Michelle:

You MUST try greek yogurt.  It's the perfect food, IMO.  Basically, it's yogurt that has been strained - it's thick and tastes like sour cream.  You can add splenda, sf syrups, jelly, fruit, granola, etc.  I added no sugar added sour cherry pie filling to mine today and it was 2die4!  You can also add savory stuff (e.g., for dip).  It is very high in protein and low in calories and filling and it has live and active probiotic cultures.  Here are the stats for the brand I like - Voskos 0% brand, 8oz.:
Calories 140 
Protein 24g!!

Carbs 9g

There are several brands - Voskos, Fage, Oikos, and Trader Joe's has their own brand.  It's usually found in the organic cold section of a regular grocery or a health food store (e.g., Whole Foods).  I've heard that Walmart has it but I despise Walmart so I've never checked there.

Try it and let me know what you think.

 I am planning a trader joes trip for tomorrow so I will check it out! I dont do artificial sweetner or SF stuff, but I can get creative with my add ins! thanks for sharing!
