laurajean1 1 Posted March 9, 2011 I am not a big greek yogurt fan either; I'm not a fan of any sort of yogurt, something about the texture and consistency. Could you try to add more fruit to it? Maybe a sugar free sweetener, honey, or agave nectar? Add it to a Protein shake? I know some people use it as a dip and add garlic, onions, etc. Or try a sweeter dip with cream cheese, fruit, etc. I'll stick to my ricotta/cottage cheese for my Protein. i just bought a bunch of chobonies vanilla yougurt,not crazy about it,but i also bought some strawberries that were on sale at the same time,i cut up 2 of the berries and add a sweet and low and it tastes pretty good.i just love regular youdurt though.

Lisa99 1 Posted March 9, 2011 I actually like plain greek yogurt, taste like sour creame so it goes on my Soups, Beans, etc! I use the vanilla one in my shakes! I've completely replaced sour cream in all recipes with fat free FAGE greek yogurt. Mixed with salsa it makes a great salad dressing for chicken fajita salad, it works in in beef stroganoff, great on tacos, etc... It's taken a bit to convert DH to yogurt instead of sour cream but when I showed him the calorie and fat difference he was good with it. You can get a 32 oz tub of it at costco for about $6 so it's a great buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've grown to really like the chobani plain I flavor it for whatever my taste are. I use a little spleda sweeten to taste, then I had whatever crystal light flavor I'm in the mood for, becareful not add too much. I've also added some no carb fruit spreads and honestly I prefer this now over the premixed yogurts.. Who would've thought... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corinnerae 0 Posted March 10, 2011 I had never really been a fan of Greek yogurt, but I really like the Chobani brand, especially the honey flavor. I usually add a 1/8 of raw almonds for crunch and texture. I am not a fan of Breakfast in general, so this is what I eat almost every weekday for Breakfast.< /span> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnic87 0 Posted March 10, 2011 Not sure if anyone has mentioned this or not.I eat the carbmasters yogurt. I get it fom my local Krogers 80 cal and 12g of protein.They have really good flavors! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
libbylovesdogs 0 Posted March 12, 2011 I love the Fage plain greek yogurt. I mix some equal into it and every now and then I will add some fruit. The chobani was good as well, but it gave me a weird aftertaste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spoiltmom 44 Posted March 12, 2011 My favorite is the Chobani brand it is so good. I especially like the Chobani pineapple but it's the hardest one to find:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattie7632 24 Posted March 12, 2011 I add a scoop of light cool whip or a squirt of canned whipped cream, mix it up and, bingo! You have a tasty mousse!!! It's nothing like "greek yogurt" once you've done this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the greek yogurt is bitter, sweetener would help-Duh, I never even thought of it! Ha ha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kshallow 9 Posted March 13, 2011 I looooove the kroger brand carbmaster yogurt as mentioned above by dnic. Depending on the flavor, you can get them in either 60 or 80 cals. ( the 80 cals do have a little higher protein) I love the carrot cake flavor, it tastes like pumpkin pie filling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeelingGroovy 2 Posted March 13, 2011 I like the fage greek yogurt. I like both the 0% and 2% fruit varieties...If I get plain I will add all fruit strawberry or peach. I love the sour cream like consistency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buggy22_us 0 Posted March 13, 2011 Ok, I am really trying to like this, but as I sit here I am forcing myself to eat it. This is the firsttime I have had this kind of yogurt. I usually eat the regular fat free and/or sugarfree kind. This is really bitter and kind of sour. I got the strawberry yoplait 2x Protein one. Maybe it will grow on me. Any suggestions of a better tasting brand? I have found that the Greek yogurt has the consistency of sour cream. What I have also found is that the Chobani Greek yougurt has 14 g. of Protein and doesn't taste as horrible as some of the others. They have peach, blueberry, strawberry, honey, black cherry and plain. No it's not the best but it does provide the biggest benefit we need... the protein... Here's to better tasting!

Melissannde 41 Posted March 14, 2011 I don't buy the fruited greek yogurts.. have you looked at the amount of sugars in those?? Wow.. undoing all the good by eating those. I get the plain greek yogurt. Chobani & Fage aren't available here.. I get the Dannon and sometimes the Yoplait (yeah I know some don't like, but I really can't tell the difference). I add fresh or frozen fruit to my plain yogurt and some splenda/equal/truvia (depends on what I have on hand). I also use the plain as a substitute for sour cream. I made chicken florentine last night and used the plain greek yogurt in it too. Was wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
