    My absolute fave is plain chobani with a sprinkle of coconut flakes (not the sweetened ones) and some ripe mango, mabye a few chia seeds to keep me full. love coconut and mango, its sweet but not too sugary!

    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.

    LOVE SkinnyTaste!!

    finely sliced apple and cinnamon. Trust me, you will be ADDICTED in no time ;) any fruit in there makes it heaven!

    ^^^ this is by far my favourite way to eat greek yogurt, but when I want to switch it up a bit, I mix a teaspoon of strawberry jam and a few blueberries in instead. I start my day off with this at least 5 days a week. Yumm!

    With a spoon.

    :laugh: This.

    Seriously, I get plain Fage and mix in my protein shake (cookies and creame, at the moment). Surprisingly good!

    I don't do anything consistently, but one thing I do is mix it with a ridiculous amount of cinnamon and dilute with milk (cow/almond/coconut - whatever's handy) and add a tiny bit of splenda for a cinnamon smoothie.

    ETA: Oh! I also like to use it as sour cream on my low-fat hash browns.

    You just might be surprised how you get used to the taste/texture of plain greek yogurt. When I first tried it, I wanted to scrape my tongue off it was so sour! The flavored ones were pretty good though so I started eating the Chobani fruit on the bottom yogurts (just about every flavor except orange is great!) or the Chobani bites or Champions berry flavor.

    One day on a whim I decided to get the Fage side cups and the consistency of the yogurt was amazing! On another whim I decided to try the yogurt without the fruit stuff mixed in and was so surprised how much I loved it! Now I buy the big tubs of Fage plain 0% or 2% (prefer the 2% but it's sold out a lot around here for some reason) and dole out about 3/4 cup into those lovely Ziploc snack containers and add about a Tbsp of all natural strawberry preserves. YUM! It's my snack every day.

    ETA: I'll admit that I'm a bit of a greek yogurt snob. I won't buy any brand that doesn't list the active cultures on the side or that has any fillers listed in the ingredients, especially now that I only buy plain.

    Me too! Mix in a scoop of Isopure and it's awesome.

    Sometimes I'll add banana, pb, pb 2, or plain! I actually like the taste and texture for plain, fat free greek yogurt.
