    Try Chobani pomegranate or strawberry - two of my personal favorites :)

    I didn't have a good experience the first time I tried greek yogurt - I had Chobani honey once, felt like I was choking it down because I didn't like the taste of it. I then mixed it with about 1/2 cup of Kashi Honey Almond Flax cereal and LOVED it!

    Another time I bought a single serving of Fage 2% w/ honey.. ate the yogurt side w/ granola wondering why it wasn't sweet only to find the honey in the "handle" part of the container :D

    Fage has the better consistency imo, it really reminds me of a good dessert sometimes, but I eat chobani because I got a bunch during a sale a few weeks ago :)

    I love the plain Chobani with just a little sweetner. So much so that I've not really been inclined to try any of the flavoured versions.

    Check this website out!!!

    www.crockpt365.blogspot.com , then search Yogurt


    I have tried a ton of them from the store and was okay with the Oikos....UNTIL I learned to make it myself. It is less costly and the end result was much better. I had trouble eating the store bought after a few batches of homemade. The difference for me was that I strained it a lot longer and removed some more of the whey. I am not a fan of the heavy tanginess in the yogurt and while that can be reduced by adding lots of sugar(which is not healthy)...I just can't stomach a whole lot of it. So I would suggest an attempt on the homemade. Its easy, only costs ya a gallon of milk, and reduces the whey. If you try this out, strain it for a few hours vs. the suggested half hour. It will be incredibly thick(close to a cream cheese texture) but the results in flavor are glorious!!!

    I love the stuff... irrespective of brand, Buy plain then add fruit. Blueberries, Blackberries & Raspberries are my favourite raw, but apricot and strawberry are good if you microwave them to a mush first.

    If you have calories to spare, a teaspoon of honey makes a big difference too.

    I first didn't like the taste of Greek yogurt. Now I prefer the texture and taste over regular or light Yoplait or other major brands. I like Chobani, Trader Joe's and even Brown Cow brands.
