How do you make Greek Yogurt not suck?

[joenali]

I use honey, granola, different fruits, etc. If you don't like it, don't eat it! There are also flavored Greek yogurts, but those contain a lot of sugar.

[dcannie]

the only thing i do w/ plain greek yogurt is use it as a sub for sour cream. sometimes i will put a few tablespoons into a smoothie, but no more than that otherwise i will taste it.

[katandkevin]

I can't eat Greek yogurt at all. I keep trying it hoping it will taste better and it never does. I have just stopped trying.

I mix it with vanilla protein powder for protein overload.

These are some good ideas also, I like the birthday cake flavor a lot: alifetobraggabout.blogspot.com/2012/01/hey-sugar-lets-talk-6-greek-yogurt.html

I don't mind the taste... Can't get past the thick texture.

[texassmith]

I eat the fruit on the bottom ones. I know they have a lot of sugar, but they are better than regular yogurt. I just can't choke down the plain.

[stingsharkruns]

I put grapes in it - but I also like it plain.. so the grapes might not help you out much.

I usually add honey, maple syrup or a bit of vanilla extract. The honey and maple syrup change the texture ever so slightly...

If you don't like it, don't eat it. There are plenty of other good foods out there filled with protein you can eat instead: eggs, cheese, regular yogurt, beans, nuts, etc. No sense trying to force yourself to like something just because you think you should.

If texture is an issue, blend it into a smoothie.

I add a little honey, and usually almonds. I love it. I'm not a fruit person, otherwise I would mix in fruit, or maybe even some 100% preserves or something.

[raeface]

I really like honey and chopped walnuts in mine. But sometimes I will use a packet of Truvia, it gives it sweetness without adding extra calories or sugar.

I buy frozen unsweeted fruit, let it thaw, blend it up, and add a few spoonsful plus milled flaxseed and a tsp or two of Splenda.

[lightbulbsun]

I eat the fruit at the bottom, but it's extra sugar. I also add granola sometimes.

That's an awesome idea! OP, I mix it with any fruit that's sweet and juicy. At the moment, that is mango and honeydew. Anything that takes the bite down just a bit, works for me.

Why force yourself to eat something you don't like? There are lots of ways to get protein that don't include greek yogurt.

[ebeth]

if you're just in it for the protein, then mix it into a smoothie or something. it's also a good sub for mayo and sour cream.

I go through phases with greek yogurt. right now I have no interest in it. When I do eat it I put some frozen cherries in the bottom of a tupperware, add the yogurt to the top and it's ready to eat the next day. this requires planning ahead which is not always my strong suit.

[SallyJ]

I don't like the plain. The only brand I eat is Chobani in either very berry or honey nana flavors. It's taken time to adjust to the texture, but I like the tangy taste.

[jgleespen]

I mix in fruit salad (berries, cherries, strawberries, and pineapple) with mine and really like that.

But if you don't like it, don't force yourself to eat it! You can always do cheese, nuts, etc for protein as well

If you're lactose intolerant, get your protein elsewhere. A handful of nuts, eggs, protein powder in smoothies...

[Deleted]

I add flax seed and honey to it and it really helps. I only eat the 0% as I have lactose issues also.

[breezy8407]

I like it plain, but also enjoy the flavored varieties. Chobani vanilla is my favorite. The fage with fruit are good too, but like PP's said why force it? I hate peas but don't eat them even though they are good for me.

[sadlebred]

Fage plain. I hate all other plain varieties. I add one pack of Splenda and as many blueberries (blackberries, raspberries, pieces of fruit) that I can cram in there. Yum!

[ckinla]

It makes me gag, I cannot eat it. There are other ways to get protein if you don't like it!

[jgleespen]

Have you tried the 2% varieties? I never used to like the plain 0%, so I started with the fage 2% (with honey, so delicious!) and then just continued from there.

[archaeominx]

I've never gotten the plain, just the ones with fruit or vanilla. I also prefer it with some granola mixed in. The texture definitely took some getting used to.
