    Fage 2% plain greek yogurt, then add any of the following combos: Dried cherries+agave nectar, chopped granny smith apple+walnuts+honey, fresh blueberries+honey, clean granola+honey, strawberries+granola

    I think by far that Fage 2% is the best tasting yogurt, maybe a little pricey, but worth it!

    I make mine taste better by swapping it out for ice cream.

    I like the light and fit (i think its by yoplait) usually vanilla, strawberry or peach. I can stomach the ones by breyers with add ins (nestle crunch etc) or i do a smoothie, whatever fruit and liquid you have can mask the flavor of the yogurt. either way, no plain yogurt for me.

    I buy plain fat free yogurt and strain it. With a large container, I lay a pillowcase over a colander over a bowl and dump the yogurt into it. Either a couple hours on the counter or 12 hours in the fridge, and a bunch of clearish liquid is in the bowl. This gives you essentially greek yogurt. The taste is much sweeter without paying double. I love it with canned fruits like pineapple or peaches (not in syrup).

    I agree though, that if you don't like the taste of it, don't force it. You will do better on a change if you enjoy it. There are plenty of probiotic capsules out there if you are looking for the microbiotia in the yogurt.

    I add 2 Tbsp of PB2 (powdered peanut butter) to one cup of Fage plain nonfat. Then a sprinkle of cinnamon, some frozen dark cherries, some semi-sweet chocolate chips... and sometimes a small handful of Cinnabon cereal or Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It's great!!

    Don't force yourself to consume calories you do like. One of the reasons I like MFP is that I become very selective about what I consume and it best be something I like. Forget the yogurt and move on....I personally love it plain or with fresh fruit.

    I've always hated yogurt...and caught myself licking some off a spoon just the other day. I've been adding vanilla flavoured yogurt to my shakes for awhile, and I guess I'm getting used to the taste because it didn't make me want to puke! So I guess my suggestion is blend it in to something else. My shake is banana strawberry oats and milk +yogurt.
  • You should try the Yoplait Whips, particularly the strawberry mist one. They might not be the healthiest of yogurts, but it's still better than snack cakes or something, plus they taste like pure heaven :love:

    * I feel I should add that although this yogurt doesn't need any additives in my opinion, I wanted to point out that I love it so much because of the TEXTURE. Sure it tastes like other strawberry yogurts, I guess...but I was the same way, didn't like yogurt because of the "taste" and after trying the whips, I realized it was more the thick, pudding-like texture that bothered me. Just a thought!

    I mix Fage 0% with chocolate pb2, a little jam/jelly, and a few tbsp of sunflower/pumpkin seeds and love it. You could also add other things like dried fruit to add a bit more sweetness, but this works for me.
