    Try adding some Truvia sweetner or/and some fruit.
    The vanilla flavor is good...but I still need to add something sweet. Is good in place of sour cream.
    I agree that Okios vanilla flavor tastes better than Chobani.

    Thanks for the dip recipe! Does anyone know of any healthy way to make the dip creamier? I add a bit of low fat mayo but that sort of defeats the purpose.

    Love the Oikos caramel; dessert! and lighter consistency and less tart than some.

    I have started buying two yogurts - one greek and one lowfat plain. Mix as much of the regular yogurt as needed to get a creamier texture. It takes away some of the tartness also.

    I buy plain Fage 0% or Trader Joe's fat free Greek yogurt. A couple squirts of honey takes out the tartness. Also try mixing in fresh fruit (berries, especially) or some natural preserves/jam. Another mix-in I use is a green food supplement called Amazing Grass. Comes in a couple of flavors and is 30 calories per scoop (has spirulina, wheat grass, etc.) - I like the orange dreamsicle flavor.

    Besides eating it plain, I use yogurt as a substitute for oil in recipes (breads, cakes, etc.).

    Oikos lime tastes JUST LIKE key lime pie, and I am not a huge greek yogurt fan in general. I'm gonna try freezing it and adding some graham cracker crumbs on top to make my own little pie. I also like the Yoplait greek vanilla and honey with strawberries and granola for a parfait. Yum!

    Try mixing fruit juice into it. That worked for me, I used apple juice.

    I mix in one of the sugar-free dark chocolate Jello pudding cups and about 5 packets of splenda. THAT makes it good. It's way too sour to eat w/o jazzing it up and maybe some people like it that way but I haven't met them yet!

    I have to agree with everyone that's recommended Chobani. I initially didn't like greek yogurt either, but a friend recommended Chobani and I tried it. It's really good and this is coming from someone that's picky when it comes to yogurt.

    So yesterday I picked up some greek yogurt to try a recipe out. Basically it was just a cup of yogurt, a scoop of vanilla protein powder and cocoa power mixed together.

    It looked good but it tasted gross...I decided to "spice it up" a bit by pouring some of my favorite cereal into it. That made it bare-able to eat but still not something that I would want to eat again.

    So my question is, how do you make this stuff taste good? I was hoping I could turn it into some kind of high protein dessert dish.

    haha, I think some people just have the taste buds for it....I can't stand it, it makes me literally gag, and the only way I was able to finish one cup was to add a ton of frozen blueberries that I had. to the point where it was mostly blueberries with some yogurt.

    i sometimes mix
    Plain FF Chobani yogurt with 1/2 scoop of cookies and cream protein powder and it is delicious... the more powder you add the thicker it becomes almost pudding like.. yum

    I recently tried
    Plain FF Chobani greek yogurt with a tablespoon of Milk Chocolate Heath bar bits and it is AMAZING. I think It would be amazing as frozen yogurt as well.

    I plan on trying it with Freeze dried strawberries.

    I like to use the plain as a dip by adding herbs, or as a sour cream substitue. I made egg salad with it today insread of mayo. It was pretty good but had a little tang to it. My 6 year old and my DH gobbled it up!

    I add one of the sugar-free jello dark chocolate pudding cups and 5 packets of splenda to it to make it a thick chocolate yogurt. It reminds me a bit of chocolate cheesecake.

    depends on the brand. I found some brands are just too sour creamy. I like greek goddess and fage that can be found at costco. i buy the frozen berry blend put some over the greek yogurt and let it defrost over the yogurt. you can add some quinoa crunch a recipe from jillian micaels to replace granola for less calories and it take like desert. I promise. The brand matters. try some honey or agave syrup till you get used to it.
