Plain greek yogurt recipe please

I have one individual Fage Greek yogurt and I need some ideas to make it taste good. I have tried many of the ideas I've seen on here and I must not be doing it right. If you have an exact recipe that would help me since I apparently don't know what "a little pudding mix" or "a splash of sugar free syrup" means thanks!
For a 6 ounce container of Chobani I add 1 packet of Truvia and a tablespoon of Torani SF French Vanilla syrup.  It gives me a good base for whatever else I am adding-i.e. fruit (at this time of year I use 1 cup of unsweetened, frozen strawberries, peaches or blueberries and cook it down with a packet of Truvia to concentrate the flavor and increase the sweetness. 
        
      
Here's a recipe using things you may already have in your fridge.

Put 1 tbsp lowfat cream cheese in a bowl and nuke for about 20 seconds or until soft and bubbly.

Add some splenda (start with two teaspoons and work your way up if the final result is not sweet enough) and a squirt of lemon juice and mix.

Then add your greek yogurt and stir really, really, REALLY well.

Top with fresh fruit.

It's essentially cheesecake without eggs. Low-carb, low-fat and delicious!
Oh I'm gonna try that for desert tonight!  I have some cream cheese in the fridge that I need to use and this is PERFECT!!!

I like mine BEFORE surgery but will have to wait a week to have it again is splenda and raw oats , I made it almost cookie dough consistency also like adding some cottage cheese to that mix.
I also like  milking down re fried beans and salsa blended ( to thick soup) adding Fage yogurt ( taste like sour cream) and a pinch of REAL cheese ( haven't had that  for months before surgery !!! )

jello sugar free cheesecake mix yummy or lipton onion soup mix with slice cucumber to dip. i even make my own salad dressing with fage usung ranch mix in blender with fage pour in squeeze botthe... great on meats, salads etc
    
    
The lipton soup is a good one.

I started using the recipe I posted above when I realized the pudding mix is more calories and carbs than just using a tbsp of lowfat cream cheese.

What should you eat for dinner tonight? How do you make a good protein shake? And just exactly what IS quinoa? The answers to all this and more can be found at Bariatric Foodie!

Thanks for the ideas! Nik I tried yours first and I love it! Absolutely delicious! I could eat this everyday :)

I mix a packet of Splenda, a teaspoon of sour cream and a tablespoon of sf pudding mix and half a scoop of unflavored whey isolate protein and mix well and top with sf Cool Whip.  I have this as a snack almost every day.

Why the sour cream? For texture?
You know, I was thinking the same thing last night when I made it.  I guess I added it because my favorite cheesecake recipe has sour cream in it but the Greek yogurt tastes so similar to the sour cream that I guess I could leave it out and not miss it.

 A recipe I really like using greek yogurt, any yogurt works, is making a smoothie with the following:

I also use a majic bullet appliance to puree anything or blend up - 

1/4 **** / crushed if possilbe
1 6oz. yogurt (greek)
1/4 frozen berries of your choice
1/4 oj or 2 tsp frozen concentrate
fill cup with non-fat milk or dairy free milk if needed

I use the glasses that come with the majic bullet, I believe they are 16oz.  I drink the smoothie within about one hour.  It comes out thick at first, so it's like a frozen dessert, and then as time goes by, it becomes more like liquid.  It's so yummy!!!!!
