Sounds good RadishRose, if I made it though, I'd leave out the sugar.

Sometimes I make onion dip using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, comes out great and low fat! I use Dannon (Fage or Oikos) Plain Greek yogurt, 0% fat, and the only ingredient is cultured grade A non-fat milk.

I use three 5.3oz. containers of yogurt, and mixed with a packet of dry onion soup mix (I use Lipton).Can be a dip for veggies or chips, add some olive oil and it can be a salad dressing.
 
Recently made some of that dip with the soup mix and Fage plain nonfat Greek yogurt, it was very stiff and dry, not very good. Made it again yesterday with Chobani plain nonfat Greek yogurt, the one I've been eating for quite awhile now with my organic lemon/lime juice, unrefined raw honey and hemp hearts/flaxseeds.

Anyhoo, when made with the Chobani, it was smoother, looser and creamier, came out very well. :D
 
Yes, SB some of that Greek style yogurt is very thick, it's easier on the chips a bit looser like with your citrus juice and honey , which sounds delicious, btw. You grind the seeds into powder, yes? Then definitely some liquid or a less stiff yogurt. Mine has the mayo and it's still a little on the stiff side.

When I crave this, I WANT the fat. It's very occasional thing.
 
I just buy the Bob's Red Mill organic ground flaxseed from Costco, and sprinkle that on top, never ground any seeds myself. This is the consistency. I get my fat cravings satisfied from many other sources Rose. :playful:

 
Oh I see, SB, you buy it already ground. We're penny-pinchers I guess; it's less expensive my grandson says to grind his own in the coffee grinder. He mixes the ground flax with some chia and puts it in the blender with kefir, and fresh or frozen fruit.

He could never stomach breakfast until it's too late to eat because of work, so this smoothie is great for him. If he doesn't have any kefir left, he uses plain yogurt but that doesn't have as many strains of probiotics as the kefir.

I toyed with the idea of making our own kefir; you can buy the grains and start a culture but my kitchen is so small, I don't want to have these jars and stuff all over. Plus, with my luck I'd grow some bad bacteria and make us both sick.
 
Glad your grandson is thinking of his health Rose, good for him. When I was working, my breakfast was eating a banana in the car on the way to work, too early to make anything. When I was younger, and still working, I made my own yogurt at home, don't even remember now exactly how I did it. I have more time now, but no enthusiasm to make anything from scratch like I used to. Smart to watch his pennies, that's partly how I saved enough during my working years to retire early, being frugal does pay off.
