Do you have a favorite brand of fat free yogurt? I’ve been buying Horizon’s Organic Fat Free yogurt at Costco. My family is a big fan of their low fat blended yogurts. It’s the closest thing to full fat European-style yogurt that we’ve found here in the States.
I could do a Five Things/Way post just about plain fat free yogurt because it’s so versatile. You can use it as a substitute for sour cream. You can make a smoothie out of it. Combine it with fruit and freeze as a homemade frozen yogurt. Use it to make Greek Feta Chicken. I like it with Kashi puff cereal and fruit for breakfast, too.
Here are a couple of ways I’ve been enjoying it on the Extreme Fat Smash Diet:
Breakfast Yogurt with Apple
I made this recipes up myself one morning since I was given a breakfast choice of a bowl of yogurt and a fruit.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup no fat plain yogurt
- 1 small apple shredded
- 1 packet Equal or other sugar substitute
Combine ingredients and serve.
You could also add a dash of cinnamon. I like the apples uncooked since they’re crunchy and an interesting combination with the creamy texture of the yogurt. But you could bake/steam the apples before adding them to the yogurt, too.

Wow, some great ideas on your blog! Will have to try the apple yogurt.
Lately I’ve just been doing my yogurt (Fage Freakin’ Expensive Greek 0%) with vanilla & splenda. But sometimes I’ll add some unsweetened canned pumpkin, various pumpkin pie spices, and a whole boatload of Splenda (cause it’s pretty darn sour without it). It sounds yucky but it tastes sort of like pumpkin pie, and it’s a great way to sneak a really healthy vegetable in for breakfast. Beats broccoli, anyway.
Great post! Keep up the good work. I found you at USA Today–Blogburst!
