I've heard that It's really gross but sometimes I hear people like it. What are some good kinds, and what's your personal preference? I was thinking about trying it, but with added blueberry's or other fruit

    I buy the Fage 0% but I can't eat it completely plain. I buy the one that comes with Honey. It's 170 calories for a decent sized serving and its pretty delicious with the honey mixed in. It's nearly impossible to mix it completely so you still taste plain yogurt sometimes...but its not bad when its just once in awhile. I could never eat a full serving plain.

    I eat the Oikos organic fat free plain greek yogurt. I stir fresh fruit into it.

    FAGE with any kind of fruit or honey is perfect!!
    I don't like Oikos.

    I do not like "regular" yogurt, but LOVE greek yogurt. The Chobani Pomegranate is great!

    In my opinion plain greek yogurt makes a way better savory food, like with garlic for a sauce :)

    I tried it yesterday with blueberries and strawberries mixed in but I still had to add a bit of honey. It's so good for the protein count but it's not something I could eat plain.

    Oh, and I bought Fage brand.

    I've liked using it in place of sour cream in veggie/meat wraps in the past, Chobani brand is the one I've used.

    I like all of the Fage Total 0 flavors. With the exception of the honey flavored one, they all range from 120 to 130 calories. I also like the plain, but usually add fresh blackberries or blueberries to it.

    I like any kind of plain greek yogurt. They are all pretty much alike maybe just a little difference in consistency. Yesterday, i added pomegranate seeds and a Tbspn of Honey and it was delicious! You can also add some granola or any kind of fresh fruit! Just be careful with Granola, it can be costly in the calorie catagory!

    BTW, I just finished my afternoon snack of Plain Greek Yogurt. Plain. Nothign added. LOVE IT!

    At lunch I had soup and a cup of greek plain yogrt. I'd dip my spoon in yogurt then in the soup. Kinda like a sour cream!

    I use greek gods brand. its got this nice sour taste to it, its super creamy and goes well with fruit.

    add a table spoon of your favorite jam and some fruite as well :D

    also greek yogurt is great for making chicken salad with (good for sandwiches) or even as a replacement for mayo.
    i use half light mayo and half greek yogurt on things to keep the fat down. :D

    The best greek yogurt I've ever had is the full fat kind from Trader Joes. With a touch of honey it's glorious.

    Plain greek yogurt is really good as a sour cream substitute and it's a really good way to make cheesecake healthier :)

    I love Fage 0%. It is not like normal yogurt, but I think that's a good thing. It is very creamy and delicious. I either buy the strawberry and blueberry varieties or add a little honey.

    I tried the "Greek" brand before and couldn't even finish it.

    I like Fage with sugar free jam mixed in for flavor. Tastes great and has alot less sugar than flavored varities. Also like it in place of using sour cream, or with chili sauce mixed in for a great dip for chicken

    I will add a packet of stevia and some strawberry extract to mine. Any kind of extract works well, but it gets expensive. What I save on carbs is worth it though!

    Chobani and Fage are good. Yoplait for plain or honey. Sometimes for a treat at night (and high protein for that!) I mix cocoa powder and honey with plain. It reminds me of ice cream. Greek Yogurt has way more protein than the regular yogurts. Another
    way to use it is with chili powder, lime juice, and honey, mix well for salad dressing or Vegie Dip. Watch the chili powder amount! :)
