    I just tried it for the first time the other day and love it. I am currently eating Oikos but will be looking into trying other brands to find a favourite.

    my husband and I just started eating the chobani on a regular basis and I really like it! I like the texture of the greek yogurt much better.... not a fan of the apple/cinnamon though....

    I'm not a fan of yogurt, but I really don't have trouble eating the chobani with the fruit on the bottom

    I agree with you, it was an aquired taste. I did a bunch of research before I made the leap to greek. The stuff I was reading about the amounts of calcium, vs sugars and calories, chobani was the best for having the most protiens, with the least amount of added sugars and sufficient calcium. I add granola or ground flax seedto mine and I can't ever imagine going back to plain yogurt again.


    enjoy.

    I don't particularly love the texture, and the taste is a bit...um...not sour, but different from regular yogurt. I personally like it as a substitute for sour cream or mayonnaise.

    The Greek yogurt brand the honey vanilla is the best. I add some slivered almonds. Yumm-o!! :)

    I like both Chobani and Dannon Oikos pretty much evenly - I love Chobani Strawberry Banana and Raspberry the most. Yoplait makes a Greek yogurt that may be more of a middle ground for you, but it's not really Greek yogurt (ie, it's not really strained like Fage, Chobani and Oikos; rather, it's thickened with protein powder and gelatin). It also tends to be higher in sugar and sodium.

    If you don't like it but do like regular yogurt, stick with what works for you and find your extra protein in other sources.

    i love oikos. I've tried strawberry and key lime. And I just got a blackberry, but haven't tried it yet.
    Sometimes instead of granola or walnuts I add cheerios or whole hearts by quaker as a treat. It's yummo!

    Voskos is the best, in my opinion. Fruit flavored is easiest to eat. But one cool trick is to use plain greek yogurt in lieu of Sour Cream in mexican dishes or as a base for onion or vegetable dip, etc. I'm not a big sour cream fan anyway but it works for me.

    Greek yogurt by itself is pretty hard to tolerate for me.....It is super great used in cooking though! If you use the greek yogurt with chicken to create a creamy curry it is absoultely delicious and the style gives it a bit more tang. Yum!

    I prefer Fage over Chobani (I get the 0%). Then I add fresh/frozen fruit and honey or molasses to taste. My favorite is frozen cherries warmed in the microwave so they have a little bit of juice to stir into the yogurt, yum!
    It does take a little while to get used to the different texture and flavor of Greek yogurt. I had to slowly reduce my honey over time (dont usually use it anymore).

    I have to say I am a big fan of Chobani. I didn't like it at first, but now I will not eat "regular" yogurt. I do have to say I tried "FAGE" greek yogurt one day and think I like it better than Chobani! The fruit and yogurt are separated so you can add as much or as little fruit to your yogurt as you like.

    Plain yogurt of any kind is horrible to me. Wouldn't eat it on a dare. I eat Chobani with fruit everyday though. Can't stand the watered down over sweetened regular yogurt anymore.

    It all tastes good to me, a friend of mine suggested adding a packet of sweetner(splenda, truvia, equal), it makes it taste so much better!!! I will never eat regular yogurt again!!
