Is greek yogurt good for meal planning?

Plain non-fat Greek yogurt is a strong protein source for the calories — comparable to chicken breast on a protein-per-calorie basis. It is also versatile in cooking.

Flavoured pots can carry a lot of added sugar. Plain yogurt with fruit or a little honey is usually lower calorie and just as enjoyable.

How to use greek yogurt in a meal plan

  • Bowl with berries, oats and a drizzle of honey
  • Use as a base for high-protein smoothies
  • Swap for sour cream on chilli, tacos or potatoes
  • Mix with herbs and lemon for a quick dip or sauce
