    Chobani is good. I mix in granola or fruit, too.

    I like the Oikos, either vanilla or honey. Usually about 13g protein for a 5.3oz cup.

    Greek yogurt is usually more tart than what you might be used to, and the ones with fruit don't cover that well. The vanilla and honey flavors do.

    I like Cabot. It's a little cheaper than Chobanni. I mix it with granola. It's a super delicious breakfast!

    I've tried most of the brands and they are all good- even the store brand (we have Winn Dixies here!).... much yummier than regular yogurt!!!

    Hated it for moons-- "that Greek crap," was my favorite name for it-- but it definitely grows on you. I like Chobani, and have tried some cheaper store brand that was good, too-- I like a touch of honey, some walnuts-- delish.

    Lately I've been eating the Traditional Full Fat GREEK GODS brand. I'll mix in some blueberries, slivered almonds, and 1tbsp honey. It's amazing. About 190 cals total. Mmmmmmm.

    I did Oikos for a long time and it was fine. I then moved on to Chobani. More flavors and honestly a better flavor after I tried it for a while.

    Greek yogurt is an acquired taste. It has about twice the amount of protein as regular yogurt. The plain kind is the best for you because the flavored kinds have a ton of sugar. If you add berries & granola to plain Greek yogurt it is good. I like Oikos or Chobani, but the Kroger brand isn't bad either.

    Chobani Strawberry Bananna is my all time favorite or the mango is really good too. I have a different flavor each day for breakfast cause the protein keeps me full for a long time and its really tasty. Let me know what you think.

    I like pretty much all of them, but you should be aware that the tastier ones have a lot of fat. Ha. But really, check the label.

    I eat Dannon Oikos regularly. It has 0 fat and good protein. You can get it plain, with honey, or fruit on the bottom.

    i started out with the chobani with fruit and fell in love. i've also had dannon (not my fav). as far as plain, i've had chobani, greek god, and fage. i like them all and usually substitute the plain as sour cream because it does have a tangier flavor. for breakfast, i'll add berries and a little agave.

    Yeah - Yoplait greek is not very good. Kinda chalky.

    Athenos (flavored) is really low sugar ... but good (Wal-Mart). I like the pineapple the best. Containers are not very tall, but are bigger around than other brands.

    Chobani is good too.

    I like the Oikos, either vanilla or plain, I find the honey one too sweet.

    They are pricey but woth it in my opinion.

    I hated it at first too. It tasted like bitter sour cream. Now I really enjoy it. Currently eating the Stonyfield farms Oikos because it has more protein but Chobani with the fruit flavors is also tasty. I add Bare Naked Granola and it is yummy. If you really can't stand it though, don't force yourself to eat anything you don't enjoy.

    I just started eating Chobani and love it! I tried the ones with fruit on the bottom... strawberry is my favorite! I might try some other less expensive brands... been wanting to try honey. :)

    The pay-off is great, espeically the fat-free, but if you don't find the right mixture of add-ins, it can be light eating sour cream. I mix in fresh fruit - raspberries, blueberries, apple, etc. - and count in 1/2 cup of the fruit along with the 6oz serving of yogurt. It really does give you a good fill up. I've only tried Chobani, so far.

    I like mine mixed in with my hot cereal in the morning: oatmeal, or Red River cereal.

    I have tried all the brands available in my area and have found the Fage 2% to be the better one. I always get the plain so I can add in what I want. I use honey most of the time. Granola & fruits are good too.

    I also like Oikos it's made by Dannon & is more mild in flavor not tart like some of the others. I like the Vanilla & Key Lime flavors.

    I love the FAGE 0%... texture and taste is great. You can add a few berries to it if you like to change it up. I even dip my reduced fat wheat thins in it LOL

    I love the Oikos honey one the best! But the blueberry is really good too :)

    I like Dannon, but I've also found two generics that are very good-Aldi's Friendly Farms brand and Hannaford/Sweetbay's Taste Inspirations brand.
