I love the Müller fruit up ones but that is it. It has a fruit mousse on top. So good. These are delicious.

I'm not a huge yogurt fan either, but want to be.
Maybe I'll try TJ and Fage.

I used to love Chobani, until I found Fage, Mueller, and Greek Gods. Now those are some yogurts. My favorite was anything with fig. Yogurt and fig is the best combination to me. Unfortunately, I'm off sugar, so no more of that. Eventually I will add fruit back in to my diet, so if I can determine that any of those brands use fruit only with no additives, then I'm back on. If not, I'll just add my on fruit.
I still eat plain yogurt, I use it in place of sour cream. I see that I need to step that up a little bit, maybe start carrying some with me when I know I'm going to eat somewhere that I would order something with sour cream on it.

I love the FruYo, but I agree, the best is the plain with the little sidecar (love that!). Fage is the only Greek yogurt I'll buy.

I like fage too, sometimes I buy the Costco plain tub and mix it with their salted mixed nuts and just eat it like that with no honey, sometimes I just put in honey. It depends on whether or not I'm allowed sugars in my diet.

I also hated yogurt until I tried chobani. I couldn't eat it alone at first, though. I always mixed it with apples, strawberries, bananas, etc, until I got to where I could eat it by itself.

Fage rules. Chobani tastes like flippin' chalk. I have NEVER understood why it's the most popular selling brand; I believe it's from all their advertising. Runner up for Fage? Aldi's brand. MMMMMM! Yes I agree that Chobani tastes like chalk! I love Fage.

Actually I don't like fruit flavored yogurt. I grew up eating Penn Maid brand plain yogurt. Sometimes we would have it with garlic and chunks of cucumber. it's an Armenian thing. Definitely more on the savory side.
When DS9 eats fruit on the bottom yogurt, he doesn't mix it. He eats the yogurt and then the fruit.

I am a huge believer in eating a yogurt a day - not only is it healthy obviously but it really helps keep my weight down. I eat a Fage 2% plain and I add my own honey. It is soooo creamy and good. I also love to add chopped walnuts. Yum. I have a Fage yogurt most weekdays and I add honey and flax seed.

I like the Brown Cow cream top. It is higher in fat, but ohhh, so yummy and creamy.

I recommend trying greek yogurts from smaller dairies that you find in stores like Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Natural Grocers. In Texas, 3 Happy Cows is excellent!

OP you are correct; artificial sweeteners have a nasty aftertaste.
I've recently started eating the plain Fage. It is not sweet at all, but I add some granola and fruit to it, and it's a yogurt parfait. Yummy. I never thought I'd eat unsweetened unflavored yogurt.
I also like Oikos.
But Greek yogurt does taste very different to the regular kind, and I didn't like it the first or second time I tried it.

Oikos is my favorite. Recently tried the apple pie. Oh so yummy!

I love the strawberry and the honey fage yogurts. They are both so good.
Tonight we're having turkish kebabs with plain yogurt/turkish seasoning/cucumber dipping sauce.
I love greek yogurt.

I love Chobani peach! I started with Trader Joes and when I posted about it here everyone told me to try Chobani! I did and like it better.

My favorite is Oikos Greek yogurt in Lemon Meringue or Key Lime. Yum! I cannot stand chunky fruit in my yogurt. The texture grosses me out.

The Greek Gods and Muller are my go to brands. Noosa is good too. Everything else has a bad after taste.

I like honey in plain yogurt (the only kind I've found that is not sweetened at all), Fage makes one of the flip containers that just has plain yogurt and honey, but you can probably save money if you buy a bigger container of the plain and squirt some honey in.

We love the Yoplait Greek 100 calorie yogurt cups. They're great plain, with fruit on top, or in smoothies.

We are Fage only at our house. Plain. Sometimes with a bit of honey and/or granola. Sometimes with fresh fruit. We also use it in place of sour cream.
Yogurt with artificial sweeteners tastes awful.

I usually eat vanilla Oikos Greek Yogurt. I recently tried one that was strawberry flavored and had chocolate on the top--mixed together it was delicious.
Because of this thread, I got some Fage to try. I hope I like it because it'll be my breakfast this week!

I just made my own homemade Greek yogurt yesterday. It was awesome. I've tried all of the different kinds Chobani. Fags. Oikos, Yoplait etc and this is the most tasty that I have found. And it's all because you ladies talked about electric pressure cooker's. I bought an instant pot and it had a setting on it for making yogurt. It rocks.

they all seemed to leave an aftertaste. I think the aftertaste was from the artificial sweeteners in them. Yes you're right, I am imagining the after taste in my head just reading your post - yuk! I used to eat diet yoghurt with awful artificial sweeteners all the time until a colleague told me that it is better to eat full fat rather than diet. She was super fit and slim, so I took her word for it! My favorite brand at the moment is Gippsland Dairy (obviously you won't have it there) and my favorite flavour is Strawberry and Watermelon. My other favorite is Eat Gourmet - Lemon Myrtle and Macadamia. OMG, it is to die for! I tried Chobani for the first time the other day and it was nice. I had the passionfruit. ** Yoghurt and flavour are coming up as a spelling error, but that is the correct spelling here.

My absolute favorite brand is Continental. But I will give Fage another try, it sounds like I've been missing something.

Ok...I just tried the honey and walnuts on top of Greek vanilla yogurt. I think I have a new favorite dessert...I was practically licking the bowl!

We only have plain unsweetened yogurt. That way I can use it in cooking as well as dessert. We add our own fruit and honey to taste.

Oikos is my favorite greek yogurt (LOVE cafe latte and banana cream and toasted coconut and...well, you get it! ) and Fage is a close 2nd. Love the regular versions of both. I still do like some Chobani but it's not my go to anymore.

I love yogurt. I'm a Chobani girl. Me too. I think Fage is nasty. But I stopped eating it all because it's way too much sugar. And it doesn't matter if it's real sugar, it's still sugar, it's often refined, and it's not good for you. The 12g from the plain yogurt is plenty, but they add in that much again to make the fruit flavors sweet. Twenty five grams of sugar is not cool. I like the plain and add some honey to taste at home idea though.
