at my nut's suggestion, i've been eating the already flavored greek yogurts from chobani/oikos but looking at my daily calorie intake, i'm starting to feel like it's not even worth it because they range from 130-160 calories which isn't TOO bad but i need some lower calorie options!

which brings me to my question: what do you mix with your plain greek yogurt?

i've tried mixing crystal light in it and it doesn't taste too bad but i'm not a huge fan of it. i usually eat my greek yogurt with a bit of fiber one as a pre-gym snack so i need ideas that would make it taste good as a stand alone snack!

I get FAGE and mix splenda and frozen/thawed mixed berriees. It's my new addiction... I loooove it.

i think i read something about this before! do you just toss it in frozen and let it thaw out in the fridge or do you toss it in and just eat it right away?

I actually nuke the frozen berries so they are defrosted, (a little frozen still) addd the splenda, mix in the yoghurt and nosh away...today I added a spoonful of ground flax meal too, and that was a yummy fiber-filled addition.

You can also use SF fruit preserves, and slenda to taste.  Also, you can try adding SF syrups to your plain greek yogurt.

I haven't tried the syrups yet myself.

yeah, i've found i'm not a big fan of the sf fruit preserves but i should probably try to find some sf syrups and see how those taste!

Sweet:  SF Torani or Davinci syrups,  SF instant pudding mix,  fresh fruit,  NSA cherry pie filling.
Savory:  Hidden Valley Ranch powder and use it for veggie dip.

 Rather than doing the Greek Yogurt why not try Kroger's Carb Master, that is if you have a Kroger store close by.  They have 8 g protein, most have 1.5 g fat, 4 carbs and 60-80 calories per six oz.  They make them in several flavors, peach, blackberry, cherry, strawberry bananna, spieced pear, tropical, raspberry, and carrott cake that is what I can think of off the top of my head.
