    I don't care for the plain, need to figure out the right way to sweeten it, but the fruit kind is awesome. I could live on Chobani, the raspberry rules!

    I brought so yesterday and I loved it. I bought Chobani, added rasberries and some granola...yum!
    I guess the taste is also personal.Some people love tomatoes, others hate it.

    The plain stuff is disgusting....vanilla with fruit is good or chobani

    It took me about 2 weeks, but I've trained my taste to LIKE plain greek yogurt. I don't add any sweetener, just some walnuts or almonds....I actually look forward to it now!

    I cook fruit, press it through a sieve, mix it with the greek yogurt and splenda. It makes a fantastic snack. If you don't like the thickness thin it out with a little milk or kefir. Just remember it's high in protein which will keep you full :)

    I used to think that - then I dressed it up and now I LOVE IT!

    If you like it savory: use like sour cream on baked potatoes or mashed.

    Or, spice it up with black pepper, dill, dried parsley - makes super mayo-like spread for sandwiches or tuna fish.

    if you like it sweet: splenda, a dash of vanilla, and some pumpkin pie spice.....

    Or... a bit of honey and some fresh fruit.....

    Mmmmm....

    Mt FAVORITE: Mix with Splenda, mash up some raspberries and black berries, top with a bit of a crunchy cereal (like kashi lean, grape nuts, or anything with crunch) - and enjoy!

    I'm not a fan of it either... I don't know what the hype is. I ended up using the ones I bought and made smoothies out of them lol

    yes - it's all disgusting IMO. I haven't found a greek yogurt worth taking a second bite of. Sad, because I really wanted to get on the bandwagon and LOVE it. I especially like how much protein you get, but alas it all tastes like someone else's 3 day old vomit to me.

    good luck!

    If you are used to that sugary fake yogurt, no it won;t taste the same. However, you can add a it of fruit or granola. I sometimes just add a stevia and real vanilla extract. I like the creamier consistency, but miles vary and all that. Chobani and FAGE are my favs.

    The first time I tried it, I didn't like it. I now eat it almost every day. I buy the plain Chobani and add my own fresh fruit. :)

    The chobani is good. I don't care for the plain vanilla but I get the fruit kind and add my own fruit like blueberries or strawberries. Also, I try and get the kind with more fat in it. I know it has a few more calories, but not many. And when you eat that kind it is so rich and creamy it fills you up. Makes me feel like I am having a treat.

    I like it. I can eat it plain no problem, but i like mine with a tbls of no sugar added smuckers or I like honey flavored. I think it's all personal preferance.

    Try Fage, thick creamy consistency with a cream taste without the "twang" of regular yogurt. I get the kind with the little cup section of fruit in it. Very yummy...the only yogurt I eat now besides ciobani, it's good too.

    i love greek yoghurt, but it is only one brand that is my favourite, and it has to be full fat, the low fat is rubbish... but the one brand i love is just sensational... it's an australian brand, so that won't help you.

    i add a little bit of honey and dip sliced apple into it, and it is equivalent for me to eating icecream, i really enjoy it..

    I've found most Greek yogurt to he rather bitter and yucky, BUT I do really enjoy the Greek Gods brand. They have a honey sweetened variety that is super tasty, and the plain can be turned into ranch dip with just a few herb/spices. Good stuff!

    I am not a fan but eat it anyway! Chobani pomegranate is my favorite and the Dannon brand is good, especially if you put fresh fruit in the vanilla!

    I like it mixed with almond butter or you could use peanut butter, if its t:smile: oo sour add honey or splenda.
    some brands have a muddy texture however, Fage and Liberte (canada) are the best Ive found.
