Yes, you can, but you need to drain it first. Ellie Krieger in her cookbook The Food You Crave recommends spooning the yogurt into a strainer lined with paper towels and let sit for 30 minutes. I tried it with 1 cup of yogurt and it worked beautifully. Remember the liquid that drains off is full of nutrients so you may want to add that to your favorite juice or milk and drink it down.
