I know hate is a strong word but I truly hate greek yogurt. I keep trying it and have yet to find one that I like. I tried Chobani and it tasted like soap. I tried another brand and it was sour - perhaps it was bad.

How can I learn to love something I hate and are there specific brands that are better tasting than others?

    Question: why do you need to love it?

    Life is too short to eat foods you hate. I'd skip it unless there's some reason you really need it in your diet.

    Also, I hate the Chobani. It's my least favorite of all the Greek yogurts out there. You might try one of tge sweeter brands like Yoplait or Oikos until you get used to it.

    I adore Cabot low fat vanilla Greek yogurt. I make refrigerator oatmeal with it plus strawberries. Nom nom nom.

    I use plain Greek yogurt in recipes like Tzatziki sauce, which I use as a low calorie/full flavor salad dressing. Since plain doesn't have any sugar, I prefer it for savory recipes.

    Honestly I hated it too but the Macros in it are great. I eat fage greek yogurt. It has 18g protein. What I did to make It yummy is put a little honey and cinnamon in it and it's pretty good. I actuallt enjoy it now.

    I'm not a big fan, either, but it is filling and low cal. I put it in smoothies, so it tastes mostly of fruit.

    I love it and I embrace the sour. The Greek Yogurt that I found most heavenly was a full fat organic lemon flavoured that played off the slight sourness.

    If you hate it, get your dairy protein another way, like cheese.

    Found a brand that I liked. That said, you don't HAVE to eat it if you don't want to.

    I like fage greek yogurt. Plain.


    But if you don't like it... why on earth are you forcing yourself to eat it?

    Do you like peanut butter? I put PB2 in my greek yogurt. I like PB2 and greek yogurt better than ice cream.

    You know that plain yogurt can be substituted for sour cream and can be, well, sour, right?

    I don't care for yogurt in general. It's the texture. But I love the high protein of Greek yogurt. I use it in recipes like in egg salad sandwiches or mixed with powdered sugar and vanilla as frosting. Or in a smoothie or shake. I'm always trying to incorporate it into my meals. I don't eat it alone though.

    Chobani is the worst.

    Why do you need to eat Greek yogurt? If you don't like it, don't eat it.

    If the sourness is an issue, you might like getting plain, adding a sweetener, and then adding a bit of vanilla extract. I do that and add blueberries sometimes.

    Yogurt is a healthy food, and good for you in many ways. I like to add honey to taste and either frozen fruit or some of my favorite preserves. I jarred some raspberry and apricot jams, they're both delicious on Greek yogurt.

    If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it! However, if you are trying different healthy options and still open to trying it new ways, I would suggest adding some cocoa powder (I use about 3 g per every 100 g of yogurt) and some sort of sweetener - I like vanilla protein powder (I use about 10 g per every 100 g of yogurt). I eat this for breakfast and sometimes dip strawberries in it - delicious!
