How do you spice up your plain greek yogurt?

I think most of us can agree that plain greek yogurt taste like crap. I add brown sugar, walnut chips, flax seed, wheat germ, and this week I added peanut butter chips. Sometimes I add butterscotch chips or white chocolate chips.

    I usually eat it plain, or with a splash of honey. Today I added a little bit of strawberry preserves. That was omfgamazing - but not something I'll do every day. =P

    I love it plain or with some fresh raspberries or strawberries. Sometimes, when I have oatmeal, I top it off with a few spoonfuls of Greek yogurt. It also works well in smoothies.

    I sometimes add a bit of honey and have recently been topping it with granola.

    I've heard of adding dry ranch dip mix and using greek yogurt instead of sour cream for veggie trays. Haven't tried it yet, but thought I would share.

    Greek yogurt needs something to sweeten it. Typically, I use fruit for that or honey.

    I eat it plain as a substitute for sour cream on a lean taco or a baked potato.

    I add in sugar free Polaner All Fruit with Fiber. It's basically mushed up strawberries with fiber and natural sweetener added. 20 cal/ 3 grams of fiber per tablespoon!!! Wayyy better than the 17g of sugar the flavored varieties have in them!

    I love plain yogurt just like that. For me it tastes great ;-)

    But I sometimes cut an apple or a banana in pieces and pour it over the fruit, add cinnamon and a dash of vanilla if I feel like it. Sometimes I only take a teaspoon of any kind of jam and -- yum :-)

    Freeze it, add half of a sugar-free jello packet and truvia, if you want, and add some /real/ granola (I use Chappaqua Crunch - Simply Granola). It's amazing.

    I like it plain just fine, but cut some strawberries up and leave them on top overnight. They'll juice, then in the morning you can swirl them in so that you have swirls of strawberry yogurt and strawberries in your plain yogurt. Put some granola on top. Yumtastic. And if you add a few more strawberries after every time you snack (I buy the big container and just eat it straight out of there), they'll keep juicing, and you keep swirling, and it just gets berry-er and berry-er until you have the most fantastic strawberry yogurt ever.

    I'm agreeing with everyone. Honey, granola, fresh fruit, Jam, raisins, dried cranberries, cinnamon. Did not think of the sugar free jello though. Good one to try.
