Tag: non-dairy yogurt

Greek yogurt is a popular and healthy type of yogurt with plenty of nutrients and protein. It can be used as a substitute for sour cream in soups and tacos or as a replacement for oil or buttermilk in baking recipes. If you don’t have Greek yogurt or need a dairy-free or plant-based alternative, there are several options. Plain yogurt can be used as a 1:1 substitute for Greek yogurt in baking and pancakes. Straining plain yogurt can create a similar thick texture. Sour cream is a good substitute for Greek yogurt in baking recipes and for topping chili and tacos. Vegan sour cream, made with cashews, tofu, and lemon juice, can be used as a dairy-free substitute for Greek yogurt in dolloping chili and tacos. Other substitutes, like mayonnaise, may be suitable for specific recipes, such as creamy salads, on a case-by-case basis.
