    I personally don't care for Chobani...to me it always tastes like it is going bad. Here is the thing about Greek style yogurt...not everyone is going to like it. Fage and Trader Joe's full fat plain yogurts are my favorite. They taste like sour cream, can be used in place of sour cream. Yogurt isn't dessert. Cucumber yogurt salad with garlic...yum! For example. You may never like it...but get creative and you may love it. Keep in mind Greek style yogurt is regular yogurt with some of the extra water stained out. You can make it yourself with you favorite brand of plain yogurt. Just make sure you weigh it before and after so you can refigure the nutrient breakdown by weight, because with less water weight a 2 oz. serving will now be more nutrient dense.

    No idea. I love it. Chobani is one of the better ones. Fage is probably the least offensive to yoplait lovers.

    Ben and Jerry's frozen greek yogurt....yummy. Regular stuff has great texture but I am not moved by it either.

    I ALWAYS buy the one with the honey on the bottom! The other ones dont seem to have a good flavor. Or if you don't get the homey, try adding some sweetener to it...

    I love greek yogurt. Going back to regular yogurt I find it too runny.

    I eat - Danone Oikos Key Lime, Liberte Lemon, Liberte Vanilla & Liberte Honey

    I've noticed some people who don't like Greek yogurt really object to the texture (the taste, to me, isn't that different from regular yogurt - it's just very thick and weird-feeling). If you don't like the texture but want the protein, maybe mix it half-and-half with regular yogurt, then add a little sugar or honey?

    I LOVE Greek yogurt and eat it every day, but I do like the thicker, weirder texture. I like putting a couple of tablespoons of honey-sweetened granola on it, though, then mixing it all up. The sweetness of the granola mitigates the tartness of the yogurt for me.

    Wow, I really like greek yogurt. I eat it plain sometimes. I prefer it in a savory dish, though. I like it as a replacement for sour cream on burritos and enchiladas more than anything. That being said, It's also pretty good with bananas and honey and topped with grape nuts. Just let it set overnight if you like your grape nuts soggy.

    Oikos number one maker of greek yogurt! All other brands have inferior greek yogurt!!


    Umm add oatmeal or fresh fruit? I looove their vanilla, strawberry and raspberry. black cherry was just meh.

    chobani SUCKS. their vanilla tastes like pure vanilla extract.

    and i agree w/ ironmanpanda, why eat it if you don't like it?? another person asked about fish earlier, they didn't like it but it's healthy....

    my biggest issue with greek yogurt is the aftertaste.. I agree with what someone said above.. that it is kind of like eating sour cream. That is exactly how I feel - like I'm eating sour cream out of the container.. It definitely takes getting used to and so far, I haven't found one that I can stomach.

    I always get plain yogurt and fix it myself with my OWN fruits, honey, etc. You throw enough yummy in the blender, and it eventually erases the taste of any yogurt.

    Exactly what I love about Greek yogurt. When I was a kid I loved eating sour cream straight of the container. We obviously all have different tastes. I think plain Greek yogurt tastes a lot better than plain unstrained yogurt. If I hated any yogurt, I wouldn't eat it. It isn't a necessity, merely an option.

    I like the Chobani brand.....blood orange, raspberry & apple cinammon are my faves, but the others just seem to have a chalky-ish texture to them.

    I personally like it. I use the plain in berry banana pb breakfast smoothies I make. Also eat the vanilla 0% with nothing else added. But if u don't like it don push it! Google things that r high in protein. Also, reg American yogurt is still ok! We must forget that. Just all this Greek yogurt hype reg yogurt has fallen to the back burner. May not get as much protein, but still some good bacteria, etc stick with the tried and true if you don't like the new!

    I usually have it stirred through my porridge with honey and fruit. If I have it on its own I add honey. You can use it to make dressings and desserts to.

    I like Oikos more than Chiboni, though the mango Chiboni is really good.

    I generally don't like the fruit on the bottom of any kind of yogurt, but that's just me. I prefer to just get plain or vanilla and add my own.

    I do like vanilla greek yogurt with granola or even with the Vanilla Almond Special K.
