    I buy plain yogourt since i started this journey and i add a pack of stevia in it. To mix things up a bit i add all-bran buds in it, fruits, homemade granola, sometimes nuts.

    Ugh yes I've never been a fan of yogurt. I've tried greek yogurt so many times in so many ways but I can't seem to get over the texture or smell.

    Me too. Though I'll eat just about any yogurt, I just can't do the Greek yogurt.

    I love plain yogurt - plain. It is also great on burritos, in sauces, as a substitute for sour cream, blended with fruit, kale, protein powder. The uses are endless.

    On the other hand, I can't stand yogurt with pre-mixed with fruit. Bleech.

    Which greek yogurt are you eating?
    I switched to the Dannon Oikos and it's better 'tasting' (smooth) than Chobani. Fage is good also.

    but then again, I dont eat the plain. If i did, i'd have to add fresh fruit, honey and/or and nuts to it.

    Why non-fat?

    I get the 2% Oikos .. the Lime on the bottom is SO frickin good. The fat free stuff tastes like regular yogurt, and I won't pay that much for watery Greek yogurt, when I can get a 12 pack of Danon for the same price... I love my thick, creamy Oikos!

    Oikos is really good too for the creaminess! Calories aren't bad and proteins are great!

    I always buy Liberté or Oikos. The Liberté Mediterranean one, coconut flavour is to die for.... But I have it occasionally since like many others its packed with sugar,..:grumble:

    I add sugar free pudding mix or jello mix to mine. It's quite delicious!

    If the Queen is visiting, then I use a knife and fork.

    Otherwise:

    I saw an awesome looking recipe on Bodybuilding.com yesterday

    Cut a banana in half, put greek yogurt on top, add some sliced strawberries and blueberries, 1 tablespoon of granola, and 1 table spoon of dark chocolate chips.

    Looks yummmyyy and easy, I found it here (it also had 6 other breakfast recipes.)

    I either do fresh strawberries or blueberries with cinnamon and a tiny bit of honey.

    Also, if your trying to avoid all the sugary greek yogurts, get plain greek yogurt and throw some crystal light (made with truvia) in there. It will taste like key lime pie.

    Edit: One more! Plain greek yogurt with a tablespoon of cool whip. (it changes the whole texture of it) Add fruit and walnuts- super yummy!

    I eat low carb yogurt and add almonds to it. Pretty delicious. But I have to go easy on the almonds cause too many of them stall my weight loss

    I actually use greek yogurt, nonfat plain, like you mentioned, in EVERYTHING because it is a good source of hidden protein, and when you mix it with fun, flavored food, it camouflages the texture. I make chicken salad, ranch dip, onion dip, macaroni salad, sandwiches, baked goods, anything with sour cream basically substitute the yogurt. Skinnytaste.com has a lot of recipes that use Greek yogurt.

    I mash up fresh berries and then mix in the yogurt. The berry juices make it less thick and it gets sweet from the fruit too! :)

    Have you tried the vanilla instead of the plain? The stats are extremely similar and the taste difference is huge. Just a thought. :)
