What to do to make it a sweet dessert?

Add your favorite fruit. Blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, etc.

Fresh fruit, low sugar jam, or honey, I actually prefer it plain with nothing but chia seeds and avocado in it.

I add some frozen berries now and that makes it better. The first time I tried to eat it I thought it was the most disgusting thing I had ever put in my mouth lol

I love it with just berries on it. But i switch it up and put raw local honey on it, granola(yum!) or all 3 together. Its by far one of my fav things

I add fruit and if anything, maybe a touch of honey.

I like to add a tbsp of vanilla protein powder. Surprisingly yummy

Actually, it's so rich, I just like it plain. But you can drizzle it with half a teaspoon of honey and then sprinkle it with almonds or pistachios. Add half a banana or strawberries and you can layer it like a parfait.

For years - way before weight problems - I would put it on ice cream instead of whipped cream. Small amount of ice cream (1/4 cup), Greek yogurt, banana.

Today I used 1 cup frozen Dole strawberries, one cup plain non fat yogurt, with 1 scoop protein powder in a blender. Sometimes I use blueberries.

I puree cantaloupe and swirl it in...soooooo good!

Love these ideas! I had been buying the pre-fruited Greek yogurt, but want to avoid the sugar, so I bought some plain yogurt and was going to start experimenting. Now I know where to start. :-)

I buy the chobani greek yogurt, it has the fruit on the bottom; I don't really see a difference in buying plain and adding my own fruit or flavorings. Plain greek yogurt averages 6-9 g of sugar depending on the brand fruit like blueberries, strawberries and peaches average 7-10g a half cup; flavored greek yogurt averages as low as 11g and most sit around 19 grams though I saw one or two higher in the database. Unless you just plan to wave some fruit near your plain yogurt you aren't really saving on grams of sugar by adding your own fruit but you will spend 5-15 more minutes preparing your food.

One major difference is that Chobani has a ton of sugar in it. I love Chobani fruit-on-the-bottom, too, but I definitely have to watch it if I have a cup.

19grams, I'm looking at a label right now from my breakfast, assuming I bought a different brand in plain with the lowest sugar it would be 6 grams by the time I add 1/2 cup of strawberries 6 more grams I'm up to 12 GRAMS of sugar 19-12 = 7 not a big difference in my book, and I count sugar/carbs because I'm a diabetic.
