  • Veggie dip: use  Greek yogurt as the base.  Add avocado for a creamy, delicious treat that the whole family will love.  
  • Fruit dip: Greek yogurt (strawberry, blood orange and passion fruit are a few of my favorites) with an equal amount of light whipped topping.   Or make it into a fruit salad base.
  • Birthday cupcake frosting:   Start with equal amounts of plain non-fat Greek yogurt and semi-sweet chocolate chips.  Let the yogurt come to room temperature for two hours, meanwhile melt the chocolate chips in microwave and cool to room temperature.  Stir in ¼ cup amounts of chocolate into the yogurt and spread onto your cupcakes!  
  • Mashed potatoes with sour cream plain Greek yogurt and chives
