I'm looking to try Fage Greek yogurt. I've tried the Dannon and Yoplait versions, but they have so much sugar!! Anyone have good ideas for how I can try plain Fage, but spruce it up? What do you add to yours to make it yummy?

    I prefer Fage to any of the other brands. I add sliced almonds or a bit of granola to mine with some local honey. mmmmm

    fage also has more protein and less carbs than the other brands.

    I know Fage is a yogurt... but it sounds like a grunge band... a grunge band that I'd totally go see! haha.

    I add agave nectar to mine, and sometimes granola or fresh fruit. Also, Fage is a GREAT substitute for fat free sour cream. I find it tastes better and is much richer than most fat free sour cream I've tried.

    Honey is really good. Blueberries and strawberries too.

    Dannon and Yoplait don't have real Greek yogurt. I don't know what they're doing to call it that, but stick with Fage and Chobani!

    Anything! This is great stuff. Fruit, honey, stevia. The texture is so smooooth! And it has so much more protein! If plain, you could compare it to really good sour cream. I also made a 'pancake' with it, with an egg white and oat bran and a little vanilla or cinnamon and stevia. Good!

    I know this doesn't answer your question, but I loovveee Chobani Greek Yogurt. My mom eats Fage though. I think she adds berries or blue agave.

    I use a little honey, mixed in with berries (blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries). If I feel like having a little crunch, I'll sprinkle some granola.

    fresh fruit and nuts or seeds. My favorite is strawberries with chopped pecans. I also like pumpkin seeds or almonds. Hemp hearts are good. All with any fresh fruit. You can pretty much have all the berries you want but weight the nuts/seeds carefully because they add up fast!

    Fage or plain Chobani are great. I like the calcium and protein content. I enjoy it with fresh fruit - strawberreis or honeydew melon. After a few days, you can get used to it plain - tangy and nice mouth feel - creamy! Very satisfying. I eat it at least 3-4 days a week. It is a staple in my fridge.

    I like to add cut fruit to mine... Such as grapes, or strawberry or blueberry... They are sweet themselves so you don't need to add any extra sugar.... :-) I love oikos greek yogurt.

    to make my greek yogurt yummy I just buy the flavor I like and save myself the headache of trying to fool around with combinations unless that's your thing. I can take some extra carbs

    I don't think we get Fage over here, but I love natural yoghurt with ON protein powder.

    i think you could literally add anything to fage and it wouldn't be bad.

    i love it with banana slices, cinnamon, a tbsp of unsweetened preserves, any seeds, berries, honey, nut butter...

    tonight i added a scoop of chocolate vegan protein powder and it got insanely thick like a pot d'creme.
