Greek Yogurt lovers - (plain) How to sweeten it

Mix in your ingredients a day or two before you eat it. I do this with fruit all the time. Makes a HUGE difference!
I eat Fage because it has no sweetener(s) added, Chobani does.
I'll say it again:

Save your empty Fage containers, they work great to portion it out. Typically, I'll do 1/2 cup Fage and 1 cup fruit. I mix in advance and save in the fridge. I do 4-8 containers/servings on Monday and I'm set for the week.0 -

I ONLY like the plain Fage kind.
I take 1 cup yogurt, 2 cups frozen strawberries, and 1 scoop of my vanilla protein powder and blend it all together and it turns into strawberry ice cream. I will either take that whole thing to work and have half for breakfast and then the second half around 1 as a pre-workout snack. the whole thing is only 360 cals and so yummy!0 -
I have been adding the little powder drink mix pouches right to the yogurt, Man what a great flavor, Lemonade is my favorite and only adds 10 calories.0

I found that once I started eliminating processed foods my taste buds changed. Greek yogurt can be a little tart. Non bitter stevia is a good choice, agave is good and my stand by is real maple syrup. I love blueberries and yogurt. It's like candy to me. I just have it plain now. Enjoy the journey.0

Stevia is NOT an artificial sweetener. Stevia is an all natural sweetener made from the leaf of the stevia plant. Buy Stevia in the Raw, or SweetLeaf Brands, and not Truvia, as it has chemicals in it used in processing.0

I use plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream in dips!!0

I buy plain chobani and just put fruit in it and sometimes a teeny tiny bit of truvia or honey.
I laugh at the people that think there eating healthy when there eating the flavored greek yogurt..It's sugary as hell and there is added sugar in the little cups of flavored yogurt mixed in with the fruit at the bottom..0 -
I eat greek yogurt every day. I buy the plain stuff, eat it 1 cup at a time and flavor it with about 50g of some kind of berry (been on a raspberry and blackberry kick lately) or 1g of cinnamon, then sweeten either topping with 10g honey. Comes out pretty dang tasty, if you ask me.0

I always buy plain yogurt and sweeten it myself. I've used honey, stevia, Truvia, and if you want to make it taste like vanilla yogurt, just add a hint of pure vanilla extract. Much better and healthier than buying yogurt sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners. Adding granola on top is also a good way to add a little extra sweetness.0

I actually tried to add in vanilla extract and it didn't do much for me.0 -
I use Greek yogurt in place of mayo, Miracle Whip, cream cheese, or sour cream. It works great!!
When I eat is for itself, I sweeten with Splenda or fruit only preserves. My lunch trick is to pack the yogurt with still frozen fruit; it will thaw by the afternoon. My favorite is a sprinkle of ginger with frozen mango chunks.0 -
I use stevia -- the best and only brand I like is SWEET LEAF. You can buy it on Amazon if you cannot find it in your area. Whole Foods usually carries it.0

i stir jam into it. it's high in sugar, but i buy natural jams that have very few ingredients so i know it's not too processed.0

If you keep eating it the yogurt will eventually taste sweet. Once you go back to sugary yogurts you're going to think they're gross and wayy to sweet. Keep trying at it with the greek yogurt. Your tastebuds are in shock from eating so much sugar in your typical yogurt (30g of sugar vs 9g) but it will pass if you keep eating it.0

A little hesitant to use protein powder only because I don't really know which brand/flavor or anything to buy.
You can get samples directly from their website for $2 each and have them in a week.0
