    I have 4oz greek yogurt, 1 tsp sugar, and 60 g frozen blueberries. Stir up & the yogurt gets kinda thick, almost like ice cream. Don't want the artificial sweetners & figure 15 cal for the sugar is doable.

    I just heard that you can use greek yogurt to replace oil in cake recipes (probably other recipes too...)

    My absolute favorite way is to add 1tbsp sugar free chocolate pudding and 4tbsp light or sugar free cool whip to 1/2cup greek yogurt. It's super delicious and like a dessert. Sometimes I'll use sugar free butterscotch but when I use that I also add in 1tbsp peanut butter. Peanut butter with the chocolate is good too :smile:

    It's not bad for protein drinks either. You'll have to find the right balance of splenda or stevia though and the amount of water you use depends on how thin you want it. For shakes I love it with pumpkin, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice......super good!!

    A balsamic vinegar reduction and berries. (Reduce balsamic vinegar over heat until viscous. Cool. Add to yogurt.)

    WW Jell-O packet and a quarter of a block of crushed Green&Blacks 85%.

    Freeze it for a couple of hours and it's like ice cream. ^.^

    Warm apples and cinnamon and then a cup of plain greek yogurt (that I keep in the freezer) as "ice cream".
    Or you can just use the yogurt to replace any thing you'd use as icecream before.
    Also, it works great in place of mayonnaise too!

    warm apples & cinnamon sounds good. I'll have to try it as for me it is usuallywith honey, pumpkin & sunflower seeds.

    Raspberries and roasted sunflower seeds, sounds awful but it is really nice.

    I microwave some frozen berries till they're thawed, mix that in, add chia seeds or muesli & honey (occasionally a little bit of sugar).

    Grilled plums (sounds wierd but they are gorgeous and taste really sweet), flaxseed oil, cinamon and protein powder. Or just the grilled plums.

    I'm so glad someone posted this up... I just tried to have plain Greek yogurt with mixed fresh fruit in there I had kiwi and it spoiled it all for me... :( and because I couldn't stand the sourness I had to wash off the yogurt...

    These tips are great though so I'll be trying them :)
