Greek style yogurt. . flavoring?

I often buy the greek style yogurts like Fage and Oikos. But I can't have the fruit or sugar yet. Any ideas of what I can flavor it with? I have been using crystal light but I usually need a lot of it and I don't like things with artificial colors. It tastes like sour cream with nothing added. Just wondering if any one out there has a trick. . .

What about vanilla or almond extract? Or mixing in a little bit of a sugar free syrup, like Torani?

You could also try some cinamon and splenda. So it doesn't make it bitter.

I love honey oikos! OMG! I have not tried the plain, but I would imagine that both of the above suggestions sound awesome. I would however stay away from the extracts....some have a lot of alcohol/sugar. Torani syrup rocks though, and it does come in sugar free raspberry as well...YUM!

lemon juice, 1/2 pk. splenda to 1/2 c. yogurt. makes 2 high protein snacks or meals and I pretend it's chocolate cheesecake.

I add no-sugar added peaches from the little single-serving containers. They are extremely soft and have no rinds. If you are concerned about them, mash them. Half a little container and some Splenda and YUM!

Definitely get yourself a few Sugar Free Torani Syrups. They are great in lots of thing including Greek Yogurt:

I love to add sugar free jello cheesecake pudding mix. Tastes JUST like cheese cake. Some people top with fruit, but I'm still a little scared of fruit.
