    Chobani plain or with fruit at the bottom

    I love the taste, it's not overly sweet and so far I haven't found any added sugar listed in the ingredient list.

    Oikos on the other hand, I had one the other day with fruit and discovered that sugar was listed 2x on the ingredient list. It was also extremely sweet.

    Either one..I like them both. Oikos is more "dessert-y"...its sweeter, but both are good.

    Neither for me!
    I feel like I'm the only one in the world who doesn't like Greek yogurt. Tastes like sour cream to me, even the flavored ones!

    Oikos, but I'm cheap so I buy whichever one has a Bj's coupon that month.

    Chobani is more natural, but very yogurty-tangy. I don't mind it too much, but I wish it was a bit less tart. Oikos has more sugar, but the taste is better and I find it creamier as well.

    I like plain Greek yogurt. Both Chobani & Fage (the ones i've tried) have been good. Oikos sounds familiar and so have probably tried it too -- and do not recall a bad experience.

    Well, substituting I don't mind so much, haha. But I don't like it straight up.


    I love my Yoplait Boston Creme yogurt too much lol.

    Oikos is on the sweet side and Chobani is on the sour side. I like them both, but I prefer the sweetness of Oikos.

    I like both actually. But I currently am on a Oikos kick, with the key lime, and vanilla toasted coconut. Although, I know they have more calories due to the sugar, but it's better then any dessert temptation.

    Oikos for sure! Chobani tastes sour and...weird.

    I am not fond of plain yogurt, either regular or greek. I am also not fond of the overly sweet regular yogurts with fruit. So... I get a quart of "light" regular vanilla and a quart of plain Fage 0 greek yogurt and mix them together. Then I can add fresh fruit, slivered almonds or a bit of granola to liven it up.

    Oikos, I try to limit foods that have processed sugar. :)

    Oikos.. I have tried both and Oikos taste way better to me. Love their vanilla with some granola, and their blueberry is really good.

    I just eat it plain. Too much sugar with any other variety. I'll have to try Oikos if it comes in plain though... but I think they're pretty similar!

    If you get the fage 2% with strawberry an mix it all up, it sooooo good!!! Does not taste like sour cream what so ever!!!

    I don't like anything but Greek yogurt now. Regular yogurt makes me feel like I'm going to gag... I think it's the goopy texture! Lol

    Chobani Pineapple or Apples and Cinnamon.

    I can't stand Oikos texture. Way too chalky!!

    We also use the Chobani plain in place of sour cream. SO yummy!

    To you, perhaps. Maybe it's the high fructose corn syrup?

    Im buying chobani today.

    I would favour that over other yogurts purely because of the protein content.

    Only if you care about these things, fage and chobani are made traditionally (actually, physically strained). I don't know about oikos, but the yoplait brand is simulated to taste strained by adding in thickeners and other taste/mouth feel chemicals.

    I heard an interview about chobani to get this info (probably on public radio).

    I found this article that gives a decent run down of some popular options

    Depends on my mood. Sometimes I crave the flavor of one or the other.

    I like both! Chobani mango and raspberry, and Oikos Bluebberry and peach.

    I tried the yoplait the other day and it was not very good...
