I love using Greek yogurt in my cooking and baking. It helps my baked goods turn out moist, soft, and fluffy.

With rare exception, I use it interchangeably with sour cream. It’s thick and rich like sour cream, but isn’t as much of a caloric lead balloon.

I love using Chobani because their yogurt is high-quality, great tasting, and is made with only natural ingredients. It tastes great for eating, and I always get the results I’m looking for when I bake with it.

  1. I had a recipe for a butternut squash fritata a few days ago & had all the ingredients except sour cream. I substituted with chobani plain greek yogurt (my favorite) and it came out great!

  2. We LOVE Chobani here! I use Greek yogurt in anything that calls for sour cream. Chip dip today!

  3. I love the thick creaminess of Greek yogurt and use in anywhere I can use sour cream. My favorite is a pasta sauce – add grated cheese (lots!), garlic powder to taste (lots!) and basil

  4. Use it in smoothies, sub for sour cream (plain) in recipes, or just plain eat from the container!

  5. I use yogurt to make my dips and sauces and would love to use this Chobani giveaway!! I usually have yogurt every morning when I get up! I love yogurt and these flavors look delicious!!!

  6. Our family LOVES Chobani yogurt. We go through 120 cups a month. Yep. 120 cups. A MONTH. ANYhoo, that Oven Baked Parsnip Chips with Balsamic reduction dip looks fan-freakin-tastic! I imagine the parsnip chips would be good dipped in a regular ol’ cup of Chobani as well. YUM.

  7. I didn’t enter the giveaway – just wanted to stop by and let you know that I love this round-up! I swear by Greek yogurt and use it in all of my baked good recipes too. Thank goodness for Greek yogurt not being a “caloric lead balloon.” I honestly could not have said it better myself.

  8. I eat Greek yogurt every single day. My fave add-ins are slivered almonds, cinnamon, and raw cacoa nibs. Sometimes all three!

  9. I absolute;y love Chobani yogurt in pineapple/coconut smoothies! I also like to stir plain yogurt into sauces and gravies to thicken and mellow out the flavors.
