I am imagining all your posts in Ned Flanders' voice. What did he say? His favorite Popsicle flavor is "plain" ice or something like that.

Tough choice as I love most yogurts, but raspberry won by a nose.

I choose Vanilla, not realizing it was multiple choice. /facepalm I'd have chosen raspberry as well.

But it does depend on the maker/type of yogurt. For 'normal' yogurt, I loooooove vanilla because to me it tastes exactly like cheesecake. And I loooooove cheesecake

I've become enamoured of the Oikos greek yogurt though, and their vanilla is ....yuck. To me, anyway. Same with honey; same with a LOT of their flavors. But their raspberry and straw/bana ones are very, very yummy.

Of course my favorite doesn't exist anymore: Mountain High used to make crunchy yogurt that I also really loooooved. But they either are out of business or...something. I should look it up. Yes, I could just add granola or somewhat to my own yogurt but it's not the same :P

I will explain the Mountain High thing a bit more, since google is failing me.

In the 70s-80s, when yogurt was still sold for the most part at health food stores and the variety at normal markets wasn't nearly as broad as it is today, you could buy these flat, round containers of yogurt...like an 8-oz sour cream size...and they had granola, grapenuts, SOMETHING in it that was just amazing. And the fruit bits...my memory senses say they were like dried cranberries or something. It was just really, really amazing, and I am sad to see Mountain High does not make it anymore. I can still taste it, over 20 years later, that's all I'm sayin'. Yum.

Have you tried Greek yogurt? I find it more creamy and tasty than the regular stuff.

Don't buy a lot of yogurt. Buy Yoplait Light (suck it, purists! ) when I do. My favorites being Apricot-Mango, Strawberry-Banana and Orange Cream.

I make smoothies often for breakfast. Some vanilla or honey Greek yogurt, juice, ice, and frozen fruit. I've found that frozen bananas are the key to a nice, thick consistency--just make sure you're using a powerful blender. And other frozen fruits for flavor (peach, pineapple, or blueberry, usually). Yum!

A three-way tie between Chobani apple cinnamon, Dannon Oikos black cherry, and Greek Gods reduced fat orange vanilla cinnamon.

I also like taking vanilla or honey yogurt and mixing in my own cinnamon. There's a theme here...

Since I started making my own, I can't stand the flavored yogurts anymore. So, full fat homemade plain with raspberries, a little agave nectar, raw oatmeal and pecans.

You just be talking about Liberté lemon Greek-style yogurt. That stuff is awesome. I've always liked lemon yogurt, this is way better than any other lemon yogurt. Apparently, it's really popular because that flavor always sells out first.

I hate that I've jumped on the greek yogurt bandwagon (especially because they're usually 2x the price of 'regular' yogurt), but Chobani makes a DELICIOUS passion fruit greek yogurt. Holy cow is it good.

Yes, the Greek yogurt really does taste better. Love the Dannon Greek raspberry. Heavenly.

Voted for the plain - vanilla poll option.

My true vote is just for vanilla.

voted "other", my favorites are vanilla and key lime, though I also like some of the fruit flavors for a change of pace. I don't really like plain yogurt although I've eaten it in the past.

I do like the flavor, but don't really care for the texture with the seeds included if you happen to crunch down on them.
