What's your favorite no-sugar-added active culture yogurt?

Dannon Light & Fit has a bitter taste to it, although that might be just the one flavor I've tried so far. (I also seem to taste bitterness unusually strongly. I can't put broccoli stems in my mouth, and there's no way I'll ever like coffee.) But just about everything else in my local supermarket has so much sugar in it that I might as well eat a candy bar.

Recommendations?

[edit: Wow, you guys are great! I've got a big pile of good ideas already!]

The variations in human smell and taste are a lot higher than those in, say, vision; there are plenty of resources for design to deal with colorblindness, but very few cookbooks that acknowledge that some people have a radically different experience of some flavors. Grapefruit is very bitter to me, cantaloupe a mix of sour and bitter, and I can’t even be in the room with cooking broccoli or cauliflower. I keep an eye on molecular gastronomy blogs, but none of them have done serious research into this area.

I've never been able to bring myself to eat grapefruit. (Lemon, on the other hand, is fine; I adore sour.) And like you, I don't like cantaloupe (though I can eat it) or cauliflower, either.

I'm doomed to eat unhealthy junk food ;-)
