    I love regular yogurt as well, I made oatmeal with bananas and yogurt this morning. Yummy!! I can even get my 2 1/2 yr old son to eat it too. I am recently back on my fitness pal after having my second baby. I lost 40 lbs using it before so I know this works. Can't wait to get a few lbs off. Only 20 to go!!

    A previous poster mentioned Tru Lemon which I like. I recently tried Tru Lime and it's great too. Just add a little of your favorite sweetener and it's like Key Lime pie! I usually add some type of berry and a teaspoon of almond slivers since my Greek yogurt is the non-fat variety.

    Fage 2% is awesome! I make it a lot of different ways. Sometimes I will just add a packet of Truvia in it. Sometimes I put blueberries. When I want something really sweet I'll mix in a teaspoon of sugar free lemon or cheesecake pudding mix, it tastes like pudding! So delicious!

    The possibilities are endless. I use chopped fruits either bananas, apples, berries, cereals, nuts, peanut butter (pb2), sugar free pudding mixes favorites are cheesecake and pistachio, protein powders, Salt black pepper spread over a baked potato or dip veggies into. I also mix some Sriracha in their and top my steaks with it doesn't sound nice but its delicious!

    I put it in most things sour cream or mayo used to be in and just season it accordingly. I also add some to my oatmeal, and of course add raw honey to it.

    A few slices of banana, 2-3 sliced strawberries and some non-salted sunflower seeds for a bit of crunch: delish!

    I use it like sour cream or to make a "creamed" spinach (yum).

    When I have it for breakfast, I mix in some honey, raw nuts, and whatever fruit I have around (berries, or even prunes).

    A packet of Splenda and a splash of vanilla makes Fage 2% like frosting to me. Num.

    Either mix it with fruit, blend it with fruit and make a smoothing (1c yogurt, 1c fruit, Ice, 1/4c orange juice) or put a little honey on top.

    I eat nonfat plain greek yogurt almost every day for breakfast with sliced banana, ground flax seed and walnuts. The banana sweetens it naturally, not to mention the nutrient benefits of banana's plus the flax and walnuts. Super yummy, super nutritious!!!

    I also put a small amount in my smoothies (banana's, strawberries and orange juice)
