Using Greek yogurt in recipes will help you reduce fat without sacrificing flavor. Greek yogurt has a thicker texture than the regular variety because it is strained. The straining removes the liquid whey along with some of the sugar and salt. This straining concentrates the protein and calcium, giving you more per cup than regular yogurt.
Use these conversions to help you make your favorite dishes healthier:
- 1 cup butter = 1/4 cup yogurt + 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup mayonnaise = 1 cup yogurt
- 1 cup oil = 3/4 cup yogurt
- 1 cup sour cream = 1 cup yogurt
