What to do with Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt is thicker than regular yogurt and works in both sweet and savory meals. Use it as breakfast, a snack, a dip base, or a creamy finishing ingredient.

What it tastes like

Creamy and tangy, with a thick texture that holds toppings and seasonings.

Why it's useful

Greek yogurt can serve as a quick protein-rich breakfast or replace heavier creamy ingredients in dips and sauces.

3 ways to use it

  1. 01
    Build a breakfast bowl

    Top with fruit, oats, peanut butter, or a small sprinkle of coconut.

  2. 02
    Make a savory dip

    Stir in cucumber, lemon, garlic, or a seasoning blend and serve with vegetables or pita.

  3. 03
    Blend a smoothie

    Combine with fruit and milk or water for a thicker, creamier drink.

Keep it fresh

  • →Keep yogurt refrigerated and return it to the refrigerator promptly after serving.
  • →Use a clean spoon to help the container stay fresh.
  • →Some liquid separation is normal; stir it back in unless the product shows signs of spoilage.
