Greek yogurt is great. Not only is it high in protein and probiotics, it’s yummy, too! You don’t have to just eat your Greek yogurt with chopped fruit, though; it can be used in place of mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese, oil and butter to make your recipes lighter and healthier. Here are just a few recipes that will help you incorporate more Greek yogurt into your diet.
