Culinary Tips and Tricks

Want to use Greek Yogurt as more than a topping? Here are some easy ways to get started incorporating yogurt beyond as a topping:

•Increase the amount of fruit in your diet with a yogurt-based smoothie or fruit-topped parfait

•Pair sliced vegetables and whole grain crackers with yogurt-inspired dips like a Blue Cheese and Chive Dip or Guacamole.

•Add extra flavor to your favorite lean meat or fish dish with yogurt-based sauces and dressings like homemade Tzatziki or Ranch Dressing.

•Boost the amount of legumes in your diet with yogurt-infused dishes like Hummus or White Bean Chicken Chili.
