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.

    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.
