    I find flavoured yoghurts too high in sugar, and too sweet - I love the plain stuff.

    I have it for breakfast with some walnuts, ginger, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

    I blitz a tablespoon or 2 with some peppered mackerel fillets for a great spread or dip. Raita is another super dip - grated cucumber and chopped mint with the yoghurt.

    BUT

    some people really don't like the taste or texture - my fiance wouldn't eat yoghurt if you paid him!

    If you can find NOOSA by you it is THE BEST! but Chobani is my second choice!

    I'm not a big yogurt person, but I'm using it to keep me regular now. I eat Chobani too and it's eh, okay. It does remind me a lot of sour cream until I stir up the fruit from the bottom. I put 1/4 cup of granola in it to give me that crunch that I love, but man, after all that, it's 340 calories! I could think of better ways to spend those calories, but I'm learning to like it.

    I like to thaw out frozen cherries in a bowl and then mix in the Greek yogurt. The frozen cherries make lots of juice when they thaw, so the flavors mix nicely. Recently I've been mixing a scoop of chocolate protein powder and a little milk with it to make a chocolatey treat.

    When I start craving buttermilk ranch on my salads, I mix up a batch of this:

    1 six oz cup of greek style 0% fat yogurt
    1/2 cup nonfat buttermilk
    1/4 cup reduced fat mayonaise
    2 Tbls white wine vinegar
    1/2 tsp garlic powder (not garlic salt, but powder)
    1/2 tsp black pepper (use fresh ground peppercorns for the best taste)
    dash of salt (optional)
    3 Tblspoons of fresh dill weed (or target sells fresh frozen dill in the produce section and it works great)

    You can either mix them in a blender or with an electric mixer or with a whisk.

    I LOVE greek yogurt, but didnt at first.
    My favorite is Fage because its thicker than the others. I also like the trader joes brand as well. I only get the plain fat free and usually add a little cinnamon, a tsp of ground flaxseed and a packet of stevia. I will also on occasion add a couple tbsp of raisins or a 1/4 cup fiber one cereal.
