    Indifference. Mostly because I'd rather spend my calories on a piece of meat than a container of yogurt. But chobani is fine.

    its pretty good, I prefer dannon lite and fit but they are a great source of protein and probiotics.

    The Chobani coconut yogurt has been sent to us by the gods. It should be respected and cherished as such.

    Love Chobani 100. Just ate a pineapple coconut one.

    I prefer the taste of Yoplait. The Chobani with fruit in the bottom is pretty good though.

    I love the coconut. I freeze it so it's like ice cream. And yes, I also eat ice cream:)

    Honestly, my favorite Greek Yogurt is the Great Value (Wal-Mart) Light No Fat Vanilla. 130 Calories and 18 g of protein. Out of all the brands/flavors (execpt plain) that I've tried, I like the taste best and it has - for Greek Yogurt - a great protein to Calorie ratio.

    Of the "fruited" Greek Yogurts, I prefer Fage (it'll be interesting to see if MFP 2.0 allows that), but it tends to be more expensive than Chobani.

    But Chobani is OK.

    I'm not big on the "regular" Chobani with the fruit in the bottom...but the "Indulgent" flavors...amazing! I've only been able to find Mint & Dark Chocolate and Banana & Dark Chocolate at the stores here so far, but they are both great! They're 140 calories per serving, so having one of them with a banana for breakfast makes for great flavor without using up too many of my daily calories.

    I like the 0% fat. I like chobani because they don't use artificial colors. I love black cherry and blueberry but almost every brand uses red dye #40 so I wasnt able to eat it. Not a fan of the simply 100. For me it is too sweet.

    We don't have Chobani in Canada so it's a real treat! Every time I go across the border I have to bring a bunch of it home for my friends and coworkers. I love the pumpkin one that you can only get around Thanksgiving.

    I see, I like the blueberry flavor.

    Chobani is delicious! I add a Greek Yogurt to my breakfast every work morning (and some other mornings)... It is most often Chobani (they seem to have the most flavors to choose from), but I will stray, especially if it's a tight-budget week as the Chobani is a few cents more per container. I do prefer Chobani just because of the variety, though... Coconut, pineapple, and passionfruit are my favorites!

    I'm a larger fan of plain Danon Oikos Greek yogurt. It has the same amount of protein as Chobani but is lower in carbs and calories.

    Since the recall of Chobani last year and the serious case of c.diff my best friend suffered at the hands of the recalled Chobani, and the company's lack of response or concern for those they made ill with their contaminated yogurt, I no longer purchase Chobani. It's all Greek yogurt. I buy a different brand now.

    I like Dannon Oikos much more as well. Love the Chobani flips though.

    I love it. Especially the apple cinnamon steel cut oats flavor! I don't like the 100 calorie ones, though, they taste off to me.

    I usually eat Fage and add my own fruit, but I do enjoy the Passion Fruit Chobani. Yum. I'll have to try the coconut. Sounds great!

    I really like chobani :) I eat the plain 0% one so I can add in my muesli and a dash of honey. Sooo tasty! It's my breakfast most mornings.

    If you have an Aldi by you - definitely try the Friendly Farms Greek 0% milkfat. It is 140 calories, 24 g of protein, and only 7 sugars (one of the lowest I have seen). I add a little honey or Stevia to sweeten and a little granola for a great snack with lots of protein.

    I get the 4% Chobani plain as it's the only full fat greek yogurt I can find at the grocery. It's great - I usually have 228g a day - helps me meet my fat macro - and when I mix it with 28g of chocolate whey and 5g or so of unsweetened cocoa, it's divine - a small meal that feeds my chocolate habit and has 320 calories, with 40g protein, 3g fiber, 12g fat and 17g carb (10 of that from the yogurt). My version of "protein fluff" lol

    Kirkland brand greek yogurt looks just like Chobani, packaged same, same flavors. 28 grams protein; costs .74 each. I eat one for breakfast every day.

    Chobani, Simply 100. LOVE! <3 I practically live on that stuff. Good protein and fiber. A good portion of the real estate in my fridge is reserved for this greatness.

    I hated there Greek yogurt, it was watery and horrid so I binned it and went back to my Jalna Greek Yoghurt.

    I work retail and I SAW that company's recall. I happen to think that they took it VERY seriously. In what way did they not have 'concern"? I"m curious.

    And I prefer Oikos, the Key Lime Oikos is to die for. For me, the chobani 100 is too fake tasting, just like the yoplait is. I grew up on Yoplait and ate it for years. Now, after eating real yogurt, Yoplait is icky to me.

    Noosa is also excellent, although it's full fat and not a 'diet' yogurt. It has nice protein, though.

    I like it but for some reason it doesnt seem like real yogurt.. like there is more air or something. Not sure. Still nice though.

    It was originally not a recall. When they first noticed issues, they had issued a warning. 2 weeks later they did a full recall. In all fairness to them, they really thought it was an isolated batch issue. Besides- it was kind of obvious if you had a bad one- the tops were bulging/exploding. Since the recall they have changed manufacturing and transportation.

    I only eat plain Greek yogurt, and I don't really like Chobani. I know it's more expensive, but I prefer the texture of Fage. Chobani is too watery.
