    Chobani strawberry/bannana is my favorite greek yogurt! I sometimes add a little bit of granola and because it's packed with alot of protein, it keeps me full pretty long. It does have a thicker texture then other yogurts, so if u can get past the texture, greek yogurt is the way to go!

    I like both, but Greek is far better nutritionally. I personally don't mind the tart taste - I love to throw in fruit or granola or honey. If the taste or thickness is an issue for you, try doing what I do sometimes and use it in a smoothie. For instance, this morning I made this smoothie, and it's delicious!

    12 oz Simply Orange high pulp orange juice (155 calories)
    2 scoops Herbalife Wild Berry powder (90 calories)
    75 g fresh organic strawberries
    4 oz nonfat strawberry greek yogurt
    50 g fresh banana

    All this makes a high-protein, high-potassium, low-fat breakfast with a decent amount of fiber. It'll keep me full through lunch, easily!

    I prefer Greek but I make it myself by draining regular yogurt through a funnel.

    Here is how: place a coffee filter in the funnel. Place the funnel in the top of a glass or some container and then put your yogurt in the filter-lined funnel. Cover the top with Saran wrap and refrigerate. The liquid drains out into the container, and a couple hours later: voila! Greek yogurt and for a lot less than store bought.

    Then I add fresh fruit--yummy!!

    Thanks for the great ideas for using it. I have never put it in place of sour cream or mayo.I might try it in homemade cole slaw!

    I don't like the Greek yogurt. I've tried it twice, and I just can't like it. I don't know if it's the consistency or what... :/

    Greek yogurt is hands down my favorite - I love how easily it can go savory or sweet! Just this morning I had Fage 0% Plain Greek Yogurt with a little honey, blueberries and strawberries and some granola - great hot summer breakfast! But it's great in place of mayonnaise or sour cream in a lot of circumstances too (slaws, tuna salad, etc.).

    ^^^ This - I'm definitely Team Greek :happy:

    I'm not a huge fan of greek yogurt, weird taste! However, I have just got some that I actually like! They are actually advertised for kids, and are called "Champions". I like the flavor and they are the perfect size! 100cals per yogurt.

    Chobani all the way baby. I buy it in bulk at BJs and eat one every morning.

    I have no desire to eat "regular" yogurt again.

    Greek! I just discovered Fage 0%. My favorites are the blueberry acai and cherry pomegrante. I used to eat Chobani but stumbled upon a blog saying that Fage was the absolute best. I thought, no way, but I'll give it a try. Now I'm hooked.

    I've tried about 4 different Greek yogurt brands but I can't tolerate it unless I mix it with fruit to make a smoothie. Otherwise it makes me gag. I think it's a texture thing because it is so thick.

    I like both, but I mostly eat Greek these days. I opt for the plain Greek with stevia (or agave or maple syrup) and fresh fruit. It makes a great breakfast.

    Definitely Greek yogurt. Use it very frequently to make my tuna salad with some dijon, lemon juice and celery
