Just that really. I've only ever eaten sweet yoghurt you get from supermarkets. But never plain.

Few times a week. I cook with it a lot so buy huge pots of it.

AriettyHomily · 13/10/2022 09:59

I have fage for breakfast every day. I use plain yogurt in cooking.

Daily, on fruit, and often in cooking.

3-4 times a week, I have plain greek yoghurt with muesli frequently.

hairyunicorn · 13/10/2022 10:03

A couple of times a month, if that.

SatinHeart · 13/10/2022 10:04

A couple of times a week but i never used to. As part of trying to reduce sugar I weaned myself onto plain yoghurt with fruit.

One tip is that full fat plain yoghurt tastes much much nicer than low/no fat plain yoghurt.

emmathedilemma · 13/10/2022 10:04

It's the only yogurt I eat

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 13/10/2022 10:04

3-4 times a week, with fruit.

A spoonful of Greek yogurt on frozen blueberries and granola every morning.

Often a dollop in soup, and we use plain Greek yogurt in place of cream on pies or crumbles etc, instead of sour cream on nachos or burritos.

I never buy sweetened / flavoured yogurts.

NoYouSirName · 13/10/2022 10:04

Every day, at least.

Forfukzsake · 13/10/2022 10:04

Most days with granola for my breakfast.

SallySailor · 13/10/2022 10:05

Most days. Mostly full fat Greek. Would only eat fruit flavoured if in a hotel or somewhere with a not great choice of breakfast foods

ShadowPuppets · 13/10/2022 10:05

The kids have yogurt for pudding and we alternate between plain and flavoured ones, I’ll often have a bit of whichever’s open in the evening if I’m craving something more after our dinner, so maybe twice a week?

DD for some reason actually prefers plain yogurt to flavoured, the strange child 😀

Gazelda · 13/10/2022 10:06

Daily for breakfast and in some recipes.

TitInATrance · 13/10/2022 10:06

Once or twice a week. Always plain Greek yoghurt - I like Lidls and the individual ones keep ages. I usually put fruit and sometimes sugar in it, but I can’t bea4 the flavoured yoghurt now.
I use it for cooking too.

missmoffatt2705 · 13/10/2022 10:06

We eat natural yogurt daily. Sweetened yogurt is generally too sweet. Greek yogurt is very creamy and not sour or unpleasant and we also use it for cooking. Natural yogurts do vary between brands with some much more sour tasting than others.

DSGR · 13/10/2022 10:06

Fage is the only plain yoghurt I can eat really, or the posh Waitrose one. Low fat plain yoghurt is horrible, I think it has to be full fat.
I also eat fruit full fat yoghurt, choosing brands with fewer nasties

mast0650 · 13/10/2022 10:06

A few times a week, depending on how much time I am spending at home. For breakfast, snacks, dessert. With granola and/or fruit. I mostly prefer it to sweetened yoghurt these days. Has to be full fat though. Usually Yeo Valley.

MyHamsterIsSmarterThanMe · 13/10/2022 10:08

I'm originally from South India and it's common to eat yogurt rice (literally cooked rice mixed with plain yogurt) at the end of every meal. I don't do this because I'm not a big fan but everyone else in my family does. My kids often have yogurt rice as their main meal. My parents used to make yogurt themselves but we go through a couple of litres of yogurt every week I guess, sometimes more.

My dad loves pasta and after a portion of.pasta with tomato sauce he will then have pasta with yogurt. It's surprisingly not horrible especially with a few spoons of tomato sauce..

Brefugee · 13/10/2022 10:09

Every day for breakfast. I make about 2 litres every 10 days

mamacattiva · 13/10/2022 10:09

Usually every day, with fruits or granola. Also use it in baking and cooking (marinades, etc).

Lidl Greek yogurt is the best.

Hyperion100 · 13/10/2022 10:10

everyday. the 10% fat greek one from lidl is incredible!

BryceQuinlanTheFirst · 13/10/2022 10:10

Often. I don't buy flavoured yoghurt. I use yoghurt in salads too

toomanyflapjacks · 13/10/2022 10:10

Every day. Yeo Valley and full.fat Greek army faves. My family think I'm weird and only eat sugary things.

BarbaraofSeville · 13/10/2022 10:11

Supermarket full fat Greek style yogurt is the only yogurt I eat, we almost always have a tub on the go. I can't really tell the difference between that and proper Greek yogurt at 2/3 times the price.

I eat it with nuts/seeds/fruit and maybe a little honey or maple syrup. Plus for cooking including as a substitute for all types of cream in savoury food like curries and Mexican food as a dip instead of sour cream.
