A bowl of creamy, protein-rich Greek yogurt is a perfect way to start the day, but why restrict tangy goodness to the breakfast table? Greek yogurt makes a healthy, filling snack any time of day. Greek yogurt has a thicker texture and more protein and probiotics (aka those live cultures Jamie Lee Curtis is always talking about in TV ads) than the regular stuff. If you’re not a fan of the store-bought stuff, make your own at home! Greek yogurt has a tangier taste than its non-strained shelf mates, so it’s perfect for sweet or savory recipes. From a fruity smoothie to lunch-worthy chicken salad, here are 31 recipes so you can enjoy Greek yogurt a new way every day of the month.
1. Apple Cinnamon Protein Pancakes Who said pancakes were only for mornings? These pancakes make a great post-workout snack any time of day. Mix plain Greek yogurt, grated apple, whole-wheat flour, and protein powder together with plenty of cinnamon, ground cloves, and vanilla. Bonus: they freeze well, so make a big batch and reheat for a quick hit of protein.

2. Curried Chicken Salad Using thick Greek yogurt instead of mayo adds a whole new dimension to chicken salad (and takes away quite a few calories to boot). For this all-star salad, combine ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon curry powder, ¼ teaspoon Cayenne pepper, 2 cups chopped cooked chicken, 2 stalks celery (diced), ½ cup red grapes (halved), 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy on a slice of toast, with a side salad, or with a fork standing in front of the fridge (hey, it happens).

3. (Roasted) Berry Popsicles These fruity pops would be especially great at a summer barbeque or picnic at the height of berry season. Toss berries with two teaspoons of sugar, a pinch of sea salt, and a drizzle of honey and roast for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Once the berries are cooled, add them to two cups of plain Greek yogurt along with a dash of lemon juice and a swirl of honey, stir to combine, and pour mixture into ice pop molds. Freeze for at least four hours.

4. Chocolate Muffins Protein? Check. Chocolate? Check. Whip up a batch of these muffins to satisfy a chocolate craving without going too crazy. While still probably not a “health food,” these muffins have been given a welcome makeover thanks to vanilla Greek yogurt.

5. “Greek” Hummus Dip Get your Mediterranean on with this recipe that combines two all-star southern European foods. This dip comes together in no time — just blend 1 can garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed), ¾ cup Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon olive oil, three cloves of garlic, the juice of one lemon, and salt and pepper in a food processor until smooth. Serve with raw veggies or whole-wheat pita slices for a satisfying and fresh snack.
6. Yogurt Parfait For rushed mornings, quick afternoon breaks, or pretty much any busy time at all, this combo is a no-brainer. Top yogurt with low-fat granola, fresh fruit, or fruit compote for a speedy snack.

7. Date and Pecan Loaf This not-too-sweet bread is ideal for an afternoon pick-me-up or mid-morning snack. The dates and Greek yogurt keep the loaf super-moist while offering a hint of sweetness. This recipe calls for healthy ingredients like whole-wheat flour, flaxseed, and pecans but feel free to add in any of your other favorite fixings like chia, cinnamon, dried fruit, or any other nuts.

8. Yogurt Pesto Combine 1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt with ½ cup pesto (homemade or store bought, basic basil or variety of your choice), and mix until smooth. Pair it with roasted potatoes or vegetables, scrambled eggs, whole-wheat pasta, or use as dipping sauce for chicken, fish, or steak. Spread it on a sandwich, use it as a base for dressing — the possibilities are truly endless because this rockstar sauce goes with pretty much everything.

9. Yogurt-Topped Sweet Potato Top those taters with tangy Greek yogurt instead of traditional (and high-fat) sour cream. Keep the healthy vibe going with fresh herbs (chives are great), sautéed onions, cooked meat or beans, or any kind of vegetable. (Black beans and broccoli are a favorite sweet potato-topper around here!)

10. Whole-Wheat Scones Scones used to be right up there next to muffins on our breakfast dangerfood list, but no more. This scone recipe is the healthiest version we’ve seen in a while, with whole-wheat flour, coconut oil instead of butter, low-fat milk and Greek yogurt, and plenty of dried fruit and chopped nuts for flavor.
