I have never been much of a yogurt person (except for frozen yogurt), and I decided to try greek yogurt. I forget the name of the brand I got, but it was really thick and not very sweet. Maybe I will try the one you mentioned

I use plain, non-fat greek yogurt (usually Fage) as a replacement for sour cream. My husband couldn't tell the difference. It's so much healthier for you because of the protein and no fat.

I also add berries to non-fat, plain greek yogurt. I love the tanginess of it. Regular yogurt is too sweet. I think we've gotten used to overly sweet yogurt. Retrain your taste buds!

I am guessing you bought the plain greek yogurt which is not sweet at all. I add fresh or frozen (thawed ) berries to mine and also a little erythritol or stevia to help sweeten it up a bit.

I have also added vanilla or strawberry flavored protein powder to it. That adds flavor and sweetness to it.

Stick with trying different options. Greek yogurt is so much better for you than regular yogurt.

Hope that helped!

I LOVE greek yogurt- but not all of them. Im a huge fan of Fage and Oikos. Chobani is too gritty for me and some of the others are just a little too watery. The Fage has probably the least bitter taste. When i first started eating it i had to mask the flavor with fruit or granola, but after I adjusted to the taste I started to like eating it plain as well.

It wasnt an immediate love for me... but its love now! Everyday at 1030am- greek yogurt time!

Oikos is the only brand of Greek yogurt we have in my house. It's really good, and it's ORGANIC. We've been trying to go as organic and clean as possible. We even avoid sugar and artificial sweeteners, so we use Stevita brand Stevia instead. It's actually the only brand we've found so far with no bitter aftertaste. So much better for you than all the crap they're putting out there these days and passing off as good for you! We're not vegetarians and don't go crazy with everything having to be organic all the time, but when we have the option, we've found that it works better for us.

I have tried all the greek yogurts out there and good 'ol Dannon has been my favorite. I get vanilla and put granola and almonds in it. I eat it almost everyday as one of my small meals. It has the perfect texture. Can't stand the ones that are watery, which to me are all the others! Don't think I could eat it without my granola and almonds, though.
