Giant Eagle Greek Nonfat Yogurt
What it is
This is a thick and creamy yogurt made from skim milk. It has a tangy flavor and is strained to remove most of the whey. It is a versatile dairy product that can be enjoyed on its own or used in various culinary applications. The nonfat aspect means it contains very little fat.
How people cook with it

You can eat it straight from the container for a quick snack or breakfast. Blend it into smoothies for added creaminess and body. Use it as a base for dips and salad dressings, or substitute it for sour cream or mayonnaise in recipes. It can also be used to marinate meats, adding tenderness and a subtle tang. Its thick texture makes it suitable for baking as well, often replacing higher-fat dairy.
