Yoplait Greek Style Yoghurt is thick, deliciously creamy and nutritious – so you can feel good about using it in all your favourite meals!

As a wholesome source of protein and calcium, Yoplait Greek Style Yoghurt is a great choice when you’re in need of a snack but want something a bit more substantive that’s good for you.

It’s also a velvety addition to whatever tantalising creation you’re whipping up – savoury or sweet!

Why not try combining it with tandoori paste to create a tasty marinade for chicken or lamb?  Or how about mixed with sweet chilli and fresh lime as a zingy dipping sauce? Add it to breakfast smoothies to make them rich and creamy, or mix with fruit and freeze for a delicious home made frozen yoghurt on a hot summer’s day!

It’s perfect for fluffy pancakes, bircher muesli, creamy salad dressings or simply mixed with fruit, seeds and nuts for a superfood powerhouse treat.

The possibilities are endless and better yet, Yoplait Greek Style Yoghurt can be used as a substitute in many recipes that require cream, mayo, sour cream, oils or cream cheese – so you can give all your favourite foods a nutritional boost.

If grab and go is more your style, Yoplait now has two new mouth-watering Greek Style Yoghurts in a handy four pack.  With honey or vanilla beans, these two tasty treats are super creamy with a hint of sweetness – a nutritious snack that ticks all the boxes.

Yoplait Greek Style Yoghurts are available in supermarkets across New Zealand.
