You could try eating regular plain yogurt, as it's naturally sweeter than Greek-style. The straining process removes a lot of the sugar.
I like greek yogurt savory too. I add za'atar, a pinch salt, and a drizzle of olive oil.

I think the problem is that OP has a sweet tooth (no judgment here; I have one too). So anything that is going to make your yogurt taste the way you like it is going to have a lot of sugar.

Options:
1. Decide the stuff in yogurt that's good for your offsets the sugar.
2. Wean yourself off sugar, adding whatever you need to make it palatable, but in smaller and smaller quantities.
3. Go cold turkey -- avoid sweets for about three weeks. When you add them back, they will take off the back of your head.
4. Get older. I still have a sweet tooth, but as I've aged, my tastebuds are more sensitive to sweetness. I don't like a lot of the things that ring my kids chimes, including the sugary kinds of yogurt. Too sweet!

This will sound weird, but I actually like it savory. I add salt + pepper and a few drops of good olive oil or lemon, hummus or tahini, or the eggplant/red pepper pastes from Trader Joes. Harissa is also really good. Sometimes I use it as a dip for veggies or pita, or I just eat it with a spoon. Enjoy!

I just made a dip last night that was greek yogurt + peanut butter + a bit of honey. It was fantastic.

I use fresh fruit and granola. We prefer fage to chobani.

Not all Greek yogurts have the same taste. I really like Fage 2% and will make do with the 0%. Some have fillers/thickeners in them, and some just taste off to me. So it might be worthwhile to try a few different brands.

When I first started eating plain Greek yogurt, I added honey and/or berries, sometimes granola, too. Dried, frozen, or fresh fruit has a fair amount of natural sugar, but it also has fiber and antioxidants, so I'm OK with it.

You could also try fruit purees or the Simply Fruit preserves. That will give you a texture more similar to the flavored yogurts, but you can control how sweet it is and gradually cut down how much you add.

I get a big bag of frozen organic blueberries at Costco. Put a handful in a bowl and microwave for a minute. Then put the yogurt on top with a little cereal and stir it up. The blueberries release enough juice to loosen up the yogurt a bit.

I add Trader Joe's strawberry preserves

and wild blueberries 9Wyman's frozen from costco)

Still has sugar, but tastes amazing and is definitely healthier than Chobani

I also add frozen pureed mango (still partially frozen). I buy packages from the latin store.

Here are a few of my favorite ways to eat it:
- Sprinkle with olive oil and some hoagie and eat as a dip.
- In a food processor: add a bit of bananas / strawberries or other berries and some sugar and mix.
- Add a tsp of honey or orange marmalade or other favorite jam

Yum!! Also, Starbucks has this parfait that I would love to recreate - plain Greek yogurt with honey and coconut granola/dried cherries. It is the bet Greek yogurt combination I've ever tasted but way too high in sugar to have too often.

Sprinkle with dark chocolate and roasted almond slivers.

It takes a little while to get used to the unsweetened yogurt. I agree that mixing in a little honey or maple syrup helps (I also like agave). Over time you can use less and start to appreciate the flavor of the yogurt. I mix 2% greek yogurt (Fage) with a little bit of granola and chia seeds. A spoon full of dried wild blueberries (TJs) also sweetens without too much added sugar.

Didn't chobani just have a big recall?

It will increase the sugar content a bit, but not nearly as much as the flavored yogurts - but, a drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup makes a big difference. I also mix in walnuts for crunch and bananas or mango or some other really sweet fruit.

For a long time I was eating the chobhani greek yogurt that contained fruit. My sister who is a physician told me that I shouldn't be eating the fruit flavored yogurts because of their high sugar content. I purchased some costco plain yogurt and mixed strawberries. It tasted awful.
Any suggestions on how to make plain greek yogurt taste better without increasing sugar content would be greatly appreciated
