    This topic came up before and the idea of putting in Duncan Hines flavour creations seemed to be a hit. Duncan Hines flavour creations are 10 calories a pack, sugar free and come in a variety of flavours. You would have to add sweetner in your yogurt due to these being sugar free because they were made to put in already sweet cans of icing.

    I add in 1 tablespoon of superfruit jam (8g carbs) along with a drop or two of stevia, and some vanilla extract. It's still a lot lower on carbs/sugar than the pre-sweetened stuff.

    I tsp of hershey's cocoa powder. I usually add Stevia to it tp sweeten it. Tastes like chocolate pudding. :D Depends on whether you consider that an artificial sweetener though.

    Also, is no one reading the OP? So many responses say "Honey" it's ridiculous.

    1 cup Greek yogurt
    splash of vanilla extract
    1 tsp cinnamon
    I use 1 tsp of brown sugar, but you could certainly use a pinch of regular
    sometimes I add fruit, sometimes I don't

    That sounds tasty!

    Hello. Ever since I started MyFitnessPal, which was a few weeks ago, I have started changing the way I eat. I used to think plain greek yogurt was disgusting since it has barely any sugar in it. Now I love it. I recommend the Chobani or Dannon Oikos brand. Anyways in answer to your question, I always put fruit in it. Blueberries, raspberries, pineapple, chopped banana, or strawberries are my absolute favorite. Hope this helps.

    Feel free to message me or add me as a friend. Happy New Year!

    For breakfast I layer fruit, oats and a little maple syrup on it.... o and some cinnamon.. sometimes some nuts like pecans too

    for dessert I mix in some cocoa powder and dark chocolate... sometimes peanut butter...

    real sugar is ok if you don't like Stevia. Once teaspoon only has like 15 calories and would be plenty to sweeten up a serving. Prolly only need half that.

    Stevia, which is a natural sweetener, in my opinion tastes good in plain greek yogurt. That is saying a lot because stevia doesn't taste that great at all or in anything else. Cinnamon, fruit, or granola could work.
  • Stevia! Its a natural sweetner that tastes and looks pretty much exactly like sugar, but for zero calories. You can even use it for baking! Kind of costy though... But worth it. :)
