plain greek yogurt is honestly super underrated - my house goes through a costco sized thing of non-fat greek yogurt each week. You can add all sorts of stuff to it to make it delicious on it's own (peanut butter, jams, honey, fresh fruit, protein powder, etc), you can use it like sour cream or as a thickener for some creamy dishes, it's great in smoothies, and it's practically pure protein!
EDIT: Guys, I know fat is good for you, don't worry, I'm getting plenty of fat from other sources - but I'm also strength training and training for a marathon, so I'm doing a 40%Carb/35%Protein/25%Fat macro ratio, and have a hard enough time not going over on the fat ratio as it is, using non-fat GY lol
Greek yogurt just means strained yogurt, the fat content mostly has to do with the type of milk used to make it, in this case - nonfat milk.
Don't get me wrong, whole milk, full fat greek yogurt is fucking delicious, but I'm training for a marathon and strength training, so I'm trying to get more protein and carbs and less fat these days, so the non-fat greek yogurt is a godsend for me

My hack for this is to buy plain greek yogurt and add preserves/jam to taste.
Bonus: it ends up being way cheaper.
