Greek Yogurt – All Day Every Day

by Cait @ Beyond Bananas on June 6, 2012

I swear. Greek Yogurt is one of my most favorite foods. I particularly like plain greek yogurt because I can dress it up any way that I want to. Add fruit – NuNaturals Sweetener.. cocoa powder… protein powder. Ooh. The possibilities are endless!

 

 

Breakfast includes some Chobani Plain Greek Yogurt – mixed with Kashi Puffs, some banana slices and PB.  It is an amazing combo and gets me protein, carbs, and healthy fats!

Breakfast is of course accompanied by coffee.. with almond milk. No yogurt there. Lo siento.

Lunch is a turkey sandwich with a sliced granny smith apple – of course accompanied by some more Greek yogurt.. with another blob of PB.  I heated my sandwich on the Foreman Grill because that is of course… the only way to eat a sandwich.

Dinner – Chicken Tacos.  For the first time, we used ground chicken. Previously, I would always cook up a couple of chicken breasts, cube it, and then toss it in some salsa.  However – I decided to try ground chicken this time – and both Justin and I really enjoyed it!

I cooked the chicken – and then added in some salsa.  Inside the tortilla is lettuce, more salsa, a Mexican cheese blend.. and of course.. greek yogurt. I use is as a sub for sour cream and it tastes heavenly!

And for dessert .. the (yogurtless) combo of vanilla pudding, Bananas, and peanut flour (mixed with water for thickening).

As always – a special thanks to Jenn and her awesome link up party – that allows us to look at delicious eats each and every Wednesday!!

I love Greek yogurt! We have a local brand called Atlanta Farm Fresh and is the best I’ve ever had. In second place with Wallaby’s new Greek.

Making sandwiches of the George Foreman is so brilliant. I always forget about that one!

It is a great sub! I’ve used it in boxed brownie mix when I was in a pinch.. and I am SO glad I did. It is the ONLY way I’ll ever make brownies again!

I always forget about ground chicken! That’s an awesome switch-up for tacos :)

Definitely! I made a ground chicken burger with marinara sauce and mozz cheese with the leftovers. That was indeed delicious as well!

Another Greek Yogurt lover here! I eat it for breakfast almost every day, and usually as a snack too. Right now, I am really loving a black cherry flavor. But I also enjoy plain because it allows me to make it whatever I want it to be.

I’ve never tried black cherry before, but I will be sure to give it a go – since I love black cherries on their own! Thanks, Kim!

I am in love with greek yogurt now too! I have never tried it with peanut butter on top though! Sounds delicious and I might just have to go do that! (:

Be careful Danielle.. it is quite likely you will be addicted.. especially if you are a nut butter fan! :)

Ya know what.. Nikki.. It has been a good long while since I’ve enjoyed some vanilla. That needs to change.. ASAP!

I’m glad I’m not the only greek yogurt addict out there :) I actually was wondering if there were any negatives to eating TOO much yogurt in a day! Your day of meals sounded very similar to mine! Breakfast was Strawberry Banana Chobani with 2tbsp of PB2 powder mixed in… heavenly!! Lunch was chicken enchilada with a cup of Mango Chobani. Dinner was scrambled eggs and black beans topped with a dollop of plain Chobani (I also sub it in for sour cream) and salsa. Dessert was shared with my toddler – a cup of Chobani and blackberries. I obviously need an intervention :) And it sounds like you do too!!!!

Hahh! Intervention.. yes. It is likely that I need one of those..and for WAY more then just Greek Yogurt. We might as well throw my other addictions of nut butters and dark chocolates in there, as well! :)

I LOVE how much yogurt you ate, Kelly!

I’m glad I’m not the only one obsessed with Chobani. I seriously have it every day. It’s SO good! I just mix in a little protein power and some fruit!
