Greek yogurt...I'm new to it.

Options
Ok my friends I have been doing the Greek yogurt thing the last two days. I have chobani Greek plain non fat...and to sweeten it I am using stevia. I am usually not a great fan of yogurt because of texture but is isn't too bad. My question to you all is:
do you eat yogurt?
What brand?
What flavor?
And what if anything do you add to it?
- just looking for suggestions, THANKS!

    Any organic brand in my protein shakes, yum.

    Smooths them out nicely.

    I LOVE Greek Yogurt! Chobani is the best. My two favorites are the pineapple and the blueberry. Their strawberry is good as well! The texture and flavor of greek yogurt is totally different then regular yogurt because they strain it more. Enjoy!

    I like Dannon Oikios the best all the flavors, its not quiet as tangy as some of the others I have tried, Chobani is my next fav, the black cherry is really good!!

    I usually eat Yoplait light yogurt, but I really love Brown Cow cream on top yogurt. I'll have to try Greek yogurt.

    I only like vanilla yogurt, and if someone gives it to me, I'll eat yoplait strawberry or something. but now I only eat Dannon Vanilla Greek non-fat yogurt, tastes good already so I add nothing. Plain Yogurt is disgusting, more power to you :)

    I LOVE greek yogurt! Chobani flavored yogurts are so good as well. You should try Kefir. Preferably the flavored ones also. The plain is a little too sour. It's like crack!

    I'm into Greek yogurt as well
    love the texture
    plain is good ;)
    i add a little honey or berries or diced fruit ex. pears or cantaloupe
    but i hope to be able to switch to stevia
    as soon as i get used to it

    watch out for the flavored Greek yogurt because it high sugar and low protein
    :happy:

    I eat activia light. I use to have light and fit dannon yogurt but i found that when i open them i dont eat the whole thing so i go with activia and its only 70 calories. I like to go with yogurts that dont have too many calories

    Greek yogurt is awesome-- so much more protein than regular yogurt! I buy the large tub of Fage (pronounced Fa-Yeh), plain, non-fat, and I like to add a little bit of agave nectar. Agave nectar is sweet but lower on the glycemic scale than honey. It is also easier to stir in... I usually add something crunchy, too, like bran buds or granola.

    I'm not a real dairy fan in general, but I use about 2 tbsp of Dannon nonfat greek yogurt in my oatmeal for breakfast.

    I love the honey flavored Greek yogurt. According to my Dr it is a healthier alternative to whey protein.

    i buy the Kroger brand or Yoplait..its cheap

    I put it in my protein shakes, or i use it in place of mayo in my sandwiches. But I normally eat it for my mid a.m. snack with a scoop of protien powder in it. I stay away from the fruit or flavored yogurts because of the high sugar content

    I'm not real picky about greek yogurt - I like most of it. Yoplait Greek is kind of chalky- blech!

    Chobani is really good. Watch out for Dannon/Oikos - the "blended" variety is much higher in calories than the "fruit on the bottom" kind.

    Hi !
    I love yogurt, I try to eat it at least once a day and Greek yogurt is my go to post-workout food.
    I tried Greek yogurt about two months ago and loved it - the best part is it's packed with protein !
    I personally love the Chobani brand. However, some of the flavors they offer, for example: strawberry banana, mango, and some other have some fat in it. Most don't though so read the nutrition labels.
    My favorite kinds are Chobani strawberry, honey, vanilla, blueberry and raspberry.

    If you're getting bored of plain add a teaspoon of cinnamon to your yogurt, or a little bit of honey!

    I eat it basically every day. I get the organic plain oikos and add stuff...vanilla flavoring, cinnamon and, depending on my calories/nutritional values for a given day, add berries, fruit, granola, nuts. Use it as a mini-meal mid-afternoon.
