This is how I feel too.

I like the Icelandic best. I get the painted sisters brand.
For geeek yogurt are you getting full fat pr reduced fat? I find the fat free stuff to taste like chalk. I like the TJ full fat Greek or Chobani full fat. I also mix in berries.

I don’t, and asked here for creamtop yogurt but realized it’s not so much creamtop but rather unstrained yogurt that I was craving. Here is the thread with the recommendations:

Maple hill and Alexander creamtop became my new favorites, but they also have regular (not Greek) yogurts.

I love both Greek and Icelandic yogurt. I add honey and berries.

Greek yogurt doesn’t taste like yogurt to me. I’m convinced it was created for people who don’t like the actual taste of plain yogurt.

I eat a very ripe organic banana right before tasting the yogurt. It helps to prime the palate.

I like it but hate regular yogurt. I load it with berries, chia, muesli, maybe a dollop of honey or maple syrup or vanilla.

I only like Fage. Chobani is ok if I can’t find Fage but it’s not as thick. The absolute worst is Trader Joe’s.

I also like Icelandic provisions the best. Aldi’s store brand for plain full fat Greek yogurt second.
I think sweetening defeats the purpose of incorporating something healthy like greek yogurt into your diet. I prefer taking it in a savory direction and take inspiration from cuisines that use yogurt. It’s great as a bed for juicy roasted tomatoes, or mixed with herbs and spices like a raita, for example.

I only like Fage too. The others are sour to me.

I add fresh lime juice and a little sugar or a splenda. It is wonderful.

Yes, I think you’re exactly the market for it: people who don’t like the sour-ish taste of regular yogurt, but still want to eat yogurt.

I love regular plain yogurt with nothing added, so Greek yogurt is just bland and blah to me.

Y’all, I know it’s higher in protein, but I swear it’s like eating paste. How do people enjoy this? Realize I may be in the minority here.

I hate Greek yogurt and only like plain whole milk yogurt, so that’s what I stick to. Otherwise it’s like eating chalk. I like the Brown Cow cream top yogurt.

Whip it with a fork to make it less thick.

I like the flavored ones - chobani makes a “lower sugar” one. But I do plain sometimes too with add ins- frozen blueberries and some grape nuts for crunch. Honey, vanilla, cinnamon. Apples and cinnamon. Defrosted mixed berries and their juices.
