to your dishes than the same amount of sour cream, cream cheese, butter or cream. If you don’t heat it, Greek yogurt will also add healthy cultures to your dish.
Try adding it to vegetables, grains or entrees. Spread it on a bagel, or put it on your baked potato. You can even use it as an egg extender, to use one less egg in your recipes.
