Please tell me what kind you like. I am looking for one that has some sweetness. I bought the Chobani vanilla and add granola but the taste is just ok.

Thanks,
Christine

    I get an off brand of vanilla but I think I may just buy plain from now. the taste doesn't bother me at all.

    You can get plain yogurt and use it in place of a lot of things http://media-cache-ec4.pinterest.com/upload/14496030020747706_6tVjpsne_f.jpg

    If you're eating it plain for a snack,
    fruit, nuts, flaxseed, chia, honey, stevia, unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut, nutella

    I get plain. I don't like flavoured. I use it mainly for my smoothies. Once they only had honey. I hated it.

    Plain. Flavored has sugar - that defeats the purpose.

    I like the chobani flavors a lot. the vanilla was too much for me. I havee a freind that uses the plain to cook with, to make sauces and things like that.

    We started eating plain because of Jillian Michaels diet plan...and we just add a tblspn of low sugar strawberry jelly...makes it much better!

    Trader Joe's is much better than Chobani, but if it's the tang you don't like, you're out of luck.

    I didn't really like the Chobani vanilla either, but I love the Dannon Oikos Vanilla. I've not eaten any plain so I cannot speak to that one.

    I hate the taste of plain yogurt, particularly Greek. I prefer the taste of the Oikos brand over Chobani. Sometimes I do get the flavored, other times I get the plain and add some fruit (love pineapple and or blueberries) and/or a Stevia packet.

    Plain. Add honey or fruit to make it sweet. Check the label you will be shocked how much sugar is in any of the flavors.

    I prefer Oikos over chobanni and I don't like the plain and I love the flavored. I adore the honey. Fage has a wonderful honey. Only like pineapple and peach in the chobanni.

    Plain. Much more versatile. You can add fruit and stevia or honey for a sweet treat or savory spices for dipping with veggies. Greek yogurt is sour (as yogurt is supposed to be) and you can also use the plain as a health-packed substitute for sour cream for any recipe- tacos, dips, whatever.

    I get Fage Plain. I add my own stevia for sweetness/flavoring, with nuts/granola/fruit...YUM!

    Thanks everyone. It appears the Oikos has a better flavor so I will buy and try that.
