    I like to add fresh or frozen berries of all kinds, a sprinkling of nuts and some honey or agave syrup. Yummy. Also use it to sub for sour cream and to "beef up" smoothies.

    Honey.
    Or
    Maple syrup is even more nutrition rich than honey. Its almost a complete food, like bananas. Grade B is the kind you want to buy, not Grade A because in this case, Grade B is more nutrient rich and less processed.
    Dry fruit is always good, try a mixture. Don't buy the salted or sugary kind. Buy plain. And dates are really good for you too.
    Fruit..any of your favorites! But bananas are a great option because that way you're getting a mixed kick of potassium and calcium which are a killer combination for fighting fat and boosting immunity.
    Berries will give you a vitimin C boost.

    (Fun fact- strawberries aren't really berries but bananas are)
    - however, add them to your yogurt. Fiber rich and delicious!

    Pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Yummm. Or, for savory yogurt: lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and lots of dill. Plus grated cucumbers if I have them on hand.

    I make tzatziki sauce and eat it wish anything that I would otherwise eat sour creme with. On top of potatoes, grilled meats etc...
    It's simple: Greek yoghurt, minced cucumbers, dill, garlic, salt and pepper.
    I love greek yoghurt in fruit smoothies, too! Fruit, stevia, Greek yoghurt and almond milk.

    Huh??????????????????? Maple syrup is sucrose (minimum 66% sugar to be called maple syrup) and water with small amounts of fructose and glucose. How is that a complete food?

    I add a little honey and some sriracha sauce to plain strained/greek yogurt, and use it to dip veggies or spread onto a sandwich. Very tasty and fun use for yogurt.

    Yum! Must try this one

    Fresh or frozen fruit (change it up every time) plus my homemade granola. No additional sweetener needed.

    For dips or dressing, I add lemon juice and whatever herbs and spices I feel like. Sometimes add a dash or two of tabasco.

    Oats/granola. Never considered cinnamon, thanks!

    I don't. The mere idea of flavoring it is weird and unappealing to me. I grew up with it being a tart plain sandwich spread or dip, sometimes with a drizzle of olive oil but that's it.
