Greek yogurt is great as a low-calorie, low-fat substitute for sour cream. We also use it on salads, flavouring it with seeded mustard as a dressing – yum! It can also be used to make a sweet creamy yogurt for a healthy and filling topping on fresh fruit. Greek yogurt can be used as an all-rounder saving you money, space in the refrigerator and waste.

I like to use Natvia instead of artificial sweeteners. Natvia is a Stevia plant product. Any sweeteners should be kept to a minimum if you want to be in control of that sweet tooth or carb addiction but we all love a little sweetness in our nutrition menu. Here is my recipe for Sweet Greek Yogurt Cream.
