If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve already been subjected to hefty amount of greek yogurt pictures over the past couple of years. I am a big, big fan of greek yogurt. It’s one of my go-to quick breakfast favorites, and I use it often in baking or in soup (instead of sour cream). 
As with anything you eat often, sometimes it can get boring. Having options to change up the flavor is a must. Here are a few of my personal favorites.
1. Banana Bread Greek Yogurt:
You’ll need one ripe banana, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, 7 oz. greek yogurt (one small container), and a few walnuts or banana chips. Mash up the banana and stir into the yogurt. Stir in the extract, and top with nuts or banana chips. This one is awesome for breakfast.
2. Chocolate Pudding Greek Yogurt:
You’ll need 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons instant chocolate pudding and 7 oz. greek yogurt. Stir together. Stir well; you don’t want any clumps of powder. This one is probably my favorite because as you stir, the yogurt will begin to thicken—like chocolate mousse. Top with fresh fruit. I personally think this makes a better afternoon snack or light dessert than a breakfast because it feels so decadent, even though it’s pretty healthy. You could also freeze this and have a really great frozen yogurt treat!
3. Cookie Dough Greek Yogurt:
This one is another almost dessert. I first saw cookie dough greek yogurt here. To make this, you’ll need 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a few mini chocolate chips. Mix together and enjoy this treat!
4. Lemon Meringue Greek Yogurt:
I discovered this combination last week while making Citrus Tarts. To make lemon meringue greek yogurt, you’ll need 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon curd (homemade or store bought is fine) and 7 oz. greek yogurt. Stir together and top with granola. I love this for breakfast because the citrus really wakes you up. Yum!
What about you? Do you have any favorite ways to enjoy greek yogurt? xo. Emma

The cookie dough is my favorite. I usually add a splash of vanilla extract to mine and instead of honey I sweeten it with a little Truvia and stir in a tablespoon of sliced almonds for extra crunch!
I had a thought last night, could I make instant pudding using nonfat plain Greek yogurt. Just did a search and found your recipe ideas. So glad I searched and going to make some chocolate fudge pudding today. Thank you.
These look incredible. I will definitely be trying these as soon as possible!
I love your blog by the way :))

Savoring the chocolate pudding greek yogurt now – so yummy! Can’t wait to try the other variations. Breakfast just got a lot less dull!
I have a serious sweet tooth, and I practically can’t end my day without something sweet. Thanks for the excellent alternatives to Ben & Jerry’s.
I have been bored with Greek yogurt for awhile after eating it almost every morning for a couple of years. I’ll try these immediately!
Omg, I am salivating just looking at these! (Is that tmi?) I love Greek yogurt but totally do the same thing every morning (yogurt, honey, peaches). Will definitely have to try these! Thanks!
Whow its GREAT!!!!
Yum! I’m going to try them all
thanks for sharing

So happy to have come across this posting! I usually add some Greek yogurt to my fruit smoothie but love the idea to add some things to it instead of just the fruit flavored yogurt. When I make banana bread I add some mini chocolate chips, I think I’ll add those in place of the nuts! 😉 thanks for these wonderful ideas!
Yum! I bought yogurt maker recently and am in love with it! I eat yogurt all the time now, so any excuse to eat more sounds good!

These ideas will help put me on the road to the pounds I intend to lose. Thank you!
Oatmeal is one the best foods to put a dollop of greek yogurt in! I make plain oatmeal (use either water or milk or non-dairy milk of choice), yogurt and either honey or maple syrup. Recently I discovered adding just a 1 teaspoon of dark cocoa powder to the oatmeal makes for a satisfying evening treat! Yes, I usually eat oatmeal in the evening but it’s a great food to fill me up.

I love you girls!!!!!! Iam from greece ,definitly our ´´γιαουρτί´ Is the best!!!!! Very interesting ways of tasting it .Thanks for the idea!!!
These are great ones! We also use to eat it with honey & walnuts. The one I like the most, is with sweet cherry & syrup. It’s a traditional, homemade sweet a bit like jam.
These are such terrific ideas! I’ve been trying to enjoy Greek yogurt forever, and I have a psychotic affinity for lemon curd, so it’s a win-win. Thanks, guys!
