    I eat the Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Greek Yogurt (80 calories) and add fresh raspberries and sometimes Kashi.

    I found this recipe on here from someone else, sorry i don't remember who, and it was really good!

    4 chicken breast/thighs (boneless skinless)
    1c.- 1 1/2c. of Plain greek yogurt
    1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese (I use the 2% it's only 45 calories)
    1 tsp Garlic
    1/2 tsp slap ya mama (cajun season)
    1 tsp season all
    1/2 tsp pepper

    Preheat oven to 400

    In a medium sized mix bowl, mix together your yogurt, cheese, and seasonings. Once you have that all mixed together, have a casserole dish ready and coat your chicken nice and thick with the mixture. Put in oven and cook till chicken is done.

    and I have found that just making the coating and eating that without the chicken is a tasty delicious snack lol

    I add about 1 packet Splenda and a splash of vanilla extract/any extract you prefer for every 1/2 cup of plain nonfat Greek Yogurt.
    It sorta reminds me of cheesecake...

    I like it with about 6 drops of vanilla stevia for ~1/3 cup. I also like adding some frozen berries, microwaved for ~30 seconds, as well as stevia. So yummy! :)

    Everything I do has been listed many times but I saw this only listed once but it bears repeating:

    Sometimes I just get 2% or whole... oh, my gosh! SO, SO good. (I don't like whole milk, it's disgusting. I can tolerate 2% but I prefer, 1% 1/2% or non-fat. But whole or low-fat yogurt (especially Greek) is divine.) I don't say this for any nutritional reason, it's PURELY taste, which is a reason I added the thing about the milk.

    If all else fails try different brands. They don't all taste the same and their textures are different. Just remember to check the ingredients, not all are just milk and/or cream with live and active cultures. So, that too can make a difference.

    My new fav way of having it, is to add 1/4 tsp sugar, sprinkle cinnamon, and blueberries to the yogurt, it's delicious :)

    I make a turkey burger stroganoff - fry up turkey burger, add sliced onions, other stuff like mushrooms and bell peppers if wanted, drain fat, add fat free yogurt instead of sour cream, add a 1/4 tsp of nutmeg. Serve over quinoa. I also add frozen chopped spinach to green it up sometimes.

    I like to add sugar free jam preserves to flavor my yogurt, may add low sugar granola or Kashi Go Lean also.

    What I like to do is mash up a ripe banana and then mix it into the yogurt.. That way you have a natural, low calorie and nutritious flavored yogurt! :)

    However if I'm out of bananas, I slice up an apple and dip apples into the yogurt.
    Berries and muesli are also great!
