Its too thick, and leaves my mouth feeling all coated and nasty. I love reg yogurt (and home made raw milk yogurt is AMAZING!), but greek yogurt is just gross.

I cant be the only one?

    I only use Greek yogurt to make dips, otherwise love non fat reg yogurt.

    It's an acquired taste. I much much prefer 'fromage frais' (or 'fromage blanc') but it seems that it hasn't made it to the US yet unfortunately... I'm still hoping I'll find some one day...

    Can't stand the stuff plain. But mixed with other foods it's relatively palatable. jmho, ymmv, etc.

    I tried the Chobani brand with fruit and it was totally gross!! I decided to try a different brand and tried Dannon Oikos without fruit and I really liked it. It didn't keep the hunger away like my usual omelet in the mornings but it was a nice change.

    I hear that all the time. Just swallow it for now till you get used to the taste. Eventually you'll come to love the texture and feeling of it in your mouth. It's a great way to get in protein so it's worth working on getting used to.

    I think it tastes just like sour cream. I do NOT think it tastes anything like regular yogurt sweetened with sugar and fruit. But I only use it in cooking, or on a baked potato or in dip or anywhere I might normally use sour cream.

    It is definitely an acquired taste. The first kind I tried was the Dannon Light & Fit. I only ate it once because it made me gag. The Yoplait kind with the granola was okay, but left that weird taste and feeling in my mouth. So, Chobani it is for now! It tastes pretty good (IMO), is filling, and gives my protein a boost.

    I love it, but I found out every year Greek Yogurt produces over 5 million pound of acidic whey that can not be safely disposed of so it just sits in giant containers. Kinda made me stop eating it

    I don't like it on it's own but we make a low calorie meal with it by mixing it with fresh garlic and herbs and stuffing chicken breasts then wrapping the chicken in parma ham... this is probably one of the only ways I can eat it

    I felt the same way. I ended up getting Chobani (which has real fruit in it) and added walnuts (or any nut) to break up the texture. I really like it now!
