Hi Mom! I can get agave nectar here at Costco. It comes in a two bottle pack and it kind of looks like maple syrup, but it does not have the flavor of maple syrup. It just tastes like a sugar syrup. It pretty much has the same calories as sugar, but is low glycemic so it doesn't spike your blood sugar or make you crave more sugar. I use it in my tea, coffee, on oatmeal, mixed w/yogurt, in smoothies, etc.

The Fage is good because it has 20 grams of protein per 8 oz serving. My Costco also sells Fage in a big carton. I use it as a substitute for sour cream... no fat, adds some protein, and it really tastes very much like sour cream if you put it in a soup, dip, chili, fajitas, on a potato, etc.

I just got my first fill on Wednesday and am doing good.
