Greek Yogurt - You're Fav?

I am 2 weeks post-op today (yayyy), and I tried some Greek yogurt for the first time today - OIKOS Organic Greek yogurt (vanilla). I have to say that it's about the worst tasting yogurt I've ever had! I know that it's a healthier option for me (15g of protein in one serving), so I'm wondering which one is your favorite? Or if you have any suggestions on how I can improve the flavor.

  • My very favorite is the Fage non-fat plain! If I want sweet I add some fruit to it; if I want savory, I will chop up some tomato and cucumber in it, align with this Garlic pepper mixture I get from M

I really like Oikos rasberry flavored yogurt. It is yummy. It almost reminds me of a fruit-flavored spread that you can buy for toast.

I don't like the plain greek yogurt either. It works OK for a replacement in cooking or for sour cream though.

Fage Greek yogurt is my fav but all the Greek yogurt's taste like sour cream to me. I only eat it as a sour cream. I know a lot of people add fresh fruit and sugar substitutes to make it sweet like a normal yogurt but I still don't like the sour undertone.

Oikos Key Lime is pretty good, but I have tried them ALL and the only one I can tolerate on a regular basis is Chobani. My favorite flavors are Apple Cinnamon, Peach and Black Cherry. I find all the others to taste horrible!!

Stoneyfield Oikos organic honey. Preop I loved this stuff with sesame seeds and honey nut cheerios mixed in.

MY absolute fav is the greek gods brand and the Honey or Honey vanilla. It is high in fat but I have found I have been not stalling as much as I increase my cals a little this is my only fat splurge.

I absolutely love the Chobani greek yogurt: Black cherry, strawberry, and peach are all great flavors! Hope my taste buds don't change once I crossover to the losers bench!

I love just plain old any kind of yogurt. . . i don't like flavors, just plain. . . sorry

I'm a fan of the Yoplait high-protein coconut flavor. I like to dunk my BelVita Breakfast Cookies in there--tastes like cheesecake and is healthy! I usually eat 1/2 a container of the yogurt and 2 of the 4 cookies as a "mini-meal," and it's yummy!

Also you can doctor your own yogurt--either sweet or savory. For sweet, get some of those syrups from Monin or Torani (both have lots of sugar-free flavors if you prefer sugar-free--you can order on Amazon or get them at some groceries, World Market, or coffee shops) and/or Jello or pudding packets--just use a spoonful of the powder, stir in, and yum! You can use drink mix powder for this, too--or instant coffee.

For savory, stir in a couple of spoons of dip mix (ranch or onion), some instant Soup powder, salsa with or without extra herbs (cilantro, chives, chopped roasted garlic), or sriracha--makes a delicious dip for veggies (cucumber slices make good chips!), meat/chicken bites, crackers, whatever. Use it like sour cream. One of my favs is worchestershire sauce (just a couple drops!), some dehydrated onion flakes, a little salt, and a clove of smashed-up roasted garlic--voila! onion dip that reminds me of my childhood favorite but oh so much better!!

My very favorite is the Fage non-fat plain! If I want sweet I add some fruit to it; if I want savory, I will chop up some tomato and cucumber in it, align with this Garlic pepper mixture I get from Mountain Rose Herbs.

Lol really!? It's my favorite, it's almost like dessert to me!

For plain yogurt to mix and dressing or dips I use Fage. For eating I use Chobani with the fruit in it.

I get the nonfat and lowfat kind. The calorie difference is minimal.
