The first time I tried Greek yogurt, I wasn't impressed. Compared to my light, smooth, ultra sweet yogurt cups I was used to, it just wasn't that good. Greek yogurt is thicker, heavier and not as sugary.
Wait, that's a good thing.

Here's five ways you can add Greek yogurt to your day too!

Here's five ways you can add Greek yogurt to your day too!
- Use fruit-flavored Greek yogurt as a dressing on fruit salad.
- Make a parfait dessert by layering granola, berries and Greek yogurt in a pretty, clear glass.
- Mix seasoning packets or dried herbs with plain Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream) to use as a salad dressing.
- Serve kids miniature fruit kebabs (a strawberry and grape threaded on a pretzel stick) and Greek yogurt as a dipping sauce.
- Experiment with using Greek yogurt and a splash of lemon juice in lieu of mayonnaise in cold, creamy pasta salads.
