Yogurt recipes are an easy way to incorporate this super food into your meal plan. It contains lots of protein as well as plenty of probiotics, which are good for your digestive health. I’m not suggesting you go granola and make your own yogurt, but it works really well in many recipes that let you reap the rewards even if you don’t like yogurt on its own. Check out these yogurt recipes and you’ll agree with me in no time.
The crunch of carrots just matches the texture of raisins so well. And the two foods together don’t taste half bad either. Combine them with yogurt and you’ve got a super tasty and healthy side dish with very little effort. This is one of the yogurt recipes that you’re going to put on the top of your recipe pile.
Ingredients:
4 cups shredded carrot
1 8-ounce can crushed pineapple in juice, drained and liquid reserved
½ cup chopped pecans, toasted and cooled
¼ cup raisins
¼ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon sugar
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Combine the carrot, pineapple, pecans and raisins in a bowl. In another bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons pineapple juice with the yogurt, sugar and salt. Stir until there are no lumps. Add the yogurt mixture to the carrots and toss well to coat. Chill before serving.

Um…there’s nothing better than bacon, am I right? So anytime a recipe cuts fat and calories elsewhere so I can enjoy crispy bacon is a top one in my book. This recipe is creamy and tastes sinful, so balance it with your other choices for the day. You’re going to love it, I promise!
Ingredients:
1 pound angel hair pasta
½ pound bacon, diced
¼ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup nonfat Greek plain yogurt
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Lemon zest, to taste
Directions:
Cook the pasta as the package directs and set aside. Cook the bacon in a large skillet about 8 minutes, or until cooked and crispy. Remove half the bacon grease from the pan and add the mushroom slices. Cook the mushrooms for about 5 minutes, then add the butter to the pan. Once the butter melts, add the flour and stir to form a roux. Whisk in yogurt and cream and stir the mixture until it thickens. Toss the sauce with the cooked pasta and the lemon zest and serve.
