Greek yogurt is one of our favorite superfoods. It has a wonderful thick and creamy texture and because it’s strained, it has twice as much protein as traditional yogurt.
To help you enjoy more Greek yogurt and everything you can make with it, our generous friends at Chobani are providing 10 Appetite for Health fans a chance to win a CASE of Chobani Greek yogurt!
For great ideas on how to use Greek yogurt to make our favorite recipes better-for-you, check out our recent post, 10 Best Ways to Enjoy Greek Yogurt as well as the Chobani Kitchen. At the Chobani Kitchen, you’ll find great ideas for making everything from coleslaw to vanilla cupcakes (pictured at right) using Chobani Greek yogurt. There’s also a handy conversion chart for how to use Chobani as a better substitute for many ingredients, including butter, oil and mayonnaise. Hopefully, it will inspire you to try cooking or baking more with Greek yogurt… and that’s where Chobani and winning today’s giveaway can help.
In case you’re unfamiliar with Chobani Greek yogurt, here’s some background: Chobani’s centuries-old straining technique creates yogurt that has two times more protein than regular yogurt, and less sodium, sugar and carbohydrates. Their plain yogurts are made from two ingredients: milk and live active cultures. For their flavored varieties, they add fruit and evaporated cane juice.

I’m always trying to get my dad to eat healthier and he loves mayo. So any recipe that calls for mayo such as egg salad, potato salad or chicken salad, I’m going to replace the mayo with plain greek yogurt. Also, I would add greek yogurt to smoothies to pump up the protein in it as well add creaminess.
I use greek yogurt in just about everything! From pancakes, to cakes, to sauces, it’s very versatile! I’m trying to get my husband to eat it more so if I won this it would be nice to let him try the flavors in new recipes and maybe he’ll learn to love it more! Sharing away!!

I LOVE to use Chobani while making “Ranch” (Plain Greek Yogurt, Ranch Seasoning Packet). Low cal solution and tastes very close to real ranch! I also love using the fruit-flavored ones or the vanilla one on bagels. It is super creamy, almost like cream cheese. I LOVE cream cheese, so I tend to use a LOT of it. With using greek yogurt, I can use “tons”, and not go over 150 calories! Yay for greek yogurt and Chobani!
