    I know this stuff is so much better for you than regular yogurt but the taste just kills me. I bought plain Greek yogurt yesterday for making smoothies, cooking, more for my husband than me, but I could barely take the smell let alone drink the smoothie, which I blended a half cup with vanilla extract, raspberries, skim milk, ice and eventually equal because it just was so tart. Any suggestions on how to make this stuff more palatable?

    When I buy plain, I find the only use for it is as a sour cream replacement or in various savory applications. I can't stand the plain stuff in sweet things. I buy the sweetened kind for breakfast...

    Same here, I use plain greek yogurt only where I would have used sour cream (because that's almost exactly what it tastes like to me). I enjoy the Dannon Triple Zero greek yogurt, eat that stuff every day.

    I love Greek Yogurt so I sneak it in whenever I can. Really, it's only superiority over regular yogurt is a slightly higher protein because some of the liquid has been removed by straining. If you like a regular yogurt, maybe see if you like it strained through cheesecloth overnight.

    Different brands have a different taste and texture. Experiment. The first time I had a full-fat organic yogurt, lemon flavoured, I was transported. I had no idea yogurt could be so creamy and good.

    Also try the vanilla flavoured, if sweet is your thing.

    Liberte Vanilla Greek Yogurt is delicious!!!!

    If you can get your hands on it, try Skyer. Its like Greek yogurt on steroids. :)

    I make full fat skyr at home, with a 24 hour fermentation to get rid of the lactose, which is like skyr on steroids.

    And see, I love the tartness of plain Greek yogurt. I put fresh fruit on/in it, and *maybe* a small drizzle of honey but usually not, and that's enough to make it sweet for me.
    Then again, I'm of close Greek descent. So maybe I'm genetically predisposed? ;)

    The only "real magic" of greek yogurt is its thicker and has more protein. Try a regular full fat yogurt, you may like it better.

    Mix it with half a scoop of protein powder and a packet or two of sweetener. SO good

    Tart means not fresh. Not unsafe for consumption, but not fresh. The closer to production date, the less tart.
