Chop up half a Gala apple into plain Greek yogurt with just a touch of Splenda! SO good and SO much better for you than that handfull of reeses your coworker keeps at her desk!

    I did that last night with strawberries and blueberries. I added a little cinnamon and no sweetener. :)

    O, that sounds tasty!

    Have either of you ladies tried just a little vanilla extract?

    I usually add about 1/8 tsp extract. Some days it's vanilla, some it's almond, and today it was lemon. The lemon goes very well with blueberries.

    OMG apples + greek yogurt is amazing! The sweetness of the apple offsets the sourness of the yogurt :)

    I like my greek yogurt with pumpkin puree and a touch of a agave nectar or honey. You could add cinnamon too if you were not allergic to it like me. :(

    why?

    Because that way I am eating only yogurt and exactly whatever else I add to it -- no added sugar, gums, corn starch, etc.

    Not that those things are the worst things you can eat, but I have enough sugar in my life :P

    My newest Greek yogurt cave is 1/2 c plain yogurt, 1T peanut butter, 1/2T chia seeds, 1 packet stevia. Mix all together. Shovel in big heaping bites with celery sticks. Delicious & lots of protein!

    I LOVE a cup of greek yogurt with 1 T of apple butter + cinnamon. I also put in pumpkin butter + nutmeg, or sometimes for a more bulky dessert treat, sliced bananas, drizzle of honey, sprinkle of ginger, and four or five mini chocolate chips.

    Have you ever tried a slather of greek yogurt mixed with honey between two small squares of low-fat graham crackers? Delish, and low cal! Though the graham crackers are the one processed food I'm trying to cut out, because they're so addictive...
