    I used to love yogurt but something changed and I just can't eat it anymore. It tastes strange to me. I actually prefer to have fat free cottage cheese with fruit in place of the yogurt.

    Just a thought......

    Chobani greek yogurt is good but I dont know how much sugar you can have. It tasted different than regular yogurt

    I think the texture of the greek yogurt is gross. It reminds me of gel like textures only with my tongue. It is a preference thing though.

    I am in Love with Greek yogurt.. I am not kidding.. I LOVE THIS STUFF . I eat it almost every morning. it's creamy and decandant and just wonderful.. I use Chobani, brown cow or oikos I've never tried the plain but I second the suggestion of adding some all fruit jam... sounds like it would be great! I may have to do that

    Can you get Muller Light where you are? The sugars at at about 7 gms/100, and most (5gms) are naturally occurring in the milk and fruit rather than added. Have a look at http://www.mullerdairy.co.uk/nutrition-information/muller-light-fruit for more infomation

    I've started using Greek Yogurt or Kroger Carbmaster in my oatmeal and/or smoothies. The texture of Greek has taken time to get used to but it's worth it.

    I think the all natural plain yogurts are the healthiest way to go. Modified corn starch, high fructose corn syrups found in processed foods are BAD!!! I agree, if you add your own fruit, to let the frozen fruit thaw enough that the juices mix in for a better taste. But, if you think about it, low fat yogurt, even sweetened with sugar has 3 1/2 x's less of a glycemic load than instant rice, mac and cheese, around 2 1/2 x's less of a a glycemic load than even long grain rice, couscous, a bagel, a baked potato, and close to 2 x's less than instant oatmeal, a blueberry muffin, brown rice, a doughnut, whole-wheat spaghetti or a sweet potato. Sometimes we eat these other foods thinking (some of them) are a healthy choice, but the higher the glycemic load, the more your blood sugar spikes, and the less control you have over energy levels and appetite. ...anyway, that's how I look at it...

    I like the idea of adding the jam... Might try that too.

    But what I love in the morning is greek yogurt (any flavor) with 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean cereal. I only have a goal of 13g of Fiber each day on MFP but really we all should be eating 25-35g per day. I was recently diagnosed with Diverticulosis so making sure I eat enough fiber is a MUST. Not only that but the added fiber helps me to feel full for longer. I love it!

    I drink the danacol (by danone) yogurts and they have 4grams sugar each. They are small though.

    Stay away from artificial sweetners.

    I'd take sugar over those nasty chemicals anyday.

    Enjoy your yogurt. It could be worse.

    Today I found a new yogurt... I'm not sure how long it's been out, since I've always just reached for one kind and I never really looked around, but after watching my sugars I realized that I'd have to start doing something different.
    The kind I found is called Yoplait FiberOne. One yorgurt cup, or 4 oz, has the following nutrition information (this is for the strawberry kind, they also have blueberry and key lime varieties, which I'm sure you could look up online) --
    Calories: 50
    Fat Calories: 0
    Total Fat: 0
    Cholesterol: <5mg
    Sodium: 55mg
    Potassium: 150mg
    Total Carbs: 13
    Fiber: 5
    Sugars: 4
    Protein: 3

    It contains Aspartame, so it would be a no-go for some people. But I was thrilled to find it! I love yogurt, but 26 sugars is just too much for me.
