 I tried this but it just came out tasting like yogurty chemicals.  Blech!  I bet I am getting the proportions wrong somehow.  

OP I feel your pain;  I am trying to make myself like Greek yogurt too.  So far I only like it in smoothies (ie: cannot taste it at all!), but I am trying!

I'm not a big fan of greek yogurt by itself either.  I also notice some brands do seem a little bitter compared to others.  I can't stand the honey versions.

My favorite yogurt is Carbmaster Yogurt from Kroger stores.  It does not have as much protein as greek yogurt, but it's only 4 carbs and still packs 8 grams of protein.  Imo it's a perfect snack.

I didn't think it tastes bitter, but it does taste vinegar-y to me.  So we're probably describing the same thing.  I pretty much HAVE to doctor my greek yogurt or I won't eat it.  I use a teaspoon of vanilla extract, some sweet n' low (or sweetener of your choice), and that's it (unless I use some real fruit pieces).  I haven't found a brand that I really prefer.  It all tastes kind of nasty to me.  I'm going to try sugar-free preserves though.  I loves me some strawberry yogurt! 

I am going to go pick up some right now.  I've been having some digestive issues lately, which I think is from trying to eat too wide a variety of foods this early out.  Need to go back to basics for awhile until my guts stop hating me.

I got some and thought the same thing.  I used the water flavor Mio.  It was sooooooo good with that!
