Favorite type of greek yogurt?

Tortitudekitty

Tesco 0% fat natural yoghurt and add a handful of blueberries!

I always have a variety of Choibani on hand. I love most of the flavors. It has far fewer fake ingredients.

Yesterday, I discovered a new version from them, with steel cut oats in them. I tried one this morning. Really good!

I did have some of the bad (recalled) yogurt. I stayed away from Choibani for awhile, but other Greek yogurts had too many artificial ingredients.

Another good one (not found everywhere) is Siggi's Skyr. It is Icelantic Greek-style.

Dannon light & fit vanilla greek yogurt is my favorite. I'm diabetic, so I have to watch for sugar content, and this only has 7g per serving -- most flavored yogurts have around 30 or more. i use it in smoothies and as a snack with granola.

Great value Greek Non-fat :
cal 120
pro 23 grams

Add my own fruit and a couple of walnuts or almonds.

Yes, Great Value is excellent (Wal-Mart's brand). I do prefer the Vanilla though.
Lots of protein, thick, creamy and delicious. I add some Nature's Valley Protein Granola.
It's like dessert!

On the go I like YoCruch Low Fat Greek. Its not entirely low fat but it is low calorie and very very filling. I like the strawberry with granola because it gives it some texture.

At home I like Fage honey vanilla. I toss in dried cranberries or raisins, sunflower seeds, almonds etc and its a complete breakfast for me. Sometimes if I'm feeling rebellious I'll toss in a tbs of mini mms for good measure--its like a blizzard from DQ

Greek Gods Honey (not Honey Vanilla).

we dont have a wide range of greek yoghurt in the uk but the muller light lemon is lovely

Oh, yes this. That's my favourite Muller Greek-style flavour, but their whole range is delicious. All of Spelga's flavours are really tasty too, particularly the heather honey and coconut ones. I think they're only an NI brand though.

I'm a full fat Fage girl. Our Walmarts and such have it so it's really not very expensive here.

If you like Oikos, Trader Joe's brand tastes quite similar IIRC. Maybe give that a try?

I used Great Value Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt. I buy the bigger container, not very expensive. I use it plain as a substitute for sour cream and if I want vanilla I mix in vanilla protein powder. Great with berries and granola.

I was all about Chobani until I tried Yoplait's Greek yogurt. So yummy! I haven't tried Oikos yet.

jillian_fan2425

I really didn't like the Yoplait because all I could taste was the artificial sweetener, but that's just me. I love Chobani (especially the coconut almond flip) and Muller (especially the caramelized almond). They're still loaded with sugar, but I struggled for years to enjoy yogurt and I'm just glad I can finally eat it. Of the two, Muller is a lot thicker. Oikos isn't bad either, but it tastes a little thick/chalky to me.

Not sure if you can get this in the States but Rachels Organic Greek Yogurt is lovely. Sorry I don't have nutritional values but if I eat it then it's pretty O.K.Other than that as others have said the range of Greek Yogurt (as with most things) is very limited here in the U.K.so Muller Light Greek yogurt is the next best.

I love Noosa Greek yoghurt! It's full fat (11gms) and 270 cals per 8 ounce container but I work it into my diet. It is so yummy!

ilfaith

I usually buy Fage (of, if I make the trip to Costco, their Kirkland brand is quite good). I buy plain and add either fresh fruit, a little honey, or some "all fruit" type jam. I do buy the flavored individual yogurts as well, as they are easy on the go, and my kids love them.

None of that fat free muck for me. I go for Rachel's Natural ..

Yes we do ... try Rachel's

I've been eating the Oikos as well and wanted to try something new this week. I got the Dannon Fit & Light Strawberry Cheesecake/Raspberry Chocolate package (6 containers/80 calories each).

Haven't had the Raspberry Chocolate yet, but the Strawberry Cheesecake was absolutely delicious

[And I say this as someone who really can't stand the taste of plain yogurt.]

Target has a brand called "simply balanced". I prefer it to the others. I just buy plain and add my own ingredients. My fav combo right now is pb2 and vanilla protein powder. Tates like a vanilla wafer.

I used to eat Chobani all the time. I stayed away from Fage because of how expensive it was... but I ADORE Fage 2% plain. So good with fruit and nuts, and if I'm in the mood, a little bit of raw honey. I haven't been able to find the full fat Fage in any of my supermarkets, but I recently picked up the Chobani full-fat. (It's labeled 4%, it's dark green, 32 oz). I like the flavor and the smooth creaminess, however it is a little too watery for me.

Home made! I know, sounds time consuming, but it isn't!

You need:
1/2-1 gallon organic milk (I use whole)
Yogurt starter (3-4 Tbsp live culture yogurt such as Fage, or some from your last batch!)

Using candy thermometer, pot, and wooden spoon heat milk over med-high until it reaches 180 degrees. Remove from heat. Let milk cool to 110 degrees. Setting the pot in a sink or bowl of ice water makes this part go faster.

Meanwhile:
Spoon yogurt starter into large enough glass bowl to hold all milk.
When milk has reached 110 degrees add about a cup of it to bowl with starter and whisk until well combined. Add the rest of the milk to bowl and cover tightly.

Now, you need to keep it warm for about 8 hours. There are many suggestions for that on the internet but this is my fav:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees for 1-2 min. Turn it off! Turn oven light on. Wrap your bowl of going to be yogurt in some dish towels and place on oven rack near light. Close door and walk away.

8 hours later...

Your yogurt is done culturing and can be placed in the fridge. 4-8 hours without disturbing will yield best results. Whole milk will make for a thicker yogurt, lower fat = thinner.

Want Greek? Line a colander with coffee filters or cheese cloths and place over another bowl (like a double boiler). Spoon yogurt into colander and strain until you have reached desired consistency. You can make this so thick you will be able to stand a heavy spoon up in it. Plus you have whey in the bottom bowl!

This whole process only takes about a half hour of actual hands on time and has saved me TONS of money! For a few dollars a week I can give my family organic dairy products that contain only the things I want to give them. I use this yogurt plain in place of sour cream and in dressings. Really strained "yogurt cheese" is thick like whipped cream cheese. I make "go gurts" for the kids with silicone tubes. And of course Greek yogurt for snacking!

I like Alpina and also the generic from Aldi's Supermarket and Shaws. As far as the sugar content goes, I've noticed that depending on which fruit is added to the yogurt, the sugar can vary. Don't know if this helps, but these are the types I usually buy.

Just read the post about making your own yogurt. Sounds AWESOME! I'm wondering how long it would last once it's done?

Chobani for me, since it's the only raspberry-flavored Greek yogurt i can usually find.

And I also got some of the bad Chobani yogurt about a year and a half ago. They sent me coupons for six free four-packs! It did take a couple of packages for me to trust the product again, but now I love it.

Smari (Icelandic) is the best! High protein and low calorie. Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere after moving to CA... I used to find it at the New Seasons around Portland, OR. I don't like the fact that Chobani made their sizes smaller, so I'm eating Fage these days. I always eat the plain (18gr of protein and 100 calories) and add the fruit that I like (peach, nectarine, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, pear...). I don't like the ones that already come with sugar or fruit because the protein content is lower and I can't control how much sugar goes into it.

nickjudson

Full Fat Faye! sooo good and a nice substitute for sour cream in recipes too

trudywc2

Siggi's Coconut yogurt (not a strong flavor) techinically it's Icelandic yogurt but its soooo good.

I'm not too fond of most flavored yogurts, but I do like the Tillamook greek yogurt (vanilla) 12 g sugar and raspberry (14 g sugar). Mostly I just eat Fage and add my own honey and/or fruits to it.
