1Encourage children to eat fruit by cutting into wedges and serving with a yogurt dip


2When planning a dinner party, plan a cold starter and dessert, which can be made ahead of time to avoid spending all evening in the kitchen


3Thread 1 of each coloured melon ball onto a cocktail stick to make melon traffic lights, server with Onken Yogurt Dip - perfect for kids!


4Use Mild & Creamy Onken Yogurt for a great marinade to soften the meat.  Other sourer yogurts can over marinade the meat, which can make it tough


5Baking soda needs an acid to produce its leavening effect, using Onken Yogurt helps your baking to rise and creates a moist soft texture to baked goods 


6Don't be afraid to be creative with Onken Yogurt flavours in recipes, browse our Recipes we Love and create your own flavour combinations


7Beating vigorously will break yogurt down. When cooking desserts, carefully fold in the yogurt to retain its structure

9Avoid aluminium pans when cooking with yogurt as the metal can react with the yogurt


10When mixing your favourite cocktails, replace cream with yogurt for a healthier option!

15Use Onken Yogurt in a smoothie to add flavour and protein, keeping you fuller for longer


16Got that ¼ pot of fruit yogurt left? Put into an ice cube tray and freeze with a little lolly stick in the centre – a ready-made dessert for the kids!


17No fruit to dice up on your cereals? Top with a fruit flavoured yogurt and still get that lovely fruity taste in the morning
