    alone, the chobani is too sour for me. I blend it with a banana and what ever fruit sounds good at the time and I swear that it is no longer like eating sour cream. Keep with the plain, you can change it according to your taste AND you control exactly what additives go in. Win win

    The Chobani Pineapple is my favorite!

    THANKYOU EVERYONE FOR THE RESPONSES!! :) I appreciate it!

    I have tried the Pineapple flavor once, and I did like it.. I just wanted to try the plain so it wasn't as high on sugar. I'll def. try to possibly add some honey or agave nectar to give it a boost! :)

    Chobani is by far the most superior tasting healthy daily treat I've come across

    you must sweeten it up. my favorite combo for plain chobani is honey (about a tablespoon) and 1/4 cup granola with some sort of dried fruit in it (raisins or cranberries). that turns it from being gross to just plain heaven.

    pretty sure the bran cereal is where you went wrong. blech! frozen fruit, a little honey and granola, pumpkin butter or cinnamon applesauce ROCKS with plain yogurt.(there is no butter in pumpkin butter, its kinda like pie filling but healthier?)

    try adding a packet or two of "Stevia in the Raw" to it first and stir it in really well then add the other things. I eat some version of fat free greek yogurt (including Chobani) every day and add fresh fruit with the stevia and i really enjoy it. Try it this way and see if that fixes the sour for you. best of luck!

    omg...this is blasphemous... Chobani is THE best!

    honey, perhaps? I like their varieties with fruit on the bottom (peach and pineapple in particular) when i'm too busy to put my own in

    Completely agree.

    Buy a flavored chobani. What were you expecting from plain yogurt?

    Lol everyone has their own opinions, some agree and some disagree. I wasn't "expecting" anything from greek yogurt, for this being my first time and reading some good reviews on the plain one I figured to give it a try, and to put my opinion on it on tips on how to make it taste a bit better.. it was a bit sour!

    I use the non-fat plain yogurt as a garnish or sub for sour cream, it works WONDERFULLY! Or I'll use it in a smoothie, but even in my smoothies I have to add some sort of sweetner because I like sour cream, but not in a smoothie! LOL

    I always buy the flavored varieties with the fruit in the bottom as well. It is my staple for breakfast most days. I really like the blueberry and black cherry flavors. I've never tried the plain though. A friend of mine puts granola in the fruit varieties as well. I just eat the fruit varieties alone.

    Add truvia to it or splenda... :) It needs some added sweetness.

    I hated it...until I tried it with sugar free jello mix and froze it :)

    I couldn't eat the plain at first; it took time to acclimate my taste buds. I love, love, LOVE the fig though!

    What!? Chobani Greek yogurt is the least sour tasting. I stay away from plain yogurts though. Greek or non Greek plain yogurts gross me out. The best tasting Chobani yogurts are ones that have fruit on the bottom. I've tried adding my own fruit and it still grosses me out. The health heads would say yogurts with fruit on the bottom are not good for you but it's a great way to ease yourself in to the Greek yogurt world. : )

    I agree that the plain chobani can be a little sour. The best greek yogurt out there is definitely Fage 2%. You won't be disappointed.

    Agreed!!! Fage 2% rules the greek yogurt world.

    So today was my first time trying Chobani's Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt.. (7g sugar, 18g protein). I added 1/2 a cup of Fiber One original bran cereal to it, and a couple of sliced up strawberries.. 182 cals total for lunch. It did fill me up, however it was gross.. a bit too sour for me..

    Any other options to add to this yogurt? I did get the non-fat plain.. what are your favorite recipes with greek yogurt and that is HEALTHY..

    The Chobani, Oikos, Dannon and Yoplait (so called greek yogurt) are all gross.

    In fact, I can only eat full fat Fage greek yogurt or Mountain High full fat plain milk yogurt. Those are the only 2 I like.

    The Chobani Pineapple is my favorite!

    That one is really good. Last night I had the blueberry one with some Vanilla Almond Clusters cereal from Trader Joe's....very tasty.

    I like adding fruit to the fruit on the bottom ones....but a contrasting flavor....for instance I had the pomegranite with some banana, the pineapple one with some cherries, the black cherry one with a white nectarine...all very good combos.

    I love Chobani! Their pineapple is my absolute favorite! I can't get enough of it. I just tried the mango today and it was pretty darn good. My daugher loves the black cherry too.

    I am not so sure plain anything tastes good. I don't think plain Chobani would either. So try the stuff with the fruit. I like it better than fage or yoplait or dannon. Their greek is runny and tasteless to me.

    plain greek yogurt is my "WHIP CREAM" LOL........I put fresh berries/peaches/mango or any fruit & also add 1/4 c...naked fruit & nut granola, yummy as can be (for me) but the calories do add up, so gotta be careful ;-)))

    Add a crystal light drop in to plain Greek yogurt. I have also read you can stir in sugar free jello powder to taste.

    yes the sugar free jello is good. Ive tried the cheesecake and banana pudding--yummy. Never tried the crystal light. Will have to tyr.

    I only use plain Chobani in my scrambled eggs or as a substitute for sour cream or mayo. The fruit on the bottom varieties of Chobani are delicious!!

    I've put this reply on a couple of Greek yogurt threads already- my method is mixing in jam. It makes the yogurt both sweet and fruity, and mixes into every bite unlike mixing in chopped fruit. I use less than a tablespoon of jam for my usual 6oz of yogurt, so generally less than 50 calories to oomp up the flavor! It's sort of like do-it-yourself fruit on the bottom where you have better control over the sugar content.

    I agree!! Very yummy. The Crystal Light fruit punch is great, I also like the lemon aid. You just sprinkle a small amount and stir. :)

    I eat Chobani, but make sure you ALWAYS check the contents before eating it. I have heard from 3 different people that they found mold in their yogurt. They were all within their expiration date, but were moldy. Maybe it's the the lid. I had one where the lid was not attached properly, like there was no glue halfway around the top. That being said, I love the pineapple and lemon flavors.

    Personally I like to mix apples, sultanas and honey into my greek yoghurt.

    Weight Watchers here in the UK do a good 'convenience' yoghurt for lunchboxes etc - 6.8g of sugar, 0.2g fat, 5g protein, 52 calories per pot. Other 'healthy' single pot yoghurts can have up to 35g sugar in!

    I don't like the Chobani brand either. However, I do love the Yopliant Greek and the Dannon Greek yogurts.
