Low calorie sweetener suggestions?

I love to add PB2 and/or Cocoa Powder to yogurt and sweeten it with a stevia/erythritol/dextrose/maltodextrin granular blend. My problem is two-fold. First, I have no idea what the true caloric value is of this stuff, but I use as much as 20 grams of it per yogurt serving, so there is no way it's zero as the label claims. Secondly, I go through it so quickly, and it costs $5 for a small container that I replace 2 or 3 times a week.
I tried a baking blend, since I can buy a larger amount of it, but I had to use so much more to match the sweetness level of my regular blend that I didn't save any money. I have Amazon prime and already order in my PB2, so I have no issue with doing that for my sweetener. I just need to find something that is cost effective, super low cal, and that I can know the actual calorie count for. Any good powders/granulars out there that you recommend?

Have you tried honey as a sweetener?
If you already have protein powder, you can add it with your pb2 for extra flavor and sweetness.0 -

I use the "zero calorie" flavor drops from My Protein. They have sales sometimes. The flavor is very strong and you only need a drop or two for your yogurt or shake so they last a long time. My favorites are toffee and peanut butter.1

Thanks for the suggestions! I have been counting it at 4 cals/g. Hoping I am close!0
