    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.

    Thanks for the replies guys. Like some of you pointed out I was use to eating "regular" yogurt. I might try turning it into ranch dressing for veggies that would be a great idea. Never really thought about spiking it with truvia and some cut up bannana's.

    261 pounds is amazing.

    I get the Oikos brand and I use it instead of mayo sometimes and use it on baked potatoes and basically anything that needs a little moisture...i got the kind with fruit in the bottom and it made me want to throw up so I don't eat it unless I'm starving...I also like it with a little truvia and some cinammon

    The taste of greek yogurt caries by brand. I really like Fage or Cabot. Try mixing in some fruit preserves or almonds and honey.
    I also like a dab spread on toast with jam.

    If you don't like it then eat something else. There are plenty of healthy foods out there. I'm sure you can find some that you enjoy. Life is too short to eat food you don't like.

    I've tried several kinds, but like it best when I add my own granola and fresh blueberries or raspberries. YUM!
