I am trying to switch from Chobani Pineapple Greek Yougart to just plain old regular Chobani Greek Yogart to cut back on my processed sugar intake. Wow, is it horrible! Any ideas what I can add to it to change the horrible after taste? Has anyone tried adding cinnamon to it or anything like that? I am allergic to most fruits except for apples, pineapple, blueberrys which is why I was thinking maybe some type of spice like the cinnamon.

    I like to add cinnamon or cocoa powder with just a little bit of honey. So good!

    I don't think there's anything wrong with the sugar in Chobani, but if you really want to avoid it you could try Stevia or eating it with a banana.

    I eat plain Chobani every day! I add a tablespoon of honey with granola or sweetleaf and fruit. It definitely makes the taste great!

    Take 150 g (1/2 cup approximately) of the plain Greek yogurt and add 7 g (2 Tbsp) of your favorite Jello - Instant Sugar Free & Fat Free Pudding mix ( dry mix), they have white chocolate, cheesecake, butterscotch, pistachio...etc.

    It will taste like cheesecake filling and it is only 105 calories total! It is really, really good! No need to add any other flavoring or sugar/sugar substitute to it.

    (FWIW I use Walmart's Great Value - Fat Free Plain Greek Yogurt since it has more protein and less sugar than the Chobani brand and it's cheaper)

    I LOVE Chobani plain yoghurt.

    It's an acquired taste. You have to expect a slighly mildly plain taste, not candy marketed as health food.

    To improve the flavor for you, you might try adding plain fruit (pears, for example) or nuts (cashews are great) or granola. I eat it with pears and muesli for breakfast every morning.

    Hello :smile:

    I find that different brands of Greek yogurt taste quite a bit differently. Have you tried plain Greek in any other brand?

    I love Dannon Oikos Greek plain yogurt in both non-fat and traditional. I find them both quite creamy and not as "tangy" as Chobani. You save some fat and calories in the non-fat but I must say that the traditional is like eating real sour cream. :happy:

    Good luck in finding one that appeals to you! :smile: :flowerforyou:

    I go with vanilla so there is some flavor. If I went plain I would add fresh blueberries.

    I know that if your watching your sugar using MFP's tool then yeah a bowl raisin bran cereal w/lowfat milk for breakfast for example, a chobani yogurt & a banana later on in the day and your almost at your daily allowance of sugar for the day....
    Raisin bran is a great cereal but it does have a lot of sugar, try oatmeal instead, but not instant, the real stuff that you cook on a stove, sprinkle cinnamon on top. Its hard to stay away from sugar when your making an effort to stay away from it... I never realized how much sugar we consume in everyday products, especially canned or prepared frozen foods...ouch!

    But, you can still enjoy your Chobani w/ fruit on the bottom if you find a way to reduce your sugar in other areas....Example, if you drink coffee, use a powdered instant creamer instead of milk or International delight. Instant creamer has 0 grams sugar whereas International delight has 5 or 6 grams per serving.

    Honey, 2 tablespoons raw honey and your looking at about 16 grams sugar.... nope, cant have honey and your chobani, not on the same day. its one or the other... but not both in one day :P

    Most important above all.....is to reduce or eliminate added sugars..... candies, cakes, sodas, canned or jared pasta sauces & frozen dinners and of course, yogurts that are sweetened by fruits flavorings.
