FINALLY, I found a way to enjoy greek yogurt!!
Surely, we have all heard how protein packed, low carb, non fat, active culture wonderful Greek yogurt is, BUT the taste stops so many of us from enjoying it. To me it tastes like sour cream, which I have never liked the taste of.
Some folks either eat the fruit or honey added versions (which add carbs and sugar) or doctor up the plain stuff with SF pudding mix, SF flavor syrups, preserves, etc. I tried all this, but still the taste was a no-go.
Well, I'm delighted to say that I now love Greek 0% fat yogurt!!!
I add 1/2 tsp or so of a Crystal Light or similar 'to go' or add-to-a-bottle-of-water packet and stir well. My favorites so far are mixed berry and cherry limeade flavors.
Yummy!!! I have a new favorite snack that staves off mid-afternoon hunger.
Also, Kroger stores and their affiliated grocery store chains that carry my other favorite yogurt, Carbmaster, now carry their own brand of Greek. It's 30 cents per cup less than the next lowest priced Greek yogurt! This week it's on sale for 89 cents, regular price is 99cents. Stats: 110 cals, 0g fat, 7g carb, 16g protein.

Allergies son't permit me greek yogurt but the one time I had it was sweetened in a dessert. It was soooo good. Wish I could try some with the wylers lemon something or the other sf drink mix or even cocoa powder and splenda.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Lee,
I bet the Hawaiian punch would be good. I use a mixed berry quite often, and it reminds me of HP.
I just bought some grape (store brand) yesterday & it has now joined my list of favorite flavors!
One that I tried & disliked completely is pineapple-mango; just didnt work with the tanginess of the yogurt. You just need to experiment with the flavors.
