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. :P

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.

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.

I haven't read all the post on this thread so sorry if this has been stated already. 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...

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>

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.

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 :)

Cool tip, I never would have thought of adding Crystal Light. Yeah, the greek yogurt is bitter, sweetener would help-Duh, I never even thought of it! Ha ha :D

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

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!

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
