I just cant get into eating the GREEK yogurt. I know it is supposed to be good because it has more protein but ughhhhh - the taste is something I just cant get past. Any suggestions??

    Try adding just a little maple syrup or honey, with blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or walnuts, almonds, etc.
    My favorite dessert.

    I LOVE greek yogurt, it's become a staple for me, I eat it every day. But I do enjoy the taste and texture. Had you tried adding fruit or honey to it? Or trying a different brand?

    I personally think, if you don't like something, don't eat it. You've tried it, you didn't like it, there are many other high protein foods you can have instead. Just because something is healthy doesn't mean everyone likes it. I hate Spinach. Wish I didn't as the health benefits of it are great, but I've tried it so many times and I just don't like it.

    I like plain Greek yoghurt with oneh but have just discovered Liberte Greek 0% yoghurt in strawberry and blueberry flavours. They are pretty low cal and a small 100g pot has around 8g protein. If you don't like the plain stuff these are definitely worth a try.

    I used to HATE greek yogurt. I was determined to make myself like it because it was healthy. Since I have a bit of a sweet tooth, I started eating it with 2 packets of sweet n low. It was so sweet, that it make it palatable for me. As I got used to it, I slowly decreased the amount of sweet n low that I added. I now can eat it without any sweetener. And , I really like it too!!!

    If you don't like it, don't eat it.

    Or you could throw some berries in it or make it into a smoothie. Or Have cereal with it. if you have don't like it after that don't eat it! It's not worth buying things you're never going to like to eat!

    2 alternatives to Greek yogurt:
    Quark. It's very similar, consistency is thicker but it is a cheese (however fat free) I have it daily.
    Cottage Cheese, Complete different texture so you might like it, you can get it very reduced in fat if that is important to you and with different flavours chives, pineapple. Both good to increase protein level.

    Dannon Okios - Vanilla flavor and sprinkle some cinnamon on it. IT'S AMAZING.

    I'm totally in love with Chobani Greek. The Oikos is great (esp. the key lime one). Yoplait...ewwwwwww, though the lemon's tolerable. That said, don't eat it if you don't like it. I gave it a whir and found the thickness and flavor far suited my preferences than traditional yogurt did, and has more protein, which is usually where I'm lacking since I try to eat 25% protein/45% carb/30% fat.

    I loooove Chobani black cherry greek yogurt (probably because it's loaded with sugar) but I don't care - that ish is the bomb!

    I had to go through a few brands to find one I liked. I only like blueberry chobani greek. Can't stand Oikos. I also like plain vanilla and I mix it in smoothies. I can't even taste the difference...it is just thicker and creamier than with normal low fat yogurt.

    Top it with strawberries, granola and microwave 1 tbsp strawberry jam until melted (only about 15 seconds) and drizzle that on top.

    Try it as a dressing for salads. Add 2 cloves of garlic chopped finely, juice of half a lemon and some chopped mint.

    Try different brands and flavours.. you might find one you like.

    If not, don't eat it if you don't like it.

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I'm going to try a different brand, but I could barely eat the other brand I had bought.

    I liked Greek yogurt too until I saw how much sugar was in it. By my count, Chobani has 20g per container. Ouch.
    I'm going with Dannon LIght & Fit now...7g of sugar per container.

    Here is blueberry;

    Try a few brands. I can't stand Oikos or Fage, but I LOVE chobani! My newest thing is to take a container of plain chobani (16gms of protein and 100 cals!!!) and mix in 1 tbsp of nutella and 1 tbsp of mini chocolate chips. It's like dessert for breakfast with a protein kick. I also adore Chobani pineapple and Chobani mango. The other flavors are okay, but don't appeal to me NEARLY as much as those 3 favorites!

    When it first came on the market i HATED it also.... now i eat it daily! the trick for me was to try differant brands... there is a HUGE differance between them. My preferance is Chobani.... i wont touch the yoplait or dannon if you paid me to!
