Yucky greek yogurt!!

Fage, Cabot, or Vosko's plain, full fat.
I add a bit of pumpkin and stevia to them. Very good.0 -
I have 2 choices here ... PC and Liberté, both 0% fat. (I wish I could get the higher fat) I'd been eating the Liberté and then PC came out with theirs and it was much cheaper so I bought a tub. It tasted like someone had poured a salt shaker in to it. Then I read the label ... almost 3 x as much sodium. Yuck. It was deliciously thick though so if they ever come out with a lower sodium version I'd probably try it again.
Thankfully, Costco now carries Liberté at a much lower price than the grocery store.0 -
I like Zoi honey-flavored Greek yogurt, too. It's a local western Washington brand, so I don't know if it's widely available. Greek God's is good.
oh i didn't realize it was a local brand! i love things native to western washington <33
anyway, I usually get the full fat version and only eat 1/2 a cup at a time. i usually don't go over my fat for the day anyhow, and it helps keep you full. it also helps the flavor a lot i think, though i haven't tried the reduced fat. i usually just get plain, but maybe i'll get honey next0 -

The Zoi honey is DIVINE!!!! It's hard for me to only have 1/2 a cup. LMAO!!! The plain non-fat is pretty tart, but I do use it for cooking and it is a great substitute for sour cream. I have sweetened the plain non-fat w/ splenda or stevia and added some blueberry compote and it was great!0 -
Fage (2%) and Chaboni are the only ones I like, and I either have to get plain and add fruit or the ones with fruit. I did not like the the one with honey at all.0
-
I accidentally grabbed the Safeway brand honey flavor Greek yogurt. I don't know what was Greek about it. It was watery, and had a terrible flavor. Avoid this one, everyone!
Have a great day!!
While I generally *love* Chobani, I totally hated the Honey-flavored Chobani. It was too bitter and just tasted like plain yogurt which I'm not a fan of. I like some fruit and/or granola in it to liven it up a little.0 -
i don't eat greek yogurt by itself I throw it in smoothie's so i really don't even notice the flavor0

Liberté is my choice. I eat a lot of it. I found a few full fat ones at the local Foodland, but I don't want the fat. I am eating it for the protein. If I want fat it will be from something with high Omega 3s.0 -
I really like Skyr! It's traditional Icelandic yogurt but nutritionally very similar to Greek yogurt- tons of protein. I can unfortunately only find it in Whole Foods but it is delicious!0
-
Do give up try some of the brands people suggested. My first try was Yoplait and it was just nasty, I'm glad I didn't give up. My husband tried one bite of his and threw it away. I ended up in a neighboring town with a bigger grocery store and pretty much got one of each of the brands of Greek yogurt they had. Like may others I like the Chobani , Oikos and Fage. The Greek Gods was okay but for 240 calories it's not that good, I'll stick with the others.0

that's a kind of very fresh cheese isn't it? i found a recipe for that, sounds like something i could make myself:

I really like Total 0% fat Greek yoghurt. Lovely and creamy, and very fresh-tasting. Also excellent in curries!0
-
I've tried several brands of Greek and didn't like any of them. I'm not a picky eater either normally (obviously )
anyway
I've decided to use my normal American light in moderation and get the protein somewhere else.
Just my two cents. Not into thick yogurt I guess.0 -
Forgot the name brand I use, but I buy it a Krogers, and its in a big white tub.
I buy the plain and then add whatever fruits, nuts, granola etc. in it. I use it instead of sour cream too.0 -
I tried the Dannon and it was horrible....at least I thought so. Way to thick for me and it had a strange taste...like the strawberry was fake. Not sure, just didnt like it!!0
-
I LOVE Fage Greek yogurt! I think everyone who said it was gross, should give this brand a try! The fruit comes seperate on the side, you just put a little onto each spoonful. So good! And they have awesome flavors like cherry pomegranate and stawberry goji. YUM!0
-
Right now I am addcited to Chobani. They don't sell the plain here though, so I have to get the kind with the fruit. It is so yummy though.
Oikos is pretty good too...although twice as expensive.
Have not tried any others...0 -
I purchased the plain greek yogurt and added some Mrs Dash lime and chili spice to it. It was a great substitute for sour cream in my low fat taco!0

Here is a good article about skyr:

Had Athenos where the strawberries were in a separate part - that one was horrible. Haven't tried any of the others after that experience.
I really like Chobani and I think I have had the Yoplait also. Chobani fruit on bottom is good. I even bought the Chobani champions the other day - they are geared for kids it looks like - my son loves the honey-nana one while I love the mixed berry one. the fruit is already mixed in, it has a nice consistency and the little container is 100 calories. Perfect for my mid morning snack at work.0 -
The Okios Honey on the Bottom Greek yogurt is sooo GOOD!!0
-
Chobani is the best, in my opinion.
Just had some, actually.0 -
sorry to revive a dead thread, but i just want to mention...
i just bought the honey greek yogurt. and OMG it is better than ice cream!!!0 -

Yes, I eat it instead of ice cream.
I found Auburn,WA-produced Zoi Greek yogurt at a Thriftway in Montana. Our Winco Foods in Everett, WA, carries all 4 varieties of Zoi yogurt at a great price!0 -
I love all of the flavors that Chobani offers. I bought a Yoplait Honey Vanilla one last week and it was the nastiest thing I have ever tasted.0
-
My friend made me some Greek yoghurt with her EasiYo maker.....mmmmmmmm! I loved it so much I bought myself one (not quite Victor Kiam, I grant you!)!
Honestly, it makes wonderfully yummy yoghurt, is really easy to use (it's like a large Thermos flask), and is so much cheaper than shop-bought yoghurt. I am a total convert!0 -
I'm with easiyo too. Obviously love the full fat one but I use the low fat most.0
-
I like Fage plain nonfat, with some berries or fresh fruit, or some Kashi almond flax cereal. It is thick, creamy, and makes a fantastic substitute for sour cream. I tried some of the Chobani the other day, and liked that as well. Cook's Illustrated just reviewed Greek yogurts. They disliked Greek Gods because it has added thickeners rather than being drained as the others are. They also disliked Yoplait. They liked an expensive imported brand, but many of the other types listed here did well. Fage is a Greek company that set up business here in the US, and rated pretty well. I get it at Costco.0

Last weekend I found Athenos nonfat honey packs at my local 99 Cent Store (as in, that's the actual name of the store) for 50 cents each. It was the only flavor they had, but I bought several because the price was so incredible. They're higher in sugar because of the honey, but OMG... So yummy! I stir them very loosely because I like running into the thick ribbons of honey. They have made such great snacks, though I've only eaten them every other day to minimize the impact of the sugar. Going back again tomorrow to hunt for more. I hope they have some kind of a fruit flavor this time!
If you have a 99 Cent Store in your area, it's definitely worth checking out.0
