    For those of you with texture issues-- do you not like pudding either? Cuz I think Greek yogurt (at least chobani & fage) are very pudding like :)

    What do you mean by pudding? To me (in the UK) pudding means anything sweet you have after a meal. Often stodgy with sponge and custard.

    I had never tried greek yogurt until I read it here on MFP...I was curious and wanted to see what all the fuss was about and I got instantly hooked...My favorites are Chobani Pineapple, Peach and Dannon Honey...I remeber when I first opened up the container, i just raised an eyebrow at how it looked and assumed i was not going to like it, and now I have one every day, usually for breakfast around 9am along w/another piece of fruit like a banana, pear, apple and it holds me pretty good all the way til lunch time which is around 2pm for me...

    No. It's like a thick mousse, I guess you'd call it. Somewhere between baked custard and chocolate mousse. Does that help at all? :)

    I only like Greek Yogurt for the texture because it is thicker (texture for me). It is more sour than regualr yogurt and I add splenda packets to mine or to a fruit smoothie.

    LOL. Just looked it up. Apparently the closest thing is something called banana custard

    I first tried it in recipes, then I tried it on it's own and much prefered it over regular yogurt. I eat it plain with splenda, sometimes I have it with fruit but just as often not. It's a matter of taste so I agree with other posters if you don't like it don't make yourself eat it! I mean I can't stand cottage cheese unless it's in a jello salad with crushed pineapple, so I don't care how much my friends like it I ain't eatin it! I think the reason some of us rave over it is because it has so much protein and is very versatile as a swap for sour cream, (some of us really do LOVE the taste and texture too!)

    BTW I did NOT enjoy Yoplaits Greek yogurt, I buy Fage fat free.

    I had a bad taste to one, my friend loves them but she says it's an acquired taste.. I'm tempted to try different brands

    My favorite so far is Greek Gods plain, full fat. I put strawberries, blueberries, coconut or granola on it. Tried almond butter mixed in a few days ago and that was awesome. Also I have recently started using it in place of sour cream because I was out, and I think it actually tastes better.

    I tried the chobani peach a while back and it was good....but the vanilla one was pretty gross!

    I had a very similar response the first tim I tried it. SO...I still kept hearing and listening to everyone talk about it and I thought Id try again. I bought strawberry chobani (which is made 2 towns southwest of me!) and I added about 2 tablespoons of Kashi go lean... It was WAY better.... well...days pass and I keep trying it...and now that I am used to it, I am addicted. I have tried other brands but nothing compares to Chobani. It is expensive though!
    I at first thought it tasted like yogurt that had gone bad. I think the trick is--- try it a couple times a few days a part and dont eat regular yogurt during this time....then youll like it! lol

    The only type my grocer carries is Athenos and Dannon. Of the two, I prefer the Athenos, and actually bought some this evening. Not all of us have such options, dear friends. :)

    It is so easy to make, and less than half the cost of the most expensive ones. Check out www.salad-in-a-jar.com
