    I love greek yogurt, however, I don't like the one you tried. The best is Brown Cow, so creamy and wonderful. Also Dannon makes a great Vanilla one. I just like how creamy it is. I usually get the vanilla and mix in fresh berries for a yummy treat.

    Put it in the blender with some berries and honey and then let it sit overnight... the sweetness will move throughout the yogurt more and it'll taste better.

    Truthfully, I use it more as a sour cream substitute in Chilis and dips than I do as an actual yogurt!

    Try total fage fat free Greek yogurt. Much creamier. Also, I add 1 tbsp of raisins, 2 tsp agave, and a dash of cinnamon to my chobni non fat plain yogurt.

    I hate pretty much all yogurt. I just can't eat it, especially the plain versions.The only way I can stomach some of the fruity flavors is to mix it with granola. Same thing with cottage cheese. Yuck.

    The solution - I don't eat it! Don't force feed yourself something you don't like. You tried it, it didn't work out. There are plenty of other healthy high protein options for you. Try a low fat cheese stick instead. The cracker barrel 2% extra sharp cheddar sticks are awesome! I also eat a lot of clif bars and other protein bars - the mini clif bars are 100 calories and a great little protein snack. You could look into protein shakes as well.

    For what it's worth - Fage is supposed to be the best greek yogurt, so maybe try that before you give up totally or choke down something you hate.I use it a lot for cooking and baking.

    Wow, In UK Greek yoghurt is delicious. Great with honey, or tinned madarins/sastumas/pineapple

    I love the versatility of greek yogurt. It can be breakfast, a snack, a dip, a high protein replacement for sour cream, a sauce (think chicken enchillada sauce or stroganoff sauce) and I've used it as such. Of the chobani with fruit in the bottom, peach is my favorite. To sweeten plain Greek yogurt, try truvia sweetner packets. They have no calories and are twice as sweet as sugar, so add one at time until you find the right mix. That way you still get the sweet without the calories.

    I am trying to eat Greek Yogurt because it is higher in protein.

    I bought the Chobani with fruit on the bottom because it had a little more sugar than others and I thought it would taste better.

    But...

    YUCK!!!

    I even added a little packet of sun crystals and that just didn't even help at all!!!

    To me, the after taste was like having a stiff, dry goat cheese that missed its maturation mark.

    I am sitting here trying to eat bites of it to get used to it, but...I...just...can't.

    I read on the internet that it takes getting used to and is an acquired taste for someone who is used to eating American yogurt.

    But let me tell you something.

    Champagne is an acquired taste. Lamb is an acquired taste.

    This stuff is NOT. It is pain on wheels.

    The initial taste is not terrible. But I just can't get over the after taste. Ugh!

    Greek Yogurt is DELICIOUS!! Are you trying the "plain" ones because yoplait 2x greek yogurt is super delicious espically the honey vanilla, blueberry and the strawberry.

    I had Chobani regular yogurt and it was the most digusting thing ever. I may have to try a different flavor or something.

    Try getting the 2% plain, and adding your own fruit, honey, etc. It has a creamier flavor to it. Or, try the Fage greek yogurt, it doesn't have the aftertaste that the chobani has.


    Haven't tasted chobani but the Fage is the one i eat!!!

    It is interesting how people's tastes are different. I gag when I eat regular yoplait yogurts, but LOVE~LOVE~LOVE Greek yogurt. I prefer Fage brand. I mix it with protein powder (vanilla) and cinnamon in the morning then top that with berries or Kashi cereal. Try mixing in a touch of Agave nectar if you are looking for some sweetness. As for savory applications, the sky is the limit. I add a bit of garlic, EVOO and salt and pepper for a wonderful dip.

    Fage is certainly the brand to try. I agree with previous posters ~ not that same aftertaste. Hope the suggestions help, but know that it really isn't a huge deal if you never acquire a taste for it. Brussel sprouts are healthy, but I wouldn't be caught dead with one!!!

    I use Fage 0%. I use it in place of sour cream, but if I want it sweet, I add honey to it.

    The one I use is a fat-free Greek yogurt, high in calcium and protein, only 120 calories per cup. And a cup is a lot of yogurt. I only use a half cup with my breakfast.
