Ideas to flavor plain Greek yogurt

[sleever10 109]

I currently use sugar-free pudding and want to try unsweetened cocoa powder and stevia drops, but can't think of anything else! I see some use Torani, too. Anybody have other ideas?

I put powdered Peanut Butter in mine and vanilla extract

Not sure if it is just in the beginning or what but my Doc told me to avoid Greek yogurt. I wonder why

Add Mio, whatever flavor you like, to plain yogurt, it's tasty!

Hmm... that is odd. It was on my list of foods from week 3 on.

Thanks Lifetime and Rare - never would have thought of those ideas!

I bought some unflavored Greek yogurt to use in making chicken salad or tuna salad, in place of mayo, but haven't tried it yet. Greek yogurt has twice the Protein of other yogurts but its hard to find ones that ate low in carbs. the best I've had is the Oikos Caramel Greek Yogurt. it has 10g protein, 17g carbs and 0 fat and 110 calories.

The Kirkland brand at costco has 10g of carbs for 8 oz., 24g of protein, and the price is very reasonable compared to others. It's less than $7 for two 32 oz. containers!

I did read somewhere that people add kool aid to it to flavor it. Without the sugar I am assuming.

I bet that's tasty, though I'd like to avoid sugar.

You can use some SF jam (or even non-SF for the small amounts used) to flavor the plain greek yogurt.

I typically make a blend of plain yogurt, naturally sweetened vanilla yogurt (about a 3-1 ratio now), vanilla extract and a little SF sweetener to taste - small calorie increase over plain yogurt without the aftertaste problems of the SF sweeteners (particularly in the commercial SF flavored yogurts that go for overkill in the sweetness department.)

You used to be able to buy the kool aid powder and had to add the sugar so you may be able to get the flavor packets without the sugar and use them to flavor the yogurt.

I know this sounds crazy, but I've used nectar Protein powder to flavor Greek yogurt.

Or honey.

Whoops! This was supposed to quote the PB2 suggestion. Yes, there is definitely sugar-free Kool-Aid mix; I'll check it out - thanks!
