    Friends raved about Chobani and I tried it and initially thought it was gross, too close in look and texture to sour cream. But $$ is tight and someone gave me a case of vanilla Oikos brand so I've been eating it. I add a teaspoon of cinnamon sugar and sometimes dried fruit or cereal to it and it is still a better snack than other things I used to grab. Good Luck!

    I am confused as to why a person would try to choke down a food item they clearly don't like.

    PROTEIN CONTENT!!! Thats the only reason why.

    Oh wow! This was from last year! :)
    I've tried several since this post.

    I remember trying the greek at first and thinking-ewww! :( After eating several containers of it, it is the only kind I buy now.
    The last brand I tried was Oikos or something like that. It was a black cherry flavor. It's good to mix the container really good since the fruit is at the bottom. I mixed it with fresh blueberries and some biochem vanilla protein powder the other day. It's really good with just the vanilla powder. Adds a bit of flavor and sweetness I guess. I thought it would be gritty and was making a face before I even tried it, but I was happy with how it tasted. :)

    Then another one came with granola on top that you mix really good with the yogurt. The thing that I found that works the best to get used to it is when you go to take a bite, think of cheesecake or that consistency. It's certainly a different texture than the standard regular yogurt. Kind of thick like cheesecake. I had a peach one that was really good the other day too.

    Try mixing it with Jello Cheesecake Pudding Mix...it takes just like you're eating cheesecake and doesn't add that many calories. One small package of jello mix with flavor 1/2 to 1 whole tub of plain Greek yogurt, depending on taste. You can add some fruit on top and you'll feel like you're eating dessert. See my "Mock Cheesecake" in the recipe section.

    I eat it as a sour cream substitute!! I eat it in baked sweet potatoes, mashed cauliflower, to top fajitas etc!! i haven't tried it as a dessert type yogurt. Maybe you need to look at it differently. Oh and I eat FAGE... its thick and i love it.

    I'm trying to get into Greek yogurt because of the protein. I really like the taste of the Chobani Apple Cinnamon, but my problem is the smell of yogurt. I can tolerate the taste, but the smell s horrible. Anyone else feel this way?

    Yes. Greek yogurt is the only/best way to get more protein.

    Obviously.

    I never understand why people want to eat stuff they don't like. There are a billion other foods in the world. Eat something else.

    I eat Greek yogurt with almost all of my meals but I HATE it by itself or with fruit.
    And I love it on top of pancakes and sweeten it with Truvia and thin it out with some unsweetened almond milk and cinnamon to taste. It's delicious!!

    and I eat Fage 0%

    I get the plain greek yogurt and add in my own fruits or mix it into my morning oatmeal. I didn't like it at first, but I love it now. Granola is good with it too.

    I can't seem to eat it on its own... but I never really tried that hard either. I mostly just use it to replace mayo in recipes now

    I have a long-term, permanent solution for you: don't buy it again.
