Tangy and thick Greek yogurt takes the place of mayo in our Greek Yogurt Deviled Eggs. Made with just 5 simple ingredients!
Greek yogurt deviled eggs – an unplanned creation.
When you live in the country, 20 minutes from the nearest grocery store, there is a lot of improvising of recipes that takes place. You country folks, know what I’m talking about! Growing up, I lived just two blocks from my local small town grocery store so having to make a grocery run didn’t require a lot of extra time. I didn’t realize how much of a luxury that was until I moved to the country.
One time, I was chatting with someone over the phone that lived in a big city and who wasn’t really familiar with life outside of the city. Anyways, she recommended a certain brand of yogurt so I asked her where I could purchase it and she said, “Whole Foods”. So I informed her that the nearest Whole Foods was a little over 2 hours from where I live and boy was she in disbelief! She didn’t understand how I could live that far away from ‘civilization’ ;). haha! While where I live does have its cons and you really have to plan ahead when your make a trip into “town”, I must say that the pros most definitely outweigh the cons in my opinion. Peace and quiet, no traffic, gravel roads, open space for my 4-legged children to roam, beautiful sunrises and sunsets are all totally my jam and I love it!
The reason I share this story is because a few weeks ago I decided to make deviled eggs for a fun project that Jess and I are working on with McCormick’s Spices. I wanted to feature their smokey paprika and I also do really love deviled eggs. After the eggs were boiled and peeled and the yolks were in the food processor ready to be whipped, I went to grab the mayo…and you guessed it, no mayo! However, I did happen to have a container of Kalona Super Natural Greek Yogurt so I went with it.
As a result, Greek Yogurt Deviled Eggs were born! So creamy, so simple, a little tangy and oh so tasty!
Greek Yogurt Deviled Eggs, the perfect high-protein snack.
Deviled eggs are a great source of protein and so is Greek yogurt. I’ve loving this Greek Yogurt Deviled Eggs as healthy and satisfying afternoon snack or as part of my lunch for an extra boost of protein.
Made with just 5-ingredients and oh so delicious!
Because we like to keep things simple around here in The Real Food RD land, this recipe is made with just 5 simple ingredients. You’re going to love the pleasant mustard flavor in these deviled eggs as well as the burst of flavor from the touch of coconut aminos (or worcestershire) and the perfect dusting of smokey paprika. And you just can’t beat the creaminess that comes with blending the yolks and Greek yogurt!
If you don’t have Greek yogurt on hand, no problem! Feel free to improvise and use mayo. We like mayo, too!

Ever since they changed everything to bio-enginerred ingredients I can’t eat many things.I had to give up my hellmans. I made deviled eggs with this and it’s Amazing! Even my husband likes it! My new go to for mayonnaise substitute! Thank you!
This is so great Julie! Thank you for sharing this feedback with us. We appreciate the 5-star review!
I made it & its quick, easy & tasty. I used my Blender & may have added too much yogurt. The consistency was like a cookie/cake dough. Too soupy. Also used Dijon mustard & liked it. Will try again, the yogurt is brilliant!
