    To make plain Greek yogurt yummier, I add a little vanilla and honey as the base. Sometimes I eat it just like that or I add cinnamon, or fruit (usually berries or banana).

    Only 7g in my Yoplait Greek 100 vanilla. I can handle it.

    Little container = 5.3 oz (150 g)? Plain Chobani has 4 g of sugar.

    I have nonfat vanilla skyr for breakfast 5 or 6 days a week. Siggi's brand, 150 grams skyr and 17 grams berry cereal. Great breakfast!

    As for greek yogurt, I use it as an ingredient but never eat it on its own. I use it in place of mayo or sour cream. No, it's not the same, but in some cases it's an acceptable substitute. I do love greek yogurt with cucumber.

    Not really greek yoghurt but I'm a big fan of Skyr I can't believe how low calorie it is. It's so filling!

    I really dont understand when people say that. I could eat like 4 tubs of yogurt or skyr and go looking for food after. Having said that both are amazing but skyr nutrition wins.

    Yeah it doesn't fill me up unless I eat two cups of it maybe... That being said, the amazing meals you keep posting wouldn't fill me up either, lol.

    In trying to clean out the fridge I found a tub of (still within the 'use by' date) The Greek Gods Honey flavored greek yogurt. I don't recall when I bought it, but I opened the tub and observed that it appeared to be yogurt. I measured out 4 ounces and mixed in granola bits and berries.

    That was delicious.

    I have tried all kinds of Greek yogurt. I hate plain yogurt and I hate plain Greek yogurt. I only like vanilla yogurt. Lol. And the only kind of Greek yogurt I like is Stonyfield Farms French Vanilla Greek Yogurt. That's it. All other vanilla Greek yogurts taste gross with a weird aftertaste.
    For cooking in recipes I probably would not mind plain ordinary Greek yogurt. But not by itself or even with fruit. Shudder.

    I buy the plain stuff and add seasonings to make a veggie dip, or use it in place of sour cream in savory dishes.

    I like Fage brand plain, nonfat. I sweeten it with honey and mix in frozen blueberries or raspberries. A nice summer snack is a mixture of 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 cup frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup slivered almonds and 2 T. honey. Mix it all together and freeze in ice cube trays. Then I store it all in freezer bags. This is my ice cream substitute.

    Use it as a sour cream replacement in recipes including my favorite chipotle Alfredo sauce

    Ok I tried Greek Yogurt about a year ago and hated it. I see it in so many recipes and people seem to love it. Any ideas for a good tasting protein greek yogurt? Help.

    You can't eat Greek yogurt by itself. You need to add something to it or replace mayo or sour cream with it

    I have never tried to eat the yogurt plain, but I do buy the Chobani or Fage greek plain. I add anything from any type of fruit that I have on hand, pb powder, unsweetened cocoa, protein powder, chia, stevia, and I put a packet or two of stevia to sweeten it if I need it.

    It could just be the brands you've tried so far. Like I can't stand chobani, siggi's, and oikos, but I enjoy fage, cabot, and green mountain creamery. Also, there's a big flavor difference between nonfat, 2%, and whole milk Greek yogurt. Most brands have those single serving cups, so it's easy enough to buy a few and taste test.

    Greek yogurt is great in overnight oats, smoothies, and even as a replacement for mayonnaise in chicken or egg salad.

    Well if you eat it by itself by all means but it's acquired taste for most people

    If you don't love Greek yogurt try Quark. It's a cheese - but a yogurt consistency and super yummy without the tart flavor that Greek yogurts seems to have.

    Try dannon light n fit Greek. Yummy. Vanilla with chopped fresh berries is a dessert treat. Add extra protein powder if needed.
