Yogurt

I have seen alot of people eating greek yogurt, and I was wondering about the taste. I have been eating yopait light and have found it just tastes too sweet. I use to eat regular yoplait, but switched to cut calories to help lose weight. Any thoughts or suggetions??

I have several co-workers who LOVE greek yogurts. I tried it - several different flavors and brands and I don't like it. It seems to heavy to me and tastes more like sour cream then yogurt.

I used to eat Yoplait as well but wanted to get away from the high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners so I switched to Brown Cow and Wallaby brands. I get them at Vitamin Cottage (Natural Grocers). They are both 140 for the low fat but I'd rather eat a few more calories then consume all that unnatural sweetness.

I will only eat 1 type of greek yogurt and that is Fage Total, full fat. I have tried several others and they are GROSS.

Yeah I might switch back to regular low fat yogurt, but since I like sour cream I might try the greek. Thanks for the info! :happy:

Greek yogurt does not taste like sour cream. I could eat a tub of sour cream plain but greek yogurt I just couldn't stomach. The honey flavor is alright - I bought the Greek Gods brand. I mixed it with fruit and it tasted great with some granola as well. I got tired of it after awhile though. I'd like to try the Fage as I've heard it's the best and I really need more protein than I'm getting.

Just don't think you can buy the cheapest stuff because it seems with Greek yogurt, the more you pay, the better it is.

The Dannon Greek Yogurt (what they showed on biggest loser) tasted like wall paper paste.. I gave my other container to my co-worker and he agreed..

Chiobani stuff with fruit in it is better, its just really thick and its a lot more expensive

I love Greek yogurt! It is really creamy. I get plain non fat Fage yogurt and mix in fruit and honey. It is really good and has 20 grams of protein in one cup. I have also tried Chobani it is really good. I like the honey flavor and the pineapple flavor. I switched from Dannon Lite and Fit because it was too sweet. The plain is about 120 per cup and flavored it about 140. I say try it!

I like to eat it with fruit or with a drizzle of honey. I never eat it on its own. It DOES taste like sour cream !

Vosko's or Fage Total - add a bit of fruit / nuts for flavor.
