How do you sweeten your Greek yogurt?

Vanilla protein powder and raspberries or blackberries; chocolate protein powder or Hershey's cocoa powder and mashed banana; or my personal favorite recipe is chocolate protein powder, Hershey's cocoa powder, peanut butter, and mashed banana.....super yummy!0

I use no-calorie stevia from whole foods (vanilla flavored) and then add in some cinnamon and fresh fruit. My go-to breakfast! I also mix in some peanut flour if I need an added boost.0

I like the way greek yogurt taste so I actually don't sweeten it at all. Ocasionally I will throw fresh strawberries or grapes to change it up but that's it really.0

I make the absolute best breakfast with Greek yogurt on days where I know I'm going to need a lot of protein first thing (like on my long run days). I put some Greek yogurt in a bowl, add a small spoonful of peanut butter, about 1/2 cup of granola, and then add some sort of fruit (usually 1/2 of a banana). It tastes sooo good and it really really fills you up and keeps you full all morning.0

I mix chia seeds for crunch and protein powers.0

I buy the flavored kind. I just can't be that obsessive with yogurt.0

i use greek yogurt in place of sour cream...so i eat a lot of chicken with greek yogurt and peppers and put it on a low carb tortilla.
for a while i sweetened it by using protein powder.
This is exactly what I do! Plain No Fat Greek Yogurt is my sour cream and for parfaits I drizzle half a tablespoon of honey and then fresh fruit and granola!
It just takes getting used to, if not, opt for Vanilla or any other flavour0 -
canned pumpkin and cinnamon
fresh raspberries or blueberries
homemade granola
protein powder-flavor of your choice but I like chocolate or vanilla
cacao powder
a little peanut butter
sugar free jam0 -
unsweetend cocoa!0

Honey isn't bad. One tablespoon is just enough for a single serving. The ultimate greek yogurt (for me) is fage greek yogurt, a tablespoon of honey and a few sprinkles of cinnamon. You could also add in peanut butter, but that'll drive up the calories.
I tried just doing berries and yogurt and it was too sour tasting for me. I tried adding in vanilla and still...no. Honey is the way to go.
Edit: Should also note, I can't stand the honey/vanilla flavored greek yogurt. It's just gross to me. I'd rather do it myself. To each it's own. Experiment!0 -
I've given up trying to like it as a snack, I sub it for mayo on sandwiches, and in tuna salad ect... It's enjoyable that way.0

I use Crystal lite drink mix or Sugar free coffee syrups.0

Take about 6 oz. plain Greek Yogurt. Add thinly sliced strawberries or blueberries. Sprinkle one packet of Splenda unformly over the yogurt, then mix and crush the fruit up to release the flavors into the yogurt.
It will not be too sweet, like it would be if you added some sugar. This method merely reduces some of the tartness. If you want the sweet type, then get it with the fruit added from the manufacturer - but realize they sweeten it with HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) which, come to think of it, has a lot to do with why fitness sites like this one are flourishing.......
Good Luck,

Sugar is sugar is sugar. Honey is fine if you like it, but it is essentially just sugar (plus trace, insignificant amounts of other nutrients). Same for agave; it's fine if you like the taste, but is no better than adding sugar (maybe worse since it is high fructose if you care about that). If you want no calories, you have to use an artificial sweetener. If you are afraid of them, then just use sugar, honey or whatever. It will still be healthy. Personally, I only eat flavored yogurt (Greek or regular); it still is low in calories and I have no desire to eat things that don't taste good if I don't have to.0
