I have had plain yogurt that I sweeten myself with Splenda and added some fresh fruit like grapes, pineapple, or canned peaches in light syrup or packed in juice. I have added an extra Spenda packet to the light yogurt also to make it taste less sour. I have also had hummus with pita chips. I think I would like to try to pudding with banana slices next time.

I have allways hated the sour taste of yogurt, but recently I finally found a yogurt I can eat without gagging--Kroger-brand Carb Master. If I eat it with some extra fruit it's pretty good. Kroger is a large midwest grocery chain based in Cincinnati. Most of these suggestions already I do eat and enjoy.
