I actually like all kinds of yogurt, but some is pretty sour. The sweetened fruit stuff can taste like a dessert, but it's got a lot of sugar. The plain stuff I use like sour cream or mix in fruit or jam, I've even mixed in powdered peanut butter.

Oh my gosh, it's disgusting! It's so insanely bitter. I thought it would have more of a cottage cheese taste. HOW do you get passed the bitterness?!?

What type of yogurt? I enjoyed this since I was a child, and back then there were no flavored ones. Mine are never bitter, and I can easily eat it alone, or sometimes I'd mix it with my breakfast cereal.

I think she's confusing bitter with tartness. Plain yogurt is definitely Tart.

I eat plain yogurt all the time, and it's never been bitter. Sour or tangy maybe, but if it's bitter then something has gone badly wrong.

Tart is definitely a better description, it's plain Oikyos. I added 1/2 serving of chocolate whey powder, 1 tbsp of dark chocolate shavings, and about 1/2 a banana. I'm just hoping it's something I can get used to because it's a great healthy/filling breakfast.

yeah, yogurt is tangy. i've been making my own since xmas and it doesn't have to be like that . . . some of mine has been downright whats-the-point, it was so mild. but i i've gotten to where i like the sharpness.

even so, i'd never make smoothies of it without a sweetened whey powder. takes a while to find the right balance for your own mouth, so if you're really determined to keep your mind open, you could play with the quantities. i think i started out using the yogurt to drown the 'awful' taste of the whey, and then things kind of evolved and developed from there.

I gave it another try today (had bought the 4 serving tub of it and pre-mixed all 4 servings on day one with the whey and dark chocolate), after all the flavors had a chance to meld with each other, it's not too shabby. Definitely something I can keep eating. Now I just have to remember to pre-mix everything a day or two before eating it

I can't get into yogurt as a sweet thing, only as a savoury. The exception being a lemon cheesecake flavoured yogurt I used to get when yogurt bars were trendy and everywhere. Now that its gone, I've given up again.
