    I have tried Chobani, A & E, Dannon - and Fage, definitely comes out on top! I usually sweeten it up with just a little splenda. I usually by the 2% - there isn't enough difference calorie or fat content wise to make a difference, but the taste - WOW! I have added vanilla flavoring to it or I have recently enjoyed adding a tablespoon of peanut butter with 1 packet of splenda. It tastes like a creamy, heavenly peanut butter treat!
    I just switched from no-fat vanilla store brand greek yogurt to Fage plain 2%.. Holy cow the difference in texture and nutrients is AMAZING!! But, I'm looking for recipies to spice/sweeten it up a bit, the flavoring is a bit tart to me since I'm used to the vanilla flavor that I usually just used as "milk" and mixed in with cereal and berries.

    What's your favorite way to eat your plain 2%?

    Most of the suggestions here are to sweeten it but I also like to use it as a savory ingredient. I mix it up with onion powder, granulated garlic, and cayenne pepper to make a spicy dip for vegetables or to load it into a baked potato instead of sour cream.
    Thai Sriracha sauce also works really well with it

    I find it better texture if you use cottage cheese..for some reason when i use greek yogurt my pancakes don't turn out right..maybe not thick enough?
