The problem with flavored yogurt is the sugar content. I eat Yoplait and it is suppose to be made with Aspartame (& other sweetner) according to the label, BUT it also has corn syrup if you read the ingredients.
If anybody thing that plain yogurt has a tart taste there is a trick I was told by a chef. For 1 cup of plain yogurt add 1 tabl. of non fat dry powdered milk. It will cut the tart taste. I also have found that 1/4 tsp. of vanilla and Splenda makes great Vanilla yogurt. I have read where others are adding fruit but letting it rest overnight so the flavors develop. What about Crystal Light for Lemon, maybe some Kool Aid s/f of course for other flavors.

I like to add coconut and almond flavoring to my FF plain yogurt with splenda...It is wonderful! Then you can add any fruit or top with a crunchy cereal.
OK - I experimented this weekend and added some sf lime jello to some ff plain yogurt - it was great!!! I didn't measure, just poured a little in and mixed. You need to leave it a few minutes so the jello dissolves or it will be a bit grainy, but it was good!!!! It didn't take much.
You can also make SF Jello and use 8 oz of yogurt in place of the cold water. It makes a yummy dessert. Add in some flavor appropriate fruit for an added treat. I've also used applesauce in place of the cold water, and that's good too.
