1. A yogurt cake: It’s a tasty basic, with infinite variations! The pot of yoghurt is your measuring scale for oil, sugar and flour (or cornstarch). Add the baking powder and everything you want: chocolate, lemon, fruit, nuts… Half an hour into the oven at 360°F (180°C) and voila! A true fragrance from childhood… Nostalgia…
2. A frozen yogurt: both low in calories and very greedy,homemade frozen yogurt comes in thousand of flavors: Just freeze your yogurt for a few hours, then take it out 30 minutes before preparation to add a handful of fruit — berries for instance — , a little honey and using a food processor, mix everything. A delight!
3. A lightweight dip: Yogurt can be the basis for many low-fat sauces. Add fresh aromatic herbs, spices of your choice, vinegar or mustard and you get a delicious base for dipping crunchy raw vegetables like carrot or cauliflower. Ideal as an appetizer.
4. A vitamins milkshake: Get your food processor or blender ready, mix yogurt, fruit of your choice and you’re set! You get a delicious milkshake in less than 2 minutes, to enjoy at any time of the day… Lighter than a drink made of ice cream and sugar and easier to digest than milky options.
5. A lighter quiche: Yogurt is your best ally to make homemade quiches lighter without losing taste. Several choices are available: replace one egg with a yogurt — it will help to tie everything together — or reduce the amount of cream.
