Please help. I bought a whole tub of plain greek yogurt and it tastes weird. What can I add to it to make it a little sweeter??? It's low carb and high protein. Any suggestions? Thanks
Thank you! I'll experiment with different fruits I tried as a dip with my apple slices... the apples helped. Maybe I'll try mashing blueberries and mixing it in.

That sounds delicious! I have to throw in a second voice on the tastes changing thing too--I used to hate, hate plain Greek yogurt, but the other week I put some raspberries in it and actually didn't mind it. It doesn't seem so non-sweet once your taste buds are used to good food.

I buy Cabot Plain Greek Yogurt. I add Sugar Free Powdered Flavored Coffee Creamer to mine, but also like it plain. I also use it as sour cream and sometimes add some dry spices to it to make it like dip.
I use greek yogurt both ways. Sweet and savory. I like to put honey on my GY or for you low carbers probably stick to berries and no calorie sweetener. As for savory, I buy these "Fiesta Ranch" Packets from Hidden Valley. They are a powder mix you use with sour cream...but since greek yogurt tastes nearly the same as sour cream it is perfect! I add some chipotle hot sauce too for extra spice. There's also regular ranch packets you can add if you're not into spicy. Talk about a GREAT condiment to have in your fridge! Works with sandwiches, veggies, and more!
I was having Greek yogurt daily but discovered it's
effects on my digestive tract. When I had it
everyday it was nice with fruit and/or
my protein powder. They each benefited it by
flavoring and sweetening the taste some.
With nothing yogurt might be like cottage
cheese. Yogurt is an excellent substitute for
sour cream if you like baked potatoes.
