    oikos PLAIN for me. i hated the taste for the first couple days....now i'm used to it and dont even need to add honey or anything.
    if you can suck it up and deal, i think that's your best option health-wise.

    I love all yogurt but greek is my favorite. I eat plain with blueberries for breakfast everyday and what I like is that it keeps me full until snack or lunch. But watch labels because there are a couple with really high fat contents.

    I loves me my greek yogurt.

    I'll pour a dab of agave or maple syrup on the surface and stir it up then eat directly from the container.

    AWE. SOME.

    I always thought Greek Yogurt was regular yogurt with more of the whey drained out of it. A few years back, I think it was Graham Kerr that used it in place of sour cream, by pouring it into cheesecloth, in a strainer, and allowed more of the whey to be released. But I could be wrong.

    Personally, I don't have a problem with using artificial sweeteners, so lately I've been opting for 'Light Vanilla' regular yogurt. I can have a container of that for 80 calories.

    I went on a Greek kick for a while, but all the flavored kinds (I don't care for plain, unflavored yogurt) were between 140-160 calories, with tons of sugar. I liked the way it tasted, but in the end I decided it just wasn't worth nearly double the calories/sugar as regular light yogurt.

    Yes, Greek has more protein, but I can get my protein in other ways.

    I prefer Greek yogurt. I like it with some unsweetened applesauce and topped with fibre one cereal for a mid morning snack.

    I have tried Greek yogurt but it wasn't quite my taste. It is also pretty costly and a lot more calories compared to Kroger's Carb Master yogurts I get. I don't really understand the attraction.

    The only Greek yogurt I like is Chobani, but I like Yoplait light and Dannon Activia as well. Truthfully the sugar content is about the same. I'm gearing back to just eating my Yoplait light and Activia. I add chopped walnuts to it and it fulls me up. Plus it's way more tastier then the Greek.

    I love greek yogurt and cannot eat the other anymore because of the texture. I use greek yogurt in everything and I even put a packet of dry ranch into a tub of Stonyfield Oikos plain 0% fat. It has much more protein and less sugar and it fills me up so I'm not constantly hungry.

    I used to eat regular but now that I'm eating Chobani I no longer like regular. It doesn't keep me full, has too much sugar and not enough protein.

    My favorite is Chobani Pineapple. (Fruit on bottom). It is Greek it is so rich and thick it almost taste like cheesecake. Sometimes I have it for a quick lunch. I also love Oikos Original strawberry. Greek is so good.

    Both! It just depends. Mostly greek anymore depending on the use and the brand. I use greek yogurt instead of sour cream. I take activia light yogurt and turn it into popsicles or stir in berries. Either one makes a good base for smoothies. Just make sure you are not getting one packed with extra sugar!

    I eat Dannon Activia and Greek yogurt...I can't stand other regular yogurts, too sickeningly sweet. I'll use plain Greek yogurt like sour cream, but also flavor it to eat for breakfast.
