Greek Yogurt

It does have a tart/sourish taste, but I sweeten it up with Splenda. Some people used fruit preserves or honey to take away that taste.

Greek yogurt is a different taste entirely. Unflavored, I think it actually tastes more like sour cream, so we usually blend it with honey and fruit. I highly recomment it, though. MUCH more protein!

I like it. I has a different taste, but the only type I have tried has a sour aftertaste - but hey, I can eat sourcream by the spoonful if I don't watch it.

it is much more bitter than regular yogurt!! I cannot eat it on its own! I used it as a fruit dip, mixed it with regular flavoured yogurt and some cool whip. Some people put peanut butter in it etc. Its too bitter for me to eat on its own.

That's weird, because I think it is less tart, and much smoother, but it may depend on the brand and what "flavor." The only one I really like is Fage. I tried the 0% first and didn't care for it, but got hooked once I tried the 2%. And I only do the plain - I'd rather add fresh fruit on my own than buy the pre-flavored stuff.

It depends on what brand and flavor you pick. I recommend trying several before you decide. I personally like the Yoplait 2x protein one. There are several flavors and I eat it mixed with granola. Great pre-workout or post-workout snack, or just a great snack in general! I've even had it for supper when I didn't feel like cooking!!!

I really like this kind too! its super yummy!

I love Greek yogurt, but then again I love all yogurt. You're right about the texture, its great. Creamy> My favorite is Chobani pineapple flavored. I don't find that flavor to have a sour taste. Good luck and congrats on the 6 lbs...

I am not a fan of plain yoghurt but this smoothie is like having ice cream every day but much healthier. I make it without the honey. I always use yoghurt but the other ingredients change daily. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/All-Around-Good-Smoothie/Detail.aspx

It depends on the brand-Chobani has flavored yogurt with fruit which is delicious and Fage has a yogurt that comes with a "side car" of honey you can stir into it! SO good!

I'm in the process of trying different brands of Greek yogurt now. I just started it. It does have a sour taste, a little bitter, but I think the different brands are all a little different. I have Chobani in the fridge to try tonight. I didn't really care for Fage and the Dannon greek is really good, especially the blueberry, I would say it is my favorite.

Just start out with one and see what you think.

You should like Chobani...I love all of their flavors but my favorites are the blueberry, mango, honey, and vanilla. The flavors are pretty intense and they use real fruit so it's pretty hearty. People making the switch from what I call "fake yogurts" like Yoplait, Dannon, Yo Crunch etc. can never really get over the price. You really have to be in it for the health benefits because it runs about 4 for $5.00 on sale or $1.29 ea. Quite the jump from 10 for $5.00 or .55 cent each. But yeah, I'm all about organic sustainable foods and agriculture so I appreciate the 'real' taste. It's not soupy or drowned with artificial sweeteners. The non-fats are all under 150 calories with 20-22 carbs, about 14-16 grams of protein, 20 grams of sugar from natural flavors, and low sodium. Even the low fats are great options, as none exceed 160 calories! I'm pretty sure I sound like one of their marketing directors by now so I'll stop. But yeah, give them a try.

I'm not a big fan of regular yoghurt, but I adore Greek yoghurt, I go through three tubs a week. To me it tastes *a lot* better. I still don't eat plain, though, I eat vanilla or a fruit flavour. Although plain is all right if you eat it as topping on fruit salad. It takes away that sour taste.

So all those that eat greek yoghurt can you answer me this please. I asked in a thread and no one answered. Is "greek style yoghurt" the same thing as greek yoghurt.

Try a few different types...if you don't like them, you can always use in cooking, or drain over cheese cloth, puree with fruit and splenda and freeze into popsicle molds

But having it fresh, I like to add a few dashes of vanilla flavoring, or even better scrape a vanilla pod into it. Another variation is honey or maple syrup and add berries...such a decadent snack!

I don't know about in the US, but in the UK, no. Greek yoghurt is yoghurt mixed with cream, or made with cream. Greek Style yoghurt is thickened with thickening agents.
