Ingredient Substitutions For Healthier Recipes

The Substitution Power Of Greek Yogurt

Plain Greek yogurt is a nutritional powerhouse; there is no denying it. Though the exact amounts and benefits can vary between brands, one of the constants is the fact Greek yogurt is full of healthy nutrients such as protein, probiotics, calcium, potassium, and vitamin B12, often in higher quantities than regular plain yogurt. Greek yogurt can replace oil, mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese, and even buttermilk in many baked goods. It is replaced in equal parts (one cup for one cup) for mayonnaise, sour cream, and cream cheese. However, use ¾ cup of Greek yogurt for every cup of oil and ⅔ cup of greek yogurt plus ⅓ cup skim milk for every cup of buttermilk.
