Lately we’ve been stocking up on Greek yogurt at a local discount grocery store, so I’ve enjoyed sprucing it up a bit for my snacks and desserts. I’m not a fan of plain Greek yogurt, but thinned down with some almond milk and sweetened nicely, it’s great! The additions help tame the tang. Not long ago, I posted quite a few single-serve Greek yogurt variations, but I thought it would be nice to provide measurements so you can mix up a larger container to keep on hand. If you use your favorite sweetener to taste (Walmart’s squirtable liquid stevia would work just fine), these recipes don’t take any special ingredients!
Would you like to try making your own Greek yogurt? It’s really easy! Click here for my video tutorial.
Need a dairy-free option? Try my friend Gwen’s Coconut Yogurt recipe! You probably won’t need to add extra liquid to it.
Vanilla – this classic never gets old. I used to love store-bought vanilla yogurt, so I’m happy to have a healthy option that only takes 4 ingredients!
Peanut Butter – this one should come as no surprise….
Key Lime Pie – this was my favorite yogurt flavor growing up, and while I love the peanut butter option in this post, the Key Lime Pie might beat it by just a smidgen. And it’s a THM Fuel Pull!
Orange – another classic that’s good on its own or paired with some orange slices for a THM:E option.
These yogurt flavors would make great yogurt parfaits! Check out last week’s post to get ideas. I’d love to try the peanut butter yogurt with some of my Peanut Butter Granola and berry sauce for a PB&J parfait!

- 1 500g container low-fat Greek yogurt (about 2 cups)
- ⅓ c. half and half or unsweetened almond milk
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp. THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder (or more, to taste)
- 1 500g container Greek yogurt (about 2 cups)
- ⅓ c. half and half or unsweetened almond milk
- 3 T. natural peanut butter
- ⅛ tsp. THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder (or more, to taste)
- (If a stronger peanut butter flavor is desired, add a tablespoon or two of defatted peanut flour. If you use low-fat yogurt and defatted peanut flour in place of the peanut butter, this would be a THM:FP. You may need to add more peanut flour than the peanut butter called for, plus some extra salt and sweetener to round out the flavors.)
- 1 500g container low-fat Greek yogurt (about 2 cups)
- ⅓ c. half and half or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 T. lime juice
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- 5-6 doonks THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder (or more, to taste)(a doonk is 1/32 tsp.)
- 1 drop each green and yellow food coloring (optional)
- 1 500g container low-fat Greek yogurt (about 2 cups)
- ⅓ c. half and half or unsweetened almond milk
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ tsp. orange extract
- ⅛ tsp. THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder (or more, to taste)
- 1 drop each red and yellow food coloring (optional)
- Whisk the ingredients together for the flavor you want to make. Adjust the half and half/almond milk according to your desired thickness, and adjust the sweetness to your liking as well. Some THM Gentle Sweet would be a good option for adding a kick of extra sweetness if needed. The flavor of the yogurt is best after overnight refrigeration.
- Because of the additions to the yogurt, it probably won't keep quite as long as plain Greek yogurt. It will keep for at least a week in the fridge; if the added liquid separates out a bit, just give the yogurt a stir.
- Each recipe yields 4 servings.
Need to be dairy-free? Try Gwen's Coconut Yogurt recipe. (You probably won't need to add extra liquid to it.) If you need to be nut free, use the half and half option to thin down the yogurt, or try coconut milk instead. (Most people with nut allergies can have coconut products, but check with your doctor first to make sure.) Obviously the peanut butter option is off limits for nut allergies.

Oh my goodness….my hubie wanted vanilla yogurt …. no plain greek yoghurt. Was so pleased with this … had to tweek because he is not a fan of straight up stevia. But he liked it! Thank you
I have made the Greek yogurt twice and I can not get the whey to the top!!! The yogurt will not thicken either! What in the world am I doing wrong? I have followed the video to the letter and it won’t come out right. Please help me. Thank you Connie Pierce.
Hi Connie, I’m not quite sure what you mean about trying to get the whey to the top. After the yogurt is made, you should strain it in a suspended bag so the whey drains out the bottom. Do you mean that the yogurt step never sets up into a big curd? In that case, make sure you’re using a yogurt with active cultures and maybe try to find a recipe online that gives more specific recommendations about temperature. Mine always works just going by the generic directions given in my video, but something obviously isn’t working in your case and you may need to use a thermometer to make sure your milk is the right temperature when adding the yogurt. 🙂 Also, is your oven light functioning properly? These are some things to check out. I’m sorry you’re having trouble!
How well does this keep in the fridge. My friend’s family loves the triple zero from Dannon, but when she tried making it on her own, she said it separated and didn’t keep well. My hubby and I are trying to do THM, and he loves yogurt, but the triple zero can be pricey. I’d love to try this, but I’m afraid of wasting money if it doesn’t keep.
Oops, forgot the “?” in the first sentence. Sorry!
“Because of the additions to the yogurt, it won’t keep quite as long as plain Greek yogurt. I don’t recommend stirring up more than 1 container at a time. It will keep for a few days in the fridge. If the added liquid separates out a bit, just give the yogurt a stir.” I hope this helps!
What brand greek yogurt do you buy? Thanks!
We’re currently using Fage because that’s what we’ve been finding at a discount grocery store, but we’ve used many different brands. 🙂
I really love your recipes. It is such a help for someone who is not so gifted in the kitchen. Is there any chance that you have a recipe for salted caramel yogurt? I am addicted to it & can’t find a recipe to make my own & it is so expensive to buy. Thanks so much for the yogurt ideas you have shared. I can’t wait to make my next batch of yogurt & try them.
Hi Beverly! I’m afraid I don’t. You could try adding some caramel extract and salt, though.
I am interested in the discount grocery store that you mention–can you share where it is located and any more information you may have about it or any others that you know? Thanks so much–love your blog!
I think it’s called “Bargain Deals” and it’s located in Greenville, SC. There are a few others in the area as well; “Deal Mart” is a chain of discount grocery stores in the area. If you’re looking for discount grocery stores in your area, I recommend searching for “discount grocery stores” on Google (include the name of your area in the search as well).
