Well if there is a better Yogurt out there with better stats than Triple Zero Oikos, I challenge someone out there to find it for me. In my opinion this Yogurt Rocks!!! Plus is sweetened with Stevia with no artificial sweeteners and 15 grams of protein!!! But is there something out there better?

    I <3 TZ. It sits very well on my temperamental stomach and I can add mix-ins to give all kinds of different dessert options.

    For flavored yogurts, I really like the Light and Fit Greek brand. I get 12g protein and 9g of carbs for 80 calories (I personally look for low-carb yogurts, just so I can take less insulin).

    Well some people don't like the chicory root fiber. I personally don't really care for the taste that much, but yeah, nutrition wise, it's good and it fills me up more than others, so I still buy it.

    I've never tried this before, just saw it announced for my country today actually, but it also looks pretty good.
    Sweetened with sugar. Very low fat and more protein.

    ETA: natural variatie is not sweetened, only their flavored varieties.

    I prefer Noosa or 2% Fage plain with honey.

    "Better" is highly subjective and relative to individual needs...

    but I like Fage plain 0%. 6 ounces (a bit over 150 grams) has 100 calories and 18 grams of protein and 7 grams carbohydrates. It is not sweetened...I do not like the taste of any artificial sweetener.

    I'm having fun trying out Kefir.

    My gut does seem to handle it very well.

    I can't stand the taste of stevia in anything, and I hate the taste of artificial sweeteners in yogurt although I'm fine with them in most other foods. So, for me any yogurt sweetened with sugar would be 'better'.

    If I want dairy, good protein, and relatively low carb I usually default to cottage cheese instead of yogurt.

    How filling is it? I typically avoid drinking calories.

    @francl27 the two kinds I've tried were different thicknesses. One was like buttermilk and the second was spreadable. I find it about the same texture and digestion as yogurts which can range from you, know, watery to the lovely thick Greek stuff.

    The only yogurt I really like is the kind you can buy from a Greek deli. I have a friend bring it from 2 hours away! It tastes like cream cheese, but not as sweet.

    I usually eat Greek yogurt. My favorite is fage the original or with the strawberry and goji :D

    Cabot is my mainstay- I can't bring myself to pay 8$ for a tub of Fage- and the rest of the other brands (including chowbani) suck monkey rocks.

    4.99 regular- 3.99 on sale- I get six servings out of it- plain 10% milk fat. 310 calories per serving of 4- works ou tto 206 calories for roughly 150 grams of product.
    makes me happy. and its' tasty and works with all sorts of extras (honey- berries- granola- whey etc etc)

    white mountain yogurt is supposed to have 8 million good bacteria in it. Note-I understand that adding sugar to yogurt undermines eating the good bacteria.

    The only greek yogurt that doesn't dry my mouth out with tartness is Tillamook Greek. I love it! It's smooth and satisfying. I honestly think Tillamook dairy products are far superior than many. They have a consistent quality and they seem to know it because they are slightly higher in cost. But it's a price I'll pay gladly. But ill try this one you recommend now. Do try the Tillamook and see what you think!

    I am absolutely in love with Fage 0% fat Greek yogurt. 130 calories per cup, with 23g protein. I have it every morning with fresh berries, a handful of almonds, and a small spoonful of jam mixed in for sweetness. I can't tolerate stevia (or artificial sweeteners) and chicory does not sit well with me. Fage keeps it simple (and I can get a huge tub of it at Costco for a reasonable price).

    Has anyone ever tried making their own? I've done this a couple of times using the Melissa D'Arabian recipe and while it's not as low in fat or as thick as storebought (even strained through a yogurt strainer) I find the flavor very mild and it's very filling with some fruit and/or granola mixed in.

    Vanilla Greek yogurt is my favorite. Don't like the plain ones.

    Oikos was ok (even the triple zero) and Chaboni sucks IMO.. I much prefer Dannon Light n Fit.

    It's a Danish brand which they sell in Europe, don't know if it's sold in the US.

    I second the Skyr yoghurt, I bought lots of it back when I noticed it half price at tesco xD then I looked at the macros and was like WHUUT o,O they have strawberry flavour , and a honey flavour (the honey one is a bit weird, but strawberry is alright :3 )

    Yes. In my family we make our own (using Fage 2% as a starter.) However, ours is low fat as we use 1% milk and add dry milk.

    absolutely not- this is one of those things that falls squarely into the "way to much effing work for me" category.

    When I've made yogurt I put the starter in mason jars with the milk and one jar of boiling water in my cooler. Nice warm, moist, stable environment. And pretty maintenance free. Not like making cheese.
