Yep...I finally bought some of this greek yogurt I keep hearing everyone talk about. I'm braving it for breakfast tomorrow. I've always had a texture issue with yogurt, but since I've conquered cottage cheese, I'm hoping w/ some added granola to the yogurt it will be yummy to me.

Anyone add anything else to their yogurt?

    I love it for breakfast with fruit and then I top it with freshly toasted sliced almonds!

    The almonds crackle when they hit the cold yogurt, like rice krispies on steroids! :laugh:

    mmmmmmmmmm, I know what I am having in the morning :wink:

    I like to add craisins to my yogurt. But the one thing I always had, especially if I'm just eating it plain, is some kind of sweetener like Splenda or Equal. Greek yogurt is great because it's a lot creamier than regular yogurt, but it does lack the sweetness.

    I think that you will find the texture more appealing than regular yogurt. I liken it to ice cream but not frozen! You will get what I mean when you try it!

    I love it plain. Had it twice today. I don't think it needs sweetness. I have added honey. Stevia and cinnamon. I also eat it with walnuts and raisins if I am craving sweet. It is amazingly satisfying!

    Some people use cucumber and mint and make the traditional greek cucumber salad.

    Let us know how you like it! It's a love affair with me.......:heart::heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

    I like a little granola and fresh berries in mine.

    It is also good with some dill and garlic to spread over steamed carrots and zucchini or as a dip.

    I tried okios today. It bothered my tummy. Fage is the only yogurt that does not trigger my LI.
